magic with reality as a genre of writing keeping the harry potter

Harry Potter: Mythic Hero Proportions:
• This thesis argues that Harry Potter, the main character in the series of novels
written by J.K. Rowling, is a mythic hero. A character in literature deemed a
hero can only be a mythic hero by completing a series of events both
predetermined and determined by the hero. Joseph Campbell’s work A Hero
With a Thousand Faces outlines these qualities a character must possess and
the events he must complete in his life called the initiation, the departure,
and the return of the hero. Using Campbell’s seminal work as a critical
perspective, here the protagonist of the Harry Potter novels as a mythic hero.
Starting life with nothing, he overcomes his circumstances while remaining
virtuous and strong. His strength and virtue allow him to rid the wizarding
world of evil, thus solidifying his status of a mythic hero.

The character study of Severus Snape in J.K. Rowling’s
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
• In this article, the researcher would like to analyse the character of Serverus
Snape, one of the major supporting character as well as focus on his character
build and development. This article mainly discuss about Snape as a round
character with many perspective. Moreover, he applied formalistic approach
along with library research methodology of the qualitative research to study the
element of literary work. At the end it shows Serverus Snape is a round character
with major personality traits and the story reveals his hidden personality which
changes his perception as an antagonistic character into a helpful supporting
character

The Librarian in Rowling’s Harry Potter series:
• In this article, the researcher discusses Hermione Granger’s skills as a librarian
and researcher which lead to the defeat of Lord Voldemort. In each series she
provides necessary information for the solving mystery. She proves to be the only
character who can use books effectively without putting herself or others in
danger. Hermione begins the series as a child who loves the library, but does not
always know how to use it effectively. In The Deathly Hallows Hermione acts as
the librarian for the search for the Deathly Hallows, and the subsequent
destruction of Lord Voldemort by not only using a library effectively, but creating
her own library as well as locating needed information outside a library.

Death, the Last Enemy: Grief and Loss in the Harry
Potter Series:
• Death is a central part of Harry Potter’s story and appears in many ways
across the seven books. Two different reactions to death’ which occur in the
years preceding the incidents in the Philosopher’s Stone, precipitate the
story itself. The first is Lord Voldemort’s fear of death and preoccupation to
overcome it, here morality is linked with weakness and living forever is the
ultimate form of power. The second is Lily Potter’s sacrifice of herself to
save Harry’s life, where her life and love then form a shield to protect Harry,
here death is accepted, not battled with and carries power that goes
beyond dying. In a sense, these are two diametrically opposite idea about
death, which find fruition in the final volumes in the motifs of Horcruxes
and Hallows.

Artifact Analysis: Harry Potter in the Deathly Hallows:
• This artifact analysis will be the analyzation of the 7th Harry Potter book in
particular, and its corresponding movies, not as a complete metaphorical
representation of the bible, but in its parallels to the narratives surrounding
the Christian Messiah, Jesus Christ. As such, the parallels between Harry
Potter and Christianity since the illustration of Harry Potter as a
representation as a Messiah, in the respect that Harry is required to die in
order to save all mankind from Voldemort, who personifies sin. Voldemort,
is not a particular figure in the bible, but the personification of sin and evil.

Harry potter through the Focus of Feminist Literary
Theory: Examples of (Un) Founded criticism:
• Over all Krunoslav MIKULAN write about how feminist literary theory appropriate here. The novels
analyzation can be read from multiple perspectives and that Rowling succeeds in making the reader aware
of the problems of male- female relations by positioning the characters on opposite sides with regard to
emotional relations, relations towards, different people and the family and towards society in general, as
well as through convincing and impressionable characterization.
• He says that if Rowling attempted to divide her attention between men and women mathematically this
would reflect on the general construction of the novel and would lead to a considerable sense of
artificiality.
• His point of view, we are unable to each an irrefutable conclusion on gender equality in Rowling's novel. It
would appear that the author does not intend to promote sexual equality, nor does she attempt to
perpetuate permanently established norms and customs.
• However Rowling's intentions are not to erase the difference. Rather she places them at the opposite ends
of an imagined circle, on an equidistant trajectory, so that never nullify each other.

Magically empathetic: an investigation of theory of
mind and empathy in the Harry Potter series.
• In this article Lindsey Layman combines theory of mind and simulation theory with an analysis of empathy
in the Harry Potter series has a positive influence on readers 'empathetic skills.'
• Here defined as "the experience of understanding another person's condition from their perspective,"
empathy is he motivation behind many pro- social behavior and values, making it an important focus of
investigation.
• In this article he connect a textual analysis of the harry potter series using the perspective of theory of
mind and simulation theory as a guide. After analyzing a range of situation in which harry and his friends
respond empathetically to acts of discrimination and he argue that empathy in the series is communicated
to readers primarily through Harry.
• He believe it is Dumbledore who best explains what we must do assure that our own society is protected
from these same injustice: "It [is] important [...] to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only them
could evil be kept at bay, through never quite eradicated" ( Harry Potter and the Half - Blood prince, pp.
644- 645).
