Recommended: Critical reviewharry potter book

The Harry Potter series captures my attention because they contain action and mystery. Of the Harry Potter series my three favorite books so far are; Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, and Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix. These three books contain the most action packed adventures, that I am now captivated by.

The first book that caught my attention was Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets. In this book Harry fought a giant snake. The snake, which was controlled by Lord Voldemort, attacked Harry with rigorous speed through the chamber. Just as Harry thought he was going to die, Fawkes , Dumbledore's pet, came flying in. He flew towards the snakes eyes and tore them from the snakes head."...Harry …show more content…

In this book Harry, Ron, and Hermione(Harry's friend) went to the Ministry of Magic to find the prophecy that Voldemort wanted for himself.This made me think, bad guy versus good guy; who will win. I had to read further. So they found the door that the prophecy was hidden behind. When they walked in, they realized that they were in a room, a plain black room. They found another door, so they walked through it which lead to another room. They then realized that it was like a maze, so they walked through a couple more rooms. Just as they thought they would not be able to find it, they walked into the room where the prophecy was held. They found Harry's prophecy. They were going to turn around and walk out, but then Voldemort's helpers were standing in the back of them. They tried to take the prophecy from Harry by trying to kill them all. Harry tried to fight back, but fell. The prophecy shattered on the floor into pieces that could not be fixed. "...the small spun-glass ball dropped from his pocket and before either of them could catch it, one of Neville's floundering feet kicked it. I flew some ten feet to their right and smashed on the step beneath them." This made me react in a worried way, because I did not know what was going to happen next; however, the worry also heightened my

  • Summer Reading

    Over the course of this summer I read four books. The books I read were Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J K Rowling, The Giver by Lois Lowry, Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix, and Number the Stars by Lois Lowry again.     Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J K Rowling was the first book I read this summer and I really liked it. I decided to read the 5th Harry Potter book because I had it and I never really got a chance to read it. The book begins were it had left you of in the 4th book when Harry is just about to enter his 5th year at Hogwarts. He still lives with his aunt and uncle whom he hates because they are mean and evil to him. The letters from his friends are very dull and they have nothing to say, which confuses him and makes him furious. He is also mad because he’s still stuck with the Dursleys all summer long. The story goes with his adventures and challenges throughout his 5th year. The genre is fantasy complete with magic. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes the Harry Potter books. I would also recommend that if you have never read any of the previous books you start from the beginning. I can’t wait ‘till the next book comes out!

    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is an excellent book. Out of ten stars I would rate this one an eight because it was too short.

Most readers can agree that they both have many grand similarities in their storylines.

    The focus of this paper will be on a comparison of The Divine Comedy and of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, a book written and released by J.K. Rowling in the year 2007. It will include an analysis among the journey of Dante in Hell and Harry through his life. Through this paper I would like to bring to light of the fact that although, the Divine Comedy is from centuries ago the narrative is everlasting. The Divine Comedy is remarkable, many of the modern narratives include a direct or indirect reference to the Divine Comedy itself.

  • The Importance Of Myself In Literature

    Some people can argue about the quality of the books I have read for my favorite genres are detectives and novels. Nevertheless, not all of the books that I have read were pulp fiction. In the archive of the works that I have enjoyed reading can be placed manuscripts of some remarkable writers such as A. Pushkin, F. Dostoevsky, V. Bykaw, and many others. However, my favorite book of all times is Harry Potter fantasy novel, more precisely, the series of novels about Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling. These novels turned my perception about literature, since thanks to them, reading became one of my beloved interests. Reading Harry Potter series makes a person to look at one’s life from a different angle. For instance, by influence of these books, I have changed my understanding of friendship as I realized that true friends are rare and I need to appreciate people around me. Therefore, this is one of the reasons for me to encourage my kids in a future to read these bestsellers. In that event, as a reader, I am waiting from books, articles, and other reading materials, to be as influential for me as were Harry Potter
