    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Novel Guide

    3. The title of this book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, is very significant to the overall plot of the book, because in the book, the Order of the Phoenix is a group of people that are close to the main character, Harry, that oppose and are dedicated to stopping Voldemort, the main antagonist. The characters that are involved with the Order of the Phoenix include its leader Albus Dumbledore (the headmaster of Hogwarts and an ally and friend of Harry’s), Sirius Black (Harry’s godfather), Remus Lupin (a former Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts and Sirius’s best friend), Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody (a former Auror who was impersonated by a criminal the year before as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher), and Nymphadora Tonks (a young, friendly Auror that is a good ally to Harry), Severus Snape (Harry’s Potions teacher), and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley (Harry’s best friend’s parents).

    Harry Potter: Character Development

    The character of Harry Potter has had an interesting effect on the students character development, none more so than that of his closest friends Ron and Hermione, but he has also effected Neville’s character development, but not as much as the aforementioned characters. Readers familiar with the main characters in the Harry Potter series will know that Ron is not the brightest character but has redeeming features such as his loyalty to Harry and his courageousness at times, whereas, Hermione is the bright and rational character, again, with a loyalty to Harry. Neville on the other hand is a mixture of Ron and Hermione, in the sense the he has the intelligence of Hermione and the courageousness of Ron, but is also clumsy and often easily intimidated, these features have been shown through this monumental book and movie series. But through all this, Harry has played a major part in how their character has developed over the first 3 books, ‘Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone’, ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’ and finally ‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’ but also into the final parts of the series, in the first movie, we see how these characters are first portrayed and how harry has influenced their development…

    The Hunger Games Book Review

    Suzanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games” is more than just a best seller. It is a vortex into a futuristic United States that offers morals and themes that can relate to today’s society. Collins contrasts the poverty-stricken, subservient world of main character, Katniss, with the affluence and power of the people of the governing Capitol. Collins descends into the abuses of government control, and explores the importance and hope of individuality in a totalitarian society. Katniss is a survivor, able to hunt to keep her family from starving. However, she is thrust into a world where she is hunted and must kill her peers to survive yet struggles to remain the girl she was in the past. Collins strings together the actions of the characters to show the chaos that overpowering government can cause in her breathtaking novel.…

    Shakespeare

    Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has one advantage over so many other blockbusters: it already knows that it's the first in a series, so it doesn't have to become a self-contained hit movie before its sequels can receive the green light. This means it deliberately takes its time setting up the characters and the scenario before, like the book, pulling in a quest-cum-whodunit plot to provide a crescendo to climax. It’s ending with a twist at the hands of Severus Snape incriminating the not so innocent character of Professor Quirrell as Voldemorts insight to this bewitching world of magic.…

When I first started reading this book I always liked thinking who would have been plotting this idea and it was kind of hard trying to find out who was helping them as in the book, there is only a name saying Guest not any other name and the person would only reply when it was night where Guest was sending it to.…

    The day i came upon with The Little prince was anything but by chance.i was strolling slowly in a bookstore when i found The Little Pricess lying on the best---seller bookshelves. i flicked casually though as the drawing of a little boy with golden hair, a scarf and a lovable laugh caught my attention. Not knowing why, i have a strong impulse to buy this book, deciding to have a quick read. So i bought immediately, then read it at a quite and pleasant corner in a park. There was such a depth of attraction after a few paragraphs that i have read. I knew this was a book i had to own, for i have fallen in love with it deeply.…
