House-elves are magical creatures found throughout the Harry Potter series (1997-2007). They serve witches and wizards and must do everything that their Masters command unless they are freed by being presented with an item of clothing. The first mention of House-elves appears in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (1998) with the introduction of Dobby and therefore the concept and practicalities of House-elves’ servitude.

First Political Style in “Harry Potter” Tony Kraus POLI:1300:0AAA October 6, 2015 Fascism is very prevalent in the the world that J.K. Rowling creates in the Harry Potter series. The main views that support the Fascist ideology in the book is about muggles and the superiority of the wizards that is expressed throughout the book by a lot of the elites that are presented.

Gothic literature has had an interesting and important impact in the 20th and 21st centuries. The Woman in Black is an older example of gothic literature.

way they react. In fact, people are interested in monsters, and their desires create them. The essay “Monster Culture” by Jeffery Cohen analyzes cultures through the monsters from which they rise. In this essay I will argue that Voldermort from Harry Potter series, Norman Bates from Psycho the movie, and the German Dictator Adolf Hitler who killed millions of people support Cohen’s theses that the monster always escapes, the monster is the Harbinger of Category Crisis, and the monster Dwells at the
At the beginning of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997) Harry lives with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and their child, Dudley Dursley. He is forced to sleep in a cupboard under the stairs, which acts both as a bedroom and a punishment chamber. The Dursleys fear Harry’s magical abilities so they try and suppress them as much as possible by controlling everything Harry does.

Grossmann makes it more perceives by using data such as rankings and movies/books income to support his argument. In the text he shows the reader how the fantasy franchise is selling more than science fictions as seen in the text: “(…) Harry potter and the Chamber of Secrets cleared $88 million at the U.S. box office.
