This is how snakes communicate with one another. This is a language that comes with a high dislike among other wizards; especially because it 's associated with dark magic. Parseltongue is usually hereditary and it 's usually among the sinister Dark Wizards. The more complex aspect is how on earth did harry get this ability? When Voldemort himself tried to kill Harry, Voldemort unintentionally made a horcrux. A horcrux is an object in which a dark witch or wizard has attached a fragment of their soul to the object in order to become immortal. Voldemort is the only known wizard who has been able to do so. So when that fateful night in Godric 's Hollow, Where the Potters lived, Voldemort accidentally doomed himself by trying to kill Harry. This is why Harry can speak in Parseltongue. "Harry. You happen to have many qualities Salazar Slytherin prized in his hand-picked students. His own very rare gift, Parseltongue, resourcefulness, determination, a certain disregard for the rules ' he added, his moustache quivering again. "Yet it is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." ( Prisoner of
The most prominent feature of Prince Harry in the two Henry1V plays is his absolute isolation. When we first see Harry, he is a pariah and outlaw among his own people, the nobility, and a source of fear and misery for his family. He has no friends in any real sense, just pawns; unlike Hotspur, Mortimer, and even Falstaff, he has no lovers and shows no interest in sexual love. He stands alone in the world, and he stands against all the world. He is motivated only by suspicion, cruelty, pride, and greed for power. People are real to Harry only in so far as he can use them; and, ultimately, the future King can use people only when they are destroyed. His every step is toward death and destruction: the two plays begin with Harry's plot against his tavern friends, which culminates in the sacrificial expulsion of Falstaff, and end with rumours of war, the campaign against France, carried out for reasons of internal political advantage. Harry is what today is commonly described as a psychopath, and the plays demonstrate how such a man can become a successful king and defeat the world, a perfect blend of Machiavel (the immoral villain) and Machiavellian (the amoral strategist).
Tom Riddle, AKA Lord Voldemort, was a half-blood prince known to be the most powerful dark wizard of all time. Riddle came from a wealthy muggle father Tom Riddle Senior and mother witch Merope Gaunt, who died shortly after Tom was born. Tom’s father left shortly after Merope found out she was expecting and left him the heir of Slytherin. Tom was raised in a muggle orphanage and when he became of age attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was placed in the Slytherin house, the most powerful house, and was the most talented student to ever attend Hogwarts. After Hogwarts Tom went on to work at Borgin and Burkes for a brief time before he disappeared for many years.
Rowling helps us truly connect with not just the main character, but many of the secondary characters as well. She takes our simple ideas of good and evil and makes us reexamine our choices by throwing stereotypes out the window. While Voldemort, in this story, is a purely evil for evils sake character, that only truly appears within one chapter of the book, his presence is always felt by Harry and the audience. Over the course of the story, we are constantly waiting for Professor Snape to prove himself to be a dastardly villain that he appears to be (due to his harsh treatment of Harry and his general creepy appearance). However we are thrown off kilter when we discover that not only was the unthreatening Quirrell is our mysterious villain, but that Snape was slyly helping Harry throughout the entire story. Like C.S. Lewis, Rowling doesn 't condescend her audience within the story and gently leads the reader into the direction of her stories messages and morals. The downside to her narrative, however, is that she created so many new words that it can leave both a younger and an older readers head spinning. This one detail prevents this modern classic from being enjoyed by

Not a scar, no visible sign...to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very skin. Quirrell, full of hatred, greed and ambition, sharing his soul with Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason. It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good.” Harry returns with the knowledge of the wizard world, gained two very close friends, and overall became a stronger more experienced
