Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I full heartedly believe that fictional stories about characters and events can teach us about ourselves and the world around us. The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling has taught me not only about spells and magic, but more importantly about love, loyalty, courage, self-confidence, and friendship. For example, Hermione Granger taught me that an education is a girl’s best quality, even if it doesn’t make you many friends. Hermione had an extreme thirst for knowledge and always wanted to learn

The story takes place at Hogwarts, moreover, the story’s time period is in 1994. The Goblet of Fire is told in third-person limited, like every other of the books in the series. Supposedly, the Harry Potter series theme is good vs. evil, yet there are many other themes that it could be set in. Themes such as, friendship

of the Harry Potter series and it seems fitting that we finished our discussion of the books in a manner that we started and that was through the discussion of the character of Severus Snape. Snape is a character that has divided the people in the class and one in which whose development and motivations we have picked apart and analyzed from many angles. I have landed on the side that Snape is a character that suffered a great deal in order to be a double agent for the Order of the Phoenix, but that

In the sixth installment of the Harry Potter series, the characters change quite drastically. In the last book, readers find out that there is a prophecy about Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter. In this book one of the main characters finds out what the prophecy states and it changes his character signifigantly. The characters have all grown up and matured. The main characters of this book who change are: Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort, Professor Severus Snape, and Draco Malfoy. All of the characters

Moreover, Rowling presents to us at the beginning a kind of a hierarchy where the pure blood is at top and the muggles are at the bottom. We also learn in Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets that the elves are slaves, but at the end of the story, Rowling makes one of the elves a hero who will saves Harry and his friends. Also Neville Longbottom, even though he is a pureblood, is considered as a low caste wizard because he is not a gifted wizard will be the one who will kill Voldemort’s snake

Harry Potter is one of most well-known wizards of all time—perhaps better-known than Gandalf the Grey himself—and even more so is Harry’s eponymous story, a seven-part novel series by the illustrious J.K. Rowling. Harry Potter’s readers have never seriously questioned where Harry’s loyalties lie, despite his Parseltongue tendencies and connection to the Dark Lord; fans’ suspicions have always lain with the other members of the wild, unique, and unforgettable cast of characters that the novels sport

The character I found most intriguing in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was Regulus Black. Regulus Black was the younger brother of Sirius Black, and was quite a minor character in the Harry Potter series. His first appearance was in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, also written by J. K Rowling, in which Sirius showed Harry the Black Family tree. Sirius regarded Regulus negatively, quoted as saying, “…his idiot brother, soft enough to believe [their dark wizard parents]…

652-653). The difference between the Second Wizarding War and the First Wizarding War is the role love played. The First Wizarding War was only halted because of the love that Lily had for Harry. Thanks to Lily’s sacrifice, Harry’s entire generation carries on her love and uses it to their advantage as a form of power.
