Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

The name, Harry Potter, has become a household name all over the world since its first introduction in 1997. The name came from a series of books written by J.K. Rowling about a boy who grew up a somewhat normal life, to turn 11 and find out he was in fact a wizard. The books follow Harry around for seven years from the time that he learns he is a wizard, to attending wizarding school (Hogwarts), to fighting a dragon, and facing many life or death situations. The book series itself has over 450 million

I’ve always loved the cold, whether it is for the snow and playing with friends or being able to sleep with multiple blankets without overheating. Something about being cold is very calming to me, which is why I keep my windows open when I go to bed. Winter time is also when apple cider comes back which is awesome. I also feel like cold weather is nice for just relaxing, I’d find a vent somewhere in my house and put a blanket over it and me, eventually it would create a kind-of air bubble, and outside

In the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter has an internal fight between himself and the Dark Lord named Lord Voldemort. Harry is seen as the light and Voldemort as the dark. A character from the movie, Sirius Black, says, “We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.” A girl named Courtney Davidson was a former hazer in her high school, but later on regretted and was remorseful for her acts. In the

The book I read is called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is written by J.K. Rowling. Here is an example of an in text MLA citation of the book. “Harry Potter is dead… He was nothing, ever, but a boy who relied on others to sacrifice themselves for him!” - (Rowling 730). At the beginning of the book, the story starts off with Snape leaking the date as to when Harry's friends were going to send him to a safer location from the Dursley’s house on Privet

Not by coincidence, JK Rowling nicknamed her most complex, morally ambiguous Harry Potter character “The Prince”. Severus Snape’s royal epithet has more than a little in common with Machiavelli’s The Prince, which Rowling, as a student of Classics and Literature surely read. To be Machiavellian, one must be “cunning, scheming and unscrupulous,” (OED) and those who belong to Snape’s Hogwarts House of Slytherin are “cunning folks [who] use any means / to achieve their ends” (Rowling, Philosopher’s

also come to be tied to the psychology of an individual. A façade in regards to psychology is associated with an outer falsehood that conceals an internal element of the individual, which they do not want visible. Often they maintain the façade in order to be more appealing to the person they are affectionate towards. However, love’s influence in the creation and maintaining of the façade means far more than just trying to be more appealing

Gender Roles and Stereotypes of Emotions Growing up, people are put into roles based on their gender. Gender roles are, “the behaviors, attitudes, and personality traits that are designated as either masculine or feminine” (Hockenbury & Hockenbury, 2014, p. 409). Along with gender-roles are stereotypes. Stereotypes are a widely held belief about a group of people based on their race, religion, social class, or gender. Gender-role stereotypes are, “The beliefs and expectations people hold about the

human motives and emotions. Throughout the series we see Hermione grow. In the beginning, we see her as friendless and easily upset. Her classmates, especially Ron, found her extremely bossy and irritating. Only after did she lie to Prof. McGonagall, Harry and Ron realized that she was more than just “books and cleverness.” In the third book we see some major changes in Hermione’s character. In the beginning Hermione had “too much in her plate” by taking up all the subjects. Ultimately, she realizes

is Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter series, who I will analyze throughout this paper. I will be specifically using the Big Five traits and the Big Three motives to analyze her personality. First, I will begin by giving a brief description of Luna’s role in the film series and will then move on to discuss which traits she possesses and which motive fits her character by using various examples. We first meet Luna in the fifth film, Order of the Phoenix. She tells Harry that he’s not going crazy

Since the beginning of the series, Harry Potter’s life has been influenced by the choices of Albus Dumbledore. Everything that has happened to Harry has occurred because of Dumbledore, but does that make him purely Dumbledore’s boy or is he his own person with agency to do as he wants? After Voldemort murdered Harry’s parents, Dumbledore decided to bring baby Harry to his aunt and uncles because “they’re the only family he has left now,” and he feels “it’s the best place for him” (Sorcerer’s Stone)
