In the “Your a Wizard Harry “ scene from the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry clearly make it an open pane that he wants change in his life. He does this because he is really lonely. One can see this because at the beginning of the scene, Harry is in his room on his birthday with a picture of a cake and he says “Make a wish Harry.” Because he is alone on his birthday, anyone can see he is lonely and therefore probably wants a change in environment. This also shows it is an open pane to the audience and Harry, but a hidden pane to his family, because they are too self-centered in their own lives. To continue, When Hagrid mistakes Dudley for Harry, Harry immediately comes out of his room and responses by saying “ I am” when Hagrid asks who Harry would be.

    The Book Thief is an encouraging tale of a fictional girl named Liesel. Liesel was raised during a time of great pain and suffering: Nazi Germany. Many Jews, Gypsies, mentally and physically disabled, and others were killed over a ten year timespan. Scope magazine adapted the book and the movie to create a play. One of the characters, named Death, states, “I’m always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both.” True, we’re all human beings but how we picture the world and react to it is a whole different story. The extent of examples that can be found in the novel, movie, play, and even real life Nazi Germany has a very wide range including the mass murders and the “Harriet Tubman”s.…

    What I love about the The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (TLWW) is its truly beautiful and enchanting story containing a Christian allegory. The movie falters in those moments where it robs the story of its purity and truth. As a child reading the story, or having it read to you, you are taken from an ordinary world into an extraordinary one. As Lewis wrote in his essay “On Three Ways of Writing for Children” the reader of a story like TLWW “does not despise real woods because he has read of enchanted woods: the reading makes all real woods a little enchanted.”…

    I first read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when I was eight years old. It immediately became one of my favorite books. Over the next several years, I read the rest of the series many times, and I watched the entire series of movies almost as many times. However, I’ve never grown tired of re-reading and re-watching the first book and movie. The book, titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone upon initial release in 1997, was re-titled later that same year as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for its US release. J.K. Rowling’s 310 page masterpiece was published by Arthur A. Levine Books, a branch of Scholastic Inc. The movie, also titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was released in 2001 by Warner Bros.…

    In the movie ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ we see how easily barriers of not belonging can be unexpectedly destroyed and new connections and possibilities can be created. The film is about a boy called Harry Potter, the protagonist, who goes through a journey of not belonging in his original ‘world’ through to the complete contrast of being famous in another ‘magical world.’ Harry knows no better than the treatment he had always received with his family, “Up, get up! NOW... try not to burn anything!” Through the use of direct imperatives in a bitter tone, the responder is shown that there is no room for love or acceptance of any kind. Though, because Harry does not know any better, his perception on life is very narrow as all he can do is dream of a better life. The “power” that seems to be held by his old family is strongly juxtaposed to that of another character called Hagrid. When Harry is alone in the dark, making his lonesome birthday wish, there is a great “Bang” at the door and in comes the seemingly scary giant. When Uncle Vernon comes aiming a gun, Hagrid bends the tip of the gun and says, “Dry up Dursely you great prune.” Through the use of the metaphor of calling him a ‘great prune,’ the responder can see a strong shift in power from that of the family to the overwhelming power and acceptance now being presented from Hagrid. This shift in power is also portrayed through the combination of weather, music and camera angles which expose the underlying suspenseful tone. With the violent waves and storm outside, the dangerously suspenseful music along with the low camera angles, Hagrid is given an overriding sense of power which has been stripped from the Uncle. Hagrid represents Harry’s escape from this world he never belonged in and the new connection to a world full of endless possibilities.…
