Harry Potter: The Inspirational Talker
I have decided to free write about the first Harry Potter book. I have been reading the Harry Potter series since I was really young. It was always something that interested me. Harry Potter beat all of the odds from the very first line of the very first book. He had to fill the shoes of his parents and the live up to the ideas of the wizards that he was famous. He beat all the odds when he eventually defeated voldemort. Though it sounds a little funny, Harry Potter is an inspiration. I read the books mostly when I was in middle school. I had a lot of issues in middle school and high school. I was one of those kids who would rather have a book in my hand than talk to other people because it was easier, but I always wanted to have lots and lots of friends. The Harry Potter world was somewhere that I could 'go' to and escape the odd goings of a high school cafeteria. And like Harry Potter, I have lived up to and exceeded the dreams that people around me didn't think that I could reach.

It is nice to see you writing about something that interests you. I feel as if you are interested in something it is easier to write about even if it’s only for two hundred and fifty words. I feel as you are a little short on the word requirement, just for the heads up I don’t want to see you lose any points. Wouldn't it be cool to go to Hogwarts for high school? I think that would be pretty cool. Was it easy to make friends in middle school or high school, because I feel when we were growing up, just about everyone had a harry potter book in their hand.

ReplyDeleteThe Harry Potter series is fun to get lost in, isn't it? It takes us away from our every day issues and puts us right in the middle of Harry and his friends. I like what you wrote, however, I think you should have expanded some of your thoughts. What was it about the first book that inspired you? What did Harry do in that particular book that made you want to right about him? You took us on a whirlwind tour of the series in very short paragraph. I do like how you compared what was going on in your life at the time of reading the books for the first time however. It is a nice reference that lets us know how you relate to the series and how Harry inspires you over all.
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I am familiar with the Harry Potter series as my children read the books and have seen all the movies. I think Harry was a good role model for them growing up as was the good conquering evil theme. It also taught them the benefits of lasting friendships, being loyal, and standing up for what you believe in.
ReplyDeleteI agree it would be good for you to expand on your thoughts a bit more. It would be interesting to see if the you were influenced in the same ways as my own children. On an interesting note my son was studying abroad in Scotland recently and we went to visit him. While we were in Edinburgh, one of our stops was The Elephant House Cafe the birthplace of Harry Potter where J K Rowling did much of her writing. There was a cemetery behind the cafe where it is said she chose the names of her characters in her book from the tombstones.
