All this has added to the growing popularity of the Harry Potter brand that is everywhere today. Young readers can relate to Harry’s issues and the books create another world the readers can subconsciously ‘escape’ too.

J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series has become one of the most popular children’s series in the world over the past decade. Through these books children and young adults alike have delved into a fantastical world in which they explored the problems that their protagonist, Harry Potter, has faced. In Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, the sixth book of the Harry Potter series, Harry dealt with the challenge of proving to his peers and professors that Draco Malfoy and Severus Snape were no longer trustworthy. Even so, Harry failed to realize that the author of the notes in his Advanced Potion-Making book was corrupt. In this book, J.K. Rowling uses point of view, style, and irony to demonstrate the need for people to be more analytical

Severus Snape. The ex-potions professor at Hogwarts is viewed as a hero from most fans of Harry Potter--he died to save the wizarding world, and he was in love with Lily Potter, so he’s obviously a saint, right? Wrong! Snape was nothing more than a whiny, greedy, self-absorbed tyrant that had nothing better to do than to bully his own students.

As Helen Keller once said, “Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.” Friendship is the kindling to the fire of happiness, without it your happiness may diminish. In the novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban authored by J.K. Rowling, the protagonist Harry Potter, has a very close friend named Ron Weasly. Together, they exhibit the true meaning of rapport.

My questions for the director are how was his experience making a film involving vampires and wolves? Was he excited or nervous? Also if, he filmed other movies like this one. If he did, was it different or similar to Twilight? How is this movie unique compared to other movies he has directed? Did the director enjoy working with the actors? Did he find it weird how a vampire and a human can fall in love? Also how a wolf be in love with a human let alone the same human the vampire happened to be in love with? Was the love triangle confusing him?

Most of the time we find that stories display lots of relatable situation, advice, or cultural values imbedded within the novels; Justin Marlow has found much of these aspects through many books but the ones below stand out the most. Justin Marlow found the theme of don’t judge a book based on its cover most striking in one of Stephens kings most famous novels, Stephen Kings words hit Justin Marlow the most when he writes “Sometimes there is absolutely no difference at all between salvation and damnation” (The Green Mile 256).Throughout the year Justin Marlow has noticed how important friends can really be in certain times of need.

I am writing this essay to argue that the Harry Potter series in not based on Satanism or an occult, contrary to certain religious group’s beliefs. In fact, it is quite the opposite. As a huge fan of the books, and a life-long catholic, I can give acceptable reasoning that the books teach morality, friendship, and integrity. In my paper, I will justify that the message of the series is to not be judgmental or prejudice of a person based on their bloodlines or background. I would like the reader to recognize the themes and symbolism J.K. Rowling uses throughout her writings, as well as to identify the emphasis on love she wishes to convey to her audience.

I can recall the first time I laid my hands on a Harry Potter book. It was in second grade, and someone had suggested to me that I should really try to read the series, as it was one of the best literary works out there. I read the first five pages, before I decided that all the witchcraft and wizardry was not for me. Seven-year-old me did not know how mistaken I truly was. I never genuinely gave it a chance, and thought that the only books for me were shallow tales about life as a rich middle school girl.

In, J.K Rowling’s Philosopher’s Stone there are a number of references to ancient mythologies. The events, characters and creatures in the story are not purely fictional, most of them relate to ancient mythology embedded in different cultures. According to Joseph Campbell, American mythologist, when people think of mythology, they usually correlate it with Greek mythology. This is illustrated through examples such as the dog Fluffy, the Philosopher’s stone, magic numbers three and seven, and also its characters, like Harry Potter, Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Hermione.
