Paragraph about how Harry Potter's glasses are represented throughout the movie:

Harry Potter's glasses are one of the most visible things about his appearance in the movies. He is blind without them. One way his glasses are represented throughout the movie is his smart abilities. Although he may not be a crazy study-person like Hermione Granger, he is undeniably smart. If you don't think so, then take a look at this: he was The Chosen One that had to take down Voldemort and not any dumb kid could pull that off. Another way his glasses are represented throughout the movies is by a very powerful character trait; creativity. Creativity is shown by his glasses because he used them as an advantage in his Quidditch match one time when it was raining very hard and he needed to repel water away from his eyes so he could more easily see the Snitch (Hermione used the Impervius Charm). Who would've thought you could repel water using your own glasses? Lastly, his glasses show that his father, James Potter, also wore glasses, as he too had problems seeing.


Paragraph about how the glasses symbolize school:

One way Harry Potter's glasses symbolize school is they show anyone can be smart. Harry was not the top of his class, though he was famous. However, he is undeniably a smart kid. Another way Harry's glasses symbolize school is because of this neat idiom: "four eyes". This represents many things. For example, it could represent that one is very aware of what is going on in school. Lastly, Harry's glasses show that one must keep moving forward in school. You can connect to this from a clip in the movie, when Harry lost his glasses at the Whomping Willow, but had to keep moving forward into the Whillow in order to catch up to Ron Weasley. (Harry did get his glasses in the movie clip before he entered the tree, of course).


Hope this really helps you out! :)

Harry Potter In the past couple years, there has been a growing phenomenon in the world of children's literature, this phenomenon is Harry Potter. J.K. Rowlings series of novels about a young wizard and his years at "Hogwarts School of Wizarding and Witchcraft," has become one of the most successful children's book series of all time. Before reading any of the now four novels, one may find it hard to believe that a children's novel may be so entertaining. But once one starts reading any of the four books, it is plain to see why these books are so popular.

Before first reading a Harry Potter novel, I was skeptical that a children's book about an orphan wizard going to school would be entertaining. But within 15 minutes I found …show more content…
Whether it is a fight for his life, winning a quidditch match, or just staying out of trouble, these novels are anything but boring. This I believe, is one of the biggest reasons why these books have been such a success, the author knows how to keep the story going at all times in order to maintain the readers attention. Another factor which I believe has led to the novels success is that while reading, the reader wishes that they could live in this fantasy world created by Rowling where life is anything but ordinary. The novels make the reader somewhat desire a life like the one led by the characters of the novels, like going to a school to learn wizarding, always having extraordinary things happen and just being at Hogwarts seems like an unequaled joy for some. These novels have the ability to reignite the long lost imaginations of adults, and keep the imaginations of children strong.

Although I am a strong supporter of this book series, I do find one thing wrong with the books. All the novels have endings which are almost the same, Harry saves the day and Voldemort the major antagonist gets defeated in one way or another. Also only Harry and his friends seem to be the ones who go on adventures to defeat huge beasts or save family members from monsters known as dementors, this to me makes the novel slightly unappealing but still one of
