Potter died for the wizarding world much like Jesus Christ died willingly for our sins. After they died, they were resurrected by a father figure. Harry was resurrected by Albus Dumbledore in a way. After Voldemort tried to murder him a second time using the killing curse Harry went into a dream state where he met with Dumbledore who gave him a choice to live or die. Jesus and Harry are more alike than people think. It's not just because they both died for the people around them. Jesus Christ stripped
directing of the movie and acting of the movie stars. I agree with Ebert’s view on Michael Gambon’s acting. “Gambon steals the show as Dumbledore, who for a man his age certainly has some new tricks … up his sleeve…,” which relates to Dumbledore tricking his student, Harry, into going with him on the trip to the underground cave.

The Power of Free Will The journey from childhood to adulthood is filled with many challenges with the desired outcome being a successful entry into adulthood. Almost everyone can relate to learning about the significance of family, how to win the respect of peers, how to value humility, the forces of good and evil, and right and wrong, and when it’s time to rebel or follow the rules. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling, is an adventure story set in Surrey, England. It’s about
An antihero is something that a lot of people tend to think about it in a fairly one dimensional facet. They imagine an antihero as a clear-cut contrast to the main hero, but that’s just not what an antihero is. An antihero is a literary device that can be used in many different ways. Some antiheroes are just clear cut contrasts, but most are not. There are some antiheroes, mostly seen in modern movies and TV, that are the actual hero, but they are fundamentally flawed. There are other antiheroes

rightly, to preserve one’s virtue, whether or not you consciously decide so or not? Is courage not found in the very heart and soul of an individual, rather than a calculated and deliberate decision to act so? Albus Dumbledore certainly thought so.

Everyone has a poker face. Everyone has a bunbury. Everyone keeps secrets, and everyone lies. The question is, how does one tell if another is truthful about their intentions? There are many different cases in which one will lie about who they really are, but there is no telling when it is okay and if they can be forgiven. In many different stories that were read in Late British Literature this semester, we have characters that keep secrets from friends and loved ones. The simple truth is, people’s
Hello, today I will be speaking about a 40 second segment clip I have chosen in the opening scene of Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows Part 2. However, firstly I will give you a short recap up to this point.

When considering business related ethics, it is important to take into account ethics in general. Two such important sub topics within ethics are the dangers of Conformity Bias and the threats imposed by the Fundamental Attribution Error. On the “Ethics Unwrapped” site, two videos, each relating to and named after one of the previously mentioned topics are helpful in gaining knowledge about what these two topics are about and the potential ethical dilemmas they create.

Dumbledore : The Dumb one Adored When you think of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, besides his vastly long name, what comes to mind? For most, it isn’t the fact that Dumbledore is an extremely flawed character, but it should be. Firstly, the things he put Harry through are unacceptable. Secondly, what was he thinking hiring all those terrible/questionable Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers?
