If
you're a nerd like I am, you're probably constantly reading
and looking for a lot of good books to read. My friend, this
is your book. Combining fantasy elements with a storyline that
you can actually follow, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
is the beginning of a wildly popular series.
Harry's story begins at Number Four, Privet Drive. He is
staying with his aunt, Petunia, his uncle, Vernon, and the kid
who is the new definition of the word "obese", Dudley. Harry
hates it there- and they hate him being there. However,
Harry's life changes on his 11th birthday, when he receives a
letter stating that he has been accepted into Hogwart's School
of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Unfortunately for Harry, Aunt and
Uncle refuse to let him go... that is, until Hagrid bursts
into their house and takes harry with him. Silver table lamps.
As the story progresses, Harry gets a lot of new friends,
including Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and a few enemies,
like the nasty Potions teacher, Severus Snape. From the
beginning to the end, including a harrowing scene with Harry,
Lord Voldemort, and the Stone, J.K. Rowling weaves a terrific
tale. This is my favorite series and I will be sure to buy
them all. J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
effectively portrays supernatural elements and their ability
to create the adventurous plot in her mystical story of a
heroic young boy. The entire novel encompasses supernatural
items that enhance Harry Potter's unexpected ventures.
Supernatural is introduced in the opening of the book with
Harry's unusual lightning bolt scar in his forehead silver
lamps. This shows the audience that, though Harry seems like a
neglected, poor child, he is different than other children. It
reveals everything unique and astonishing about him and also
foreshadows the revelation of his wizardry. Harry's scar shows
his sensitivity and his connection to his lost past. The scar
is also an allusion to Odysseus's scar in Homer's poem the
Odyssey. When Harry first arrives at Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry, he grabs the attention of Professor
McGonagall by his performance at flying lessons. Because of
this incident, Harry joins the Quidditch team, on which he
breaks many records and wins heroism. Rowling incorporates a
supernatural element that appeals to childlike instincts in
her readers. This form of fun and games upholds silver lamps
at lamps plus the story's lighter side. It stresses the
importance of teamwork and use of magical powers unselfishly,
unlike the evil Voldemort. When Harry looks into the Mirror of
Erised, he is forced to examine himself and his desires for
the first time. This supernatural element exposes Harry's
genuine character. He wishes to see his parents alive and to
capture the stone for the common good. The mirror teaches
Harry that people are shaped by their desires. Throughout the
exciting novel, Harry's life is drastically changed as he
leaves his average home and enters a new world of
supernatural. He is taught much about life and relationships
with the aid of supernatural elements. Rowling's vast lamps,
incorporation of the supernatural into Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer's Stone perfects the book's course and hits the
target. |
