Analysis of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
Essay will attempt to analyse the different trailer conventions, which
make the trailer 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' a success.
The outlined conventions include different scenes, the music and what
affect the have on the viewers. This essay will explain the genre of
the film and who their target audiences are.
The opening scene starts off with Warner Bros Pictures logo in front
of a cluster of clouds, this would be one of the unique selling
points, and Warner Bros Pictures are incredibly famous all over the
world. The scene is done in slow motion at the start and then speeds
up towards the end. Bright colors are used for this logo, bright
yellow, sky blue and the logo is outlined in black to make it stand
out.
The next scene you see Professor Servens Snape (played by Alan
Rickman, who is a very famous actor, this would make the fans of Alan
Rickman come to watch the film). He makes a dramatic entrance in to a
class room where Harry Potter (who is another unique selling point and
played by Daniel Radcliffe) and his other class mates are studying;
Snape with his wand closes the blinds on the windows and goes to the
front of the class and pulls down what looks like a over-head
projector screen, at this point the camera moves slightly closer to
his face as he says "turn to page 304", the clothes which Professor
Snape wears and the looks he look on his face give the impression that
he is really creepy , when he walks in the class goes quiet this tells
us that he is a strict and frightening teacher. After this a dark
purplely black gathering of clouds...

mystery and adventure themes. Seeing the trailer would be more
effective then looking at a poster because then you will get to see
that there is some sort of comedy in with it as well as mystery and
adventure whereas if you saw the poster it would appeal to those who
are interested in scary films and to those who read Harry potter books
only because a poster can't really talk for itself and tell you that
here are comedy scenes in the film too. The trailer would most likely
to be scene before films whose target audiences are 10+, and in
between the breaks of TV programs which children are most likely to
watch for example after 3:30 (after school) onwards until about 7:00.
Taken as a whole this trailer is one of the best trailers, it leave a
great impact on you, wanting to go and watch the film.

"Burn em' to ashes, then burn the ashes",imagine a fireman saying these words, fireman that burn things to ashes instead of putting the ashes out; that use flame throwers instead of water hoses. In the futuristic distopian society created by Ray Bradbury in the book Fahrenheit 451 is the harsh reality that main character Montag must go through with his drug addicted wife, a retired English Professor named Faber, and a very intelligent fire captain named cap. Beatty, as well as a teenage girl named Clarise that is the symbol of purity. .
Analysis of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Imagine living in a world where you are not in control of your own thoughts. Imagine living in a world in which all the great thinkers of the past have been blurred from existence. Imagine living in a world where life no longer involves beauty, but instead a controlled system that the government is capable of manipulating.

