Piaget says that people learn things by organizing new experiences into existing schemes, or patterns of behavior and thought. That is, people’s cognitive development occurs when they adapt their thought processes and organize them into new or modified schemes, a process he calls equilibration ( McLeod, 2015). I believe that harry is the formal operational stage because Harry and his friends work together to solve problems trying to get tough a series of challenges in order the get the stone in the movie Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone around the two hour marker, and most of the challenges are life threatening to say the least but they make it though, and according to piaget's theory of cognitive development at this stage The ability to systematically plan for the future and reason about hypothetical situations are also critical abilities that emerge during this stage (McLeod, 2015).
A hero can be defined as someone who places themself at great risk, while performing acts of courage. This definition can be related in the epic poem, Beowulf, and the novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer 's Stone. In each story, both leading characters are born destined to defeat the most evil creature in their world. Beowulf is the oldest surviving epic poem in the world. “Beowulf” was written in 1000 AD, in Old English form. In this poem the main character, Beowulf, challenges an evil monster, Grendel and a dragon, to a battle to save Denmark. 1,300 years later, in 1997, the novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer 's Stone was published. Written by JK Rowling, Harry Potter became an instant success and was read by millions of people all over the world. In this novel, the main character, Harry Potter, is sent to Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry. At Hogwarts, Harry realizes that it is his destiny to kill Lord Voldemort, the most evil creature in the wizard world. Even through culture change, Harry Potter and Beowulf can be compared. They can be compared because both heroes are destined to fight evil, lead a group of people, and save the innocent lives of others.
Yet, this summer is even more unusual for Harry Potter than he’d expect. When his cousin makes fun of him, the two of them get surrounded by a group of dementors, dangerous and powerful creatures. Which decide to attack Harry and his freaked out cousin. This is strange, as they’re supposed to guard the most evil prison in the Wizarding World, Azkaban.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” is a review made by Roger Ebert on the 2011 finale of the Harry Potter movie series. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2: An Action-Packed Curtain Call” by Andrew O’hehir is also a review on the film with a different perspective/opinion. Both pieces are about the same movie, and appeal to different audiences. For example Eberts piece appeals more to those who are not quite familiar with the film but have some general idea of what is going , while Eberts piece leans towards those who are much more informed and familiar about the series, he does this by going into much more depth of the film than Ebert did. To put into perspective the distinct differences in these two review, Ebert said “There is some satisfaction in seeing loose ends tied up, lingering mysteries explained and suspicions confirmed”,while O’hehir on the other hand said that he left the movie feeling baffled and irritated with many questions.
“There was a time when no one had heard of Harry Potter,” a title of an article published in the 2007 edition of the Chicago tribune. It attempted to describe the Harry Potter phenomenon. However, if written now it would be “There was a time when no one had heard of Harry Potter and Edward Cullen” the Twilight series has sparked a phenomenon equal to the Harry Potter series. To know exactly why these fictional books have become a vast phenomenon is impossible but gaining thoughts and slight understanding of why helps. And to understand this roaring debate between the fan bases of each book.

This is evident in one main part of the story, and it creates a large obstacle in Ron’s growth during that section.

Albus Dumbledore says, “The happiest man on Earth would look into the mirror and see only himself, exactly as he is.” In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry looks into the Mirror of Erised and see his whole family with him, alive and well. Differently, Ron sees himself as the best and most-praised of all his brothers. He is Head Boy, contributes very much to winning the House Cup, and is captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

This news is great for a lot of millenials, including myself and I am sure, some of you guys too. The book itself, is based off of an play, so I am not too sure there will be an actual movie made out of it but I have a very hard time believing with all the money to be made that they won't develop a film for theaters in the coming years, similar to how Star Wars and Disney are lengethening the series. Appropriately titled "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts I&II", especially since the primary focus of the book is Harry's son, Albus Severus, named after two of the more controversial characters in the entire series, Professor Albus Dumbledore and Professor Severus Snape (Rest in Peace, Alan
There had been many aspects in the Harry Potter novels that had been taken out in the cinematic universe to put audience in awe of the magical world and its objects instead (Waetjen and Gibson 1-22).The important concepts that Ms. Joanne Rowling incorporated in the story such as political and consumerism was taken out and instead focused on the never failing magical aspects of the story(Bristow 318). The cinematic universe was able to show Harry with, what was coined by Waetjen and Gibson, tangible magical objects that the audience can soon buy in stores. This was also explained by Alexandra Bristow who said “this is particularly apparent where certain artifacts of the magical consumer world invented by Rowling become produced ‘for real’, as is the case with broomsticks, wands and some sought after sweets of the Harry Potter stories” (Bristow 319). This strategy worked well for Warner Brothers. The company officially licensed to sell the merchandising and cinematic world of Harry Potter since they now have the audience longing for the things they see on the cinematic universe - hence increasing their buying behavior (Waetjen and Gibson
The author who created the breathtaking pieces of Harry Potter has a talent of utilizing her writing as an allegory to attract consideration regarding main problems. Previously, with Harry Potter, she has commentedon dogmatism, bigotry and utilized the yearning for 'immaculate wizard blood' as a moral story for racial prevalence. With Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them, the writer takes her initially wound at screenwriting and raising the stakes. She attracts consideration regarding human numbness and the refusal to recognize creature protection in addition to other things, where an absence of data frequently means fear and miserable expulsion of equivalent rights.
J.K. Rowling explores the concept of celebrity throughout the Harry Potter novels, and implies that the idea of celebrity is ambiguous. Celebrities may not be lumped into one general set of traits, as there are different types of celebrities. To place Gilderoy Lockhart and Harry Potter into the same group would be ineffective in exploring the idea of celebrity. Nonetheless, Rowling has offered general traits that explain the nature of celebrities. From these traits, different styles of politics may be derived to show how celebrity evokes certain types of politics.
