While J. K. Rowling has described herself as a Christian many times, she has often emphasized that she did not write the books with the purpose to promote her faith. “I did not set out to convert anyone to Christianity. I wasn’t trying to do what C. S. Lewis did. It is perfectly possible to live a very moral life without a belief in God, and I think it’s perfectly possible to live a life peppered with ill-doing and believe in God” (Gibbs, 2007).

HIERARCHY OF THE ACCEPTED: THE CREATURE DILEMMA Magical creatures within wizarding society are treated with displays of discrimination rather than acceptance, often without a chance to prove themselves or their merit in any sense of the Foucaultian terms described. Although these creatures are othered by Wizards, there is a consistent theme among those creatures more accepted into wizarding institutions. This condenses into a hierarchy of allotted rank, which can be observed first and foremost by a class of half-humans throughout the series. One of the three examples of half-humans I will use as an example is Remus Lupin. Lupin, a werewolf bitten and converted at a young age by Fenrir Greyback (HBP, 335), started life as a human with magical
In the fantasy-mystery novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K Rowling, the characters don’t seem that true to life, due to the fact that they use magic. First, there personality is true-to-life at times, Harry Potter, for instance, has a kind-hearted, shy personality and I can see myself meeting someone like him, however some characters, like Voldemort, I cannot see myself meeting with a flat nose, and evil intentions. Even though most of the characters use magic they all have human-like personalities. Harry states, “Give that here, Malfoy,” said Harry quietly. Everyone stopped talking to watch.
Harry is a master of virtue according to everything from scripture to business ethics. The focus of harry becomes many symposia such as Nimbus and Prophecy and an expected session topic at scholarly gatherings such as The International Conference on the fantastic in the Arts and Meetings of the pop culture Association. While newspaper and magazine critics tented to focus on the social aspects of the Potter phenomenon scholars looked as well as literary person’s ancestors and social background, structures and theme. Rowling’s books are both praised and criticized as fairy tale, which deals with someone’s formative years and schooldays series with their author justly laude for her gift at creating charming details that sweeps readers through a range of literary

Anglo-Saxon: In the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, J.K Rowling utilizes several elements from Anglo-Saxon period to reflect heroic code. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are three main characters who are chosen by sorting hand to Gryffindor house which emphasises the traits of courage. First, J.K Rowling states courage as a necessary characteristic for heroes in Anglo-saxon period. To learn from Beowulf’s courage to kill nine sea monsters, author shows Harry and Ron’s bravery when they protect Hermione from giant troll in the girl’s bathroom (Rowling, 141).

Chapter: 3 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second novel in the Harry Potter arrangement, which is composed by J. K. Rowling. The story rotates around Harry 's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Around the begin of the term an arrangement of messages on the dividers of the school 's passages begin showing up with message of caution that the "Load of Secrets" has been opened and that the "beneficiary of Slytherin" would execute all understudies who are from Muggle or are not-from immaculate Magic families.

CONCLUSION The widely read Harry Potter series have left many children and adults discussing the application of Harry’s adventures to everyday life. Through these discussions, some have concluded that Harry Potter should not be read by those of the Christian tradition. These conclusions have been drawn as both laypeople and clerics focus on the use of magic within the stories. However, upon examining the series for relevant and applicable theologies and philosophies, several developmental tasks can be presented.
Not only had Harry made many friends, but he was also chosen to be the seeker for the Gryfindoor quidich team. Harry was chosen to be a part of the team after he flew through the air to catch a ball that was stolen by Malfoy. Throughout the year, Harry only had trouble with one other student, Draco Malfoy. From the first time Harry met Malfoy, he knew that he would bring trouble.
I have chosen: Harry Potter from, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," by J.K Rowling. I chose Harry because he shows many interesting qualities such as surviving a killing curse, although he shows many other interesting qualities I'll be explaining just a few in my three following paragraphs. In my opinion, J.K Rowling's, "Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone,' is aimed at kids because Harry is just a boy, so kids who read can relate and use him as a role model. When Harry was just the age of one, the dark lord known as Voldemort broke into his and his parents home in Godric's Hollow, killing Harry's parents with the killing curse, when he came across Harry, with the same curse as he killed his parents with, Voldemort
Before heading to Hogwarts for his second year, Harry finds an anxious house-elf in his room. The elf warns him that Hogwarts is not safe for Harry. Harry ignored the warning and despite the elf’s best efforts to stop him, arrives at Hogwarts with the help of his friend Ron.

When a spell backfired, Ron is left with a broken wand for the remainder of the school year.