Everyone has the ability to look at where the world is today and picture what the future might hold. That’s exactly what Huxley, Orwell and Bradbury did in their futuristic novels, though exaggerating quite a bit. In Huxley’s novel Brave New World, he depicts a society where people are decanted from bottles instead of being born from mothers. George Orwell gives us a glimpse at a world where everything is regulated, even sex, in his novel 1984. Bradbury foresaw the future in the most accurate way in his novel Fahrenheit 451; writing about a future without literature to guard the people from negative feelings, just as our college campuses in America are doing by adding trigger warnings to books with possible offensive content.
The saga continues when Kutniss Everdeen, the “Mockingjay,” and District 13 wager war against the autocratic Capitol.
According to Ray Bradbury, four hundred fifty-one degrees is the temperature at which books burn, thus giving the inspiration for his novel’s title, Fahrenheit 451. In it, fireman Guy Montag, a fireman, wrestles with social norms and his own developing beliefs to uncover truth, emotion, and purpose. Through his endeavor, Montag must face robotic animals, ruthless coworkers, and treachery from his own wife, all with a considerably smaller team on his side. As the journey progresses, readers see new sides to Montag, unveil connections between two supporting characters, and must predict the outcomes of further years.
The Triwizard Tournament was held in Hoggwarts. This game amid the three biggest European magic schools was initiated about seven hundred years ago. One person should be assigned by one college and the Goblet of Fire used to designate three students for this competition. Three guys would compete in three categories of magic. The game was so serious that it stipulated the minimum age and the health conditions of the contestants.
The novel Makes Me Wanna Holler discusses the problems of the black Americans from an insider’s prospective. When I say black Americans, I mean from the cultural issues, fatherhood, family, and how blacks working class families are anything, but lazy. Nathan recalls his troubled childhood, rehabilitation while in prison, and his success with the Washington Post. The novel helped me understand the mindset of black males and why some choose to be affiliated with gangs. Additionally, I learned that bouncing back from a hardship time help you regain strength because Nathan went threw a lot. However, I did not relate to the novel, but I understood the concept of it. The title of this book speaks out loud about the inner struggle that he encounter.
As audiences continue to watch a film based off of a novel, they may find changes in scenes that variate from the novel . The changes being made can be effective, or ineffective depending on the preference of the audience. In The Hobbit written by J.R.R. Tolkien and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey directed by Peter Jackson, a hobbit and a group of dwarves go on a journey in seek of their lost fortunes. Throughout their way, they run into some complications and never seem to avoid trouble. In the film, Peter Jackson makes a change based off of the chapter “Roast Mutton” In “ Roast Mutton”, Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, tries to take food from a troll, when he gets causing the whole group to rush in one by one wondering where everyone was getting
Ever since J.K. Rowling first introduced Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in 1997, children and adults have read and loved the series. It has gained such popularity that all of the books have been made into major motion pictures, and a Harry Potter attraction has been opened in Universal Studios, Florida. Though the readers love Rowling’s intricate and exciting story lines, many controversies have arisen from these stories, not only in the United States, but also in various countries around the world. Perhaps the biggest controversy is the religious implications perceived by some critics. Although these critics believe that the series promotes paganism and encourages evil actions, these theories should not be taken so seriously.
Bernadette Devlin, an influential political activist, once remarked, “To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.” In stating this, Devlin explores a much deeper truth in that one must be willing to sacrifice everything in order to achieve the greater goal. This statement reigns true in both life and literature. Often times, characters lose their family, friends or wealth in the process of achieving their ultimate goals. In the end, however, one must ask themselves if what they are giving up is really worth losing. For example, in the Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, the main character, Katniss Everdeen, experiences the loss of family and friends in the pursuit of taking down President Snow and the Capitol. Without her
Many people think that reading more can help them to think and develop before writing something. Others might think that they don’t need to read and or write that it can really help them to brainstorm things a lot quicker and to develop their own ideas immediately (right away). The author’s purpose of Stephen King’s essay, Reading to Write, is to understand the concepts, strategies and understandings of how to always read first and then start something. The importance of this essay is to understand and comprehend our reading and writing skills by brainstorming our ideas and thoughts a lot quicker. In other words, we must always try to read first before we can brainstorm some ideas and to think before we write something. There are many reasons why I chose Stephen King’s essay, Reading to Write, by many ways that reading can help you to comprehend, writing, can help you to evaluate and summarize things after reading a passage, if you read, it can help you to write things better and as you read, it can help you to think and evaluate of what to write about.
In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, there are a few characters that cannot quite take care of themselves. These characters then must be protected by others. This point is superbly exemplified by the actions towards the protection of Buckbeak the hippogriff by Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. He was wrongly accused and sentenced to death because of misunderstandings.
One of the most read series in all literature is Harry Potter. The seven-book succession has sold over 400 million copies and has been translated into over sixty languages. What is it that makes this series so wildly famous? What is it about the boy who lived that makes frenzied readers flock to their local bookstore at midnight on the day of the release to buy the latest installment? How is a story set in a world that doesn’t exist about wizards, witches, magic, and mystical creatures so popular? The series has been able to earn its spot on the New York Times Bestseller list and has granted author J.K. Rowling multiple awards because it is relatable. It is not the setting or the events in the plot of the story that we relate to. We relate to what Harry, his friends, mentors, teachers, caretakers, and even enemies feel. Harry is in a lot of ways exactly like us. He represents some of the good characteristics that all of us have as well as the bad. The series as a whole, is about one thing that is stressed over and over again in the novels, love. The Harry Potter series is one of the most read sequences of novels because the central theme is love and self-sacrifice, and readers are looking for a novel that shows them just that.
