long texts one has never time for. In this occasion we have chosen to see the complete Harry Potter film series, the whole eight movies in a row and in just five days. My partner had previously stopped at number four (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), finding details hard to remember from one film to the other, and I at number five (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix), disappointed with the hurried pace and the low emotional intensity (particularly in relation to Sirius Black’s fate).

J.K. Rowling has written many strong female characters. I feel as though they all teach us their own lessons. My favorite ones I learned were from Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, and Molly Weasley. Hermione Granger is very important to young girls in how they develop and grow into women. It’s hard for girls to have such a great role model, and one that thrives to be the smartest and has a thirst for knowledge is imperative.

Jayme Vallance ENG 282 Dr. Treftz Short Paper #2 The Power of Love and Harry Potter The power of love in Harry Potter is unlike any other. So much so that it is an overwhelmingly significant and recurring theme throughout the entire series. From the self-sacrificial love of Lily Potter to the loving mother Molly Weasley to the unrequited love of Severus Snape. There is also the misunderstanding, or the absence, of love; which is equally as important in the novels. Especially since it was

Background/ Introduction: Harry Potter was born into the magical world. He came from a half-blood family; which means that, in his case, Harry’s father, James Potter, came from a pure magic family and Harry’s mother, Lily Potter, came from a non-magic (muggle) family.
