Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

One of the scariest things we learn in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is this: Even wizard celebrities can't escape the tabloids. During year four at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter, famous for having defeated the evil Lord Voldemort while only a baby. Now one of the challenges for him this year is the pesky Daily Prophet reporter Rita Skeeter, whose goal is to dig for dirt at Hogwarts. The same can be said for J.K. Rowling. With Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the author gives her characters complex new personalities/dimensions, even exploring the chamber of secrets known as wizard puberty, without losing the “it factor”, that makes Potter fans long to ditch the Muggle

    Guillermo del Toro’s 2006 film Pan’s Labyrinth is about a little girl, Ofelia, who moves with her mother to live with her new stepfather, Captain Vidal. Ofelia comes to learn that she is princess of the Underworld and, with the help from faeries, must complete magical tasks in order to escape Earth and her cruel stepfather and return to her throne in the mystical world (Pan’s Labyrinth). Del Toro’s main purpose of this film is to parallel the monsters and tasks Ofelia must overcome to fascist 1940s Spain (Kermode). However, with deeper analysis, the monsters may also represent universal societal issues such as mistreatment of the poor by the wealthy, the premature death of childhood innocence and wonder, and abuse.

    One of the ideas behind Borge’s Garden of the forking paths is that God allows people to choose. They are free to make their own decisions and forge their own path, but it is one’s path which defines their character. Decisions explain one’s motivation and determination to act on those decisions which by definition means character. In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, by J.K. Rowling, characters as Neville, Hermione, Professor Quirrell and Harry Potter defend the idea that people’s choices define their character.…

    In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, the main theme is that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. This metaphor of not killing mockingbird is clearly portrayed throughout the course of this novel. This theme is so important to the plot of this novel that the author decided to entitle the book after this very metaphor. Mockingbirds are birds that do not do anything wrong and they just give us music. Atticus is the main character in the novel that really stressed why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. Mockingbirds are just a simple metaphor for the characters in this book who are killed, such as Mr. Raymond and Tom Robinson.…

    Power! Power, defined as the ability to control or influence multiple people. In The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R Tolkien, Frodo, the main character in the book, and the Fellowship are forced together in a need to protect the Ring of Power so that they can, ironically, destroy the very thing they are protecting. J.R.R. Tolkien suggests, through his creation of Middle Earth, that power is not all good. These unfortunate people of Middle Earth are encouraged to fight the evil Orcs on their way to the home of the Orcs, Mordor. This is showing that the power of the Ring causes big changes in everybody. The power of the Ring has a very strong pull to take it, forces its user to protect it, and it changes priorities and relationships of those who are in control of the Ring.…
