broom at us. Daniel and I decided we could play so Trenton stared asking questions. " Who is my favorite character in Harry Potter?" Trenton asked me. " I don’t know," I answered," Is it Harry?" Trenton thought for a second, then said " No, it's Ron Weasley." He then swatted the broom handle at me instead of the brush side. I was on the top of the bunk bed and I tried to stay away from it as much as I could. I backed in the corner where he couldn’t reach me. He stepped up on the bottom bunk and

While Charles Horton Cooley has an excellent point with how primary and secondary groups work within one’s life, they can be very different from person to person. For example, if one were to take each house in Harry Potter, he would find that each house has a different feel for its students. Using the Harry with the Gryffindor house and Draco Malfoy with the Slytherin house, two interpretations of Cooley’s groups are presented. Draco has a family with whom he is very close. This is demonstrated when

It has been said that astronomy is unique among branches of magic in that we can work with and learn from muggles as much as our fellow wizards. As a muggleborn, coming to Hogwarts with something recognizable on the schedule, astronomy, has been nice in a world of new and un recognizable things, however exciting they may be. I distinctly remember getting a telescope for Christmas when I was eight years old, and spent hours talking to my dad and studying the sky. The sky does not change depending

"You need to be prepared, and you need to know what you're up against!" I watched Professor Moody intently has he finished his brief lecture and introduction. It did slip by me that he seemed to spit certain words such as Ministry, and Azkaban. Defense Against the Dark Arts, a subject I was always keen to learn. Not because I was 'evil' or a Slytherin or some other stereotypical nonsense—I'm a proud Ravenclaw; but because it's actually interesting. Well, it was with Professor Lupin. Beginning our

As Harry lowered himself into the pitch black hole of the trapdoor as black as a cave hanging only by his fingertips, there was a shudder of the ground as one of the paws of the Fluffy hit the ground. He fearfully told me ‘Don’t follow if anything happens to me. Send word to Dumbledore, okay?’ ‘Okay’ I said in dismay. ‘Hopefully I’ll see you soon’ Harry said As he said those last words to me, I was wishing inside that I went with him because he is special and then I would not be as anxious as

I have been put into Slytherin as my Harry Potter house. This house suits me because it has some characteristics that I do as a person. However, I do not think that it is the best house for me. They are viewed as clever and skilled at their craft. The mascot for Slytherin is the Serpent because of the snake’s power. The element of Slytherin is water. Overall, I am very excited to be in the Slytherin house. Some of the characteristics I have with my house are resourcefulness and ambition.

When Harry arrives at Hogwarts, he and the other first-years follow Hagrid into a giant castle. Harry and the other first years meet a strict Hogwarts teacher who tells them that they will be sorted into houses. These houses, she said, will be like your family-you will earn points for your house by triumphing, as lose points for trouble-making. They are told that they will be sorted into the houses depending on how well they do on a test. They are left to wait in silence. Suddenly a bunch of ghosts

Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” J.K. Rowling augments this assertion in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, a novel that follows Harry Potter and his best friends, Hermione and Ron, through their third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Rowling represents fear through dementors, dark creatures that feed on human happiness to cause depression and despair, which have been placed at the entrances of Hogwarts to

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is comprised of a vast number of cultures that contain even more subcultures. At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Gryffindor House, one of the four subculture houses, is made up of a diverse group of wizards who still seem to share the same values and beliefs. The analysis of the Gryffindor House through the Anthropological Pentad allows for one to completely understand the depth of the subculture. The wizards and witches of the Gryffindor House
