Harry’s home: horrible Aunty Petunia, Uncle Vernon
and his cousin Dudley
Hogwarts School:
Young wizard Harry who
is left orphaned because of the evil Voldemort.
He is left as a baby to live with an his horrible Aunty Petunia, Uncle
Vernon and his cousin Dudley’s house who
are mean to him. He doesn’t know it, but he is a wizard, and can make strange
things happen--unconsciously at first and later at age 11 he goes to hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the adventure begins… Harry Potter Harry
Potter is the main character of the book. An evil wizard Lord Voldemort killed

else.Destroy Horcuxes.
.
How do he look?
In the movies he is really cute with
his chocolate brown hair, bluish-greenish eyes and round glasses.And in teenage
also he was good looking.
Strange things happen--unconsciously at first:
CHAPTER 1. CHAPTER-2.

CHAPTER-3. The
CHAPTER-4. The Letter from No Keeper of the keys.
Rubeus Hagrid come to the letter from The Hogworts School to pick up the
Harry Potter Witchcraft. to go to the Hogwarts.

The magical world has brought creativity to the real world.
Quidditch games
Soccer,
Football , Hockey . It has
included but it has imagination and have ceativity and there also Harray proves
him self.
Progression of every Faced with difficult challenges At 11 they
are the youngest wizards and witches to fight Voldemort
This was from 1st series and his journey continues to kid to
adult he learns so many things and the way he was growing his life was
also growing under the fear and advantures
Each and every challenge can refer to
the struggle teenagers over come.
Ordinary and extraordinary:
He was orphanand used to live a normal life
but though he was an extraordinary:
Harry's surrounded by mystery.
He's the one person Voldemort (one of the evilest and most powerful wizards)
could not kill, and he's the only known survivor of a "powerful, evil
curse" . Even though he was just a baby when Voldemort attack him, his
survival makes him an instant celebrity in the wizarding world. Though he grows
up ignored and mistreated by the Dursleys, he's famous in the wizarding world
as The Boy Who Lived.
The Scare was his Identity
His parents have saved him and
they have sacrificed their life out of love for harry and harry was also
missing them. The scare was having a
meaning that evil can not harm him and it will also can be read like that that
his parents have died for him so he have
to think of the fame or power that he got or he have to think the way others
are thinking.
Purity of Blood Harry was
mud-blooded but
than even he became survior and choosen person of magical world who was half
blooded but stands on a side of good .Killing of lord Voldemort signifies that
now,Harry wil be master of magic world so,the chain of master moving into evil
to good. means Voldemort to Harry and at last good wins over bad,no matter the
blood was pure or half blooded.no any other was shown as powerful as Harry or
we can say that it was only in his hand to save Hogwart.
Journey of
love and Death:
starting part of Harry
Potter series we findout that Harry's parents were died and Harry leaved alive
and that was the love of his parents ...his mother loved him so much that she
sacrificed her life for her child . Harry Potter was symbolically representative
of love.while Lord voldemort was a symbol of evil and Death.
In this journeyof love and
Death,Harry never forgot his parents always thought of them and their blessings
were always remain with him and this thoughts and feeling of love and a
emotional bondage gave him strength though the truth was they are dead but
always they live alive in his heart and memories.but at one extent he was able
to come out of his illusion that they are not alive .
He witnesses so many deaths
in passing days but he always surrounded by his friends and guide. Like
Professor Albus Dumbledore
Hermione ,Ron and Neville etc
He was putting his life in
danger for others that was out of love and though he was in side of goodness
but there was always a ultimate truth death to meet him.He can't be mortal and
he can't escape.
Hermione Granger, meaning of name:
This time, the name means
messenger, which is very befitting of our clever little wizardette because
she’s always delivering some knowledge to her less informed classmates.
As for
her last name, well, there’s some significance there too.
In Greek
mythology,
was often known as the patron saint of high magic .
Hermione is also a
character in Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale.
The character is accused
of adultery and dies before the intermission.
At the end of the play
she is brought out as a statue, and finally returns to life at the very end of
the play.
Granger :
Granger, as a noun, means a farm
steward, which is a very Muggle-type of profession indeed. A granger was also a
very common person, just like Hermione's parents. Granger is the name of a
character from the book Fahrenheit 451.
He is the leader of a group of
intellectuals known as "The Book People," whose goal is the
preservation of literature in the face of their government's efforts to burn
and destroy all books.
Hermione Granger:
Hermione has lots of bushy brown hair
and is extremely studious. She adores homework, reveres teachers and gets top grades. Born
to Muggle parents, she is teased for being a Mudblood , and feels she has more
to prove than her purebred peers.
Feministic Reading of Hermione:
Hermione was the first to spell
among them, she was
intelligent,cleaver,smart and logical.
She proved herself as one of the
best among them she was adventurous and always ready to help friends. In one of
the first lessons at Hogwarts, Hermione proven that she didn't care of anyone
she has shown her intelligence among entire class while correcting Ron's
pronunciation.
Wingardium Leviosa not Leviosar
so it goes on in every series.
while writing
author has several thought in his or her mind and J.K.Rowling has presented
Hermione as clever,brave and adventurous but than even she have not made
Hermione a
protagonist may be because of patriarchal society or she may thought women as
less powerful or intelligent than the man.or may be society will not accept this.
Ron Weasley , meaning of the name :
Ron
:
Interesting
when taken in conjunction with Arthur.
He
is the advisor to the King.
Comparisons
can be made here between Ron being an advisor to Harry on all of his choices
and adventures.
Both
Ron and Hermione listen to Harry's plan and then either agree with or tell them
why they think his idea is not a good one.
Weasley :
From J.K. Rowling's site weasels were known to
have a bad reputation, especially in Ireland, as an unfortunate animal.
And
well, the Weasleys are unfortunate because they're poor.
J.K.
Rowling said: "Ron was the only one of three major characters whose
surname never changed; he has been 'Weasley' from start to finish.
In
Britain and Ireland the weasel has a bad reputation as an unfortunate, even
malevolent, animal.
However,
since childhood I have had a great fondness for the family mustelidae; not so
much malignant as maligned, in my opinion.
"
The Weasleys and the weasel both share red hair.
The
Weasleys live near Ottery St. Catchpole, and it is interesting that a family
with weasel in their surname lives near a town that has otter in its name.
Also,
in Goblet of Fire, the group all go to Stoatshead Hill to take the Portkey to
the Triwizard Tournament.
A
stoat is another relative of the weasel family.
Ron Weasley :
Harry's other best friend
at school. Good-natured, hapless Ron is from a large, poor wizard family of
redheaded, freckled children. His father is a warmhearted bureaucrat in the Ministry of Magic.
His officious brother Percy is a student prefect at Hogwarts, twin brothers
Fred and George also attend, and in the second book, "Chamber of
Secrets," little sister Ginny enrolls at the school and has a crush on
Harry. Ron is loyal and kind but is often picked on by Draco Malfoy
and other mean schoolmates.
The journey ends
with the last part
That was Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Adults Decision
Fights for life:
From kids to adults:
Protagonist was a white child no brown or black
so still their may be thought of multiculturalism but still whites affected in
to this text.
It is J.K.Rowling's personal choice but
sometimes own identity reflect reflects more attractive than the other.
so she is white and she choiced white racial
identity as a protagonist.
