Why We Love Harry

Favorite Moments from the Series
There are plenty of reasons to love Rowling's wildly popular series--no doubt you have several dozen of your own. Our list features favorite moments, characters, and artifacts from the first five books. Keep in mind that this list is by no means exhaustive (what we love about Harry could fill ten books!) and does not include any of the spectacular revelatory moments that would spoil the books for those (few) who have not read them. Enjoy.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Book 1)

* Harry's first trip to the zoo with the Dursleys, when a boa constrictor winks at him.
* When the Dursleys' house is suddenly besieged by letters for Harry from Hogwarts. Readers learn how much the Dursleys have been keeping from Harry. Rowling does a wonderful job in displaying the lengths to which Uncle Vernon will go to deny that magic exists.
* Harry's first visit to Diagon Alley with Hagrid. Full of curiosities and rich with magic and marvel, Harry's first trip includes a trip to Gringotts and Ollivanders, where Harry gets his wand (holly and phoenix feather) and discovers yet another connection to He-Who-Must-No-Be-Named. This moment is the reader's first full introduction to Rowling's world of witchcraft and wizards.
* Harry's experience with the Sorting Hat.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2)

* The de-gnoming of the Weasleys' garden. Harry discovers that even wizards have chores--gnomes must be grabbed (ignoring angry protests "Gerroff me! Gerroff me!"), swung about (to make them too dizzy to come back), and tossed out of the garden--this delightful scene highlights Rowling's clever and witty genius.
* Harry's first experience with a Howler, sent to Ron by his mother.
* The Dueling Club battle between Harry and Malfoy. Gilderoy Lockhart starts the Dueling Club to help students practice spells on each other, but he is not prepared for the intensity of the animosity between Harry and Draco. Since they are still young, their minibattle is innocent enough, including tickling and dancing charms.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3)

* Ron's attempt to use a telephone to call Harry at the Dursleys'.
* Harry's first encounter with a Dementor on the train (and just about any other encounter with Dementors). Harry's brush with the Dementors is terrifying and prepares Potter fans for a darker, scarier book.
* Harry, Ron, and Hermione's behavior in Professor Trelawney's Divination class. Some of the best moments in Rowling's books occur when she reminds us that the wizards-in-training at Hogwarts are, after all, just children. Clearly, even at a school of witchcraft and wizardry, classes can be boring and seem pointless to children.
* The Boggart lesson in Professor Lupin's classroom.
* Harry, Ron, and Hermione's knock-down confrontation with Snape.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)

* Hermione's disgust at the reception for the veela (Bulgarian National Team Mascots) at the Quidditch World Cup. Rowling's fourth book addresses issues about growing up--the dynamic between the boys and girls at Hogwarts starts to change. Nowhere is this more plain than the hilarious scene in which magical cheerleaders nearly convince Harry and Ron to jump from the stands to impress them.
* Viktor Krum's crush on Hermione--and Ron's objection to it.
* Malfoy's "Potter Stinks" badge.
* Hermione's creation of S.P.E.W., the intolerant bigotry of the Death Eaters, and the danger of the Triwizard Tournament. Add in the changing dynamics between girls and boys at Hogwarts, and suddenly Rowling's fourth book has a weight and seriousness not as present in early books in the series. Candy and tickle spells are left behind as the students tackle darker, more serious issues and take on larger responsibilities, including the knowledge of illegal curses.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5)

* Harry's outburst to his friends at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. A combination of frustration over being kept in the dark and fear that he will be expelled fuels much of Harry's anger, and it all comes out at once, directly aimed at Ron and Hermione. Rowling perfectly portrays Harry's frustration at being too old to shirk responsibility, but too young to be accepted as part of the fight that he knows is coming.
* Harry's detention with Professor Umbridge. Rowling shows her darker side, leading readers to believe that Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven for young wizards. Dolores represents a bureaucratic tyrant capable of real evil, and Harry is forced to endure their private battle of wills alone.
* Harry and Cho's painfully awkward interactions. Rowling clearly remembers what it was like to be a teenager.
* Harry's Occlumency lessons with Snape.
* Dumbledore's confession to Harry.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6)

* A darker book than any in the series thus far with a level of sophistication belying its genre, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince moves the series into murkier waters and marks the arrival of Rowling onto the adult literary scene. While she has long been praised for her cleverness and wit, the strength of Book 6 lies in her subtle development of key characters, as well as her carefully nuanced depiction of a community at war. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, no one and nothing is safe, including preconceived notions of good and evil and of right and wrong. With each book in her increasingly remarkable series, fans have nervously watched J.K. Rowling raise the stakes; gone are the simple delights of butterbeer and enchanted candy, and days when the worst ailment could be cured by a bite of chocolate. A series that began as a colorful lark full of magic and discovery has become a dark and deadly war zone.

Magic, Mystery, and Mayhem: A Conversation with J.K. Rowling

"I am an extraordinarily lucky person, doing what I love best in the world. I’m sure that I will always be a writer. It was wonderful enough just to be published. The greatest reward is the enthusiasm of the readers." --J.K. Rowling

Vous ne serez pas dé�u ! 1 mars 2003

Ce que j'adore avec J. K. Rowling, c'est que contrairement aux remakes/suites cinématographiques, chaque livre est meilleur que le précédent. Honn�tement, je l'attendais au tournant après le premier... Eh bien, elle réussit à garder une qualité de style et d'invention très étonnante compte tenu de la densité de chaque Harry Potter.

Vous savez comme moi, si vous �tes fan, que JK Rowling a déclaré avoir con�u les 7 livres de la série comme un tout dès le départ. Là aussi, j'étais sceptique. Mais je dois me rendre à l'évidence : on n'arrive pas à la prendre en défaut de redite. On n'a jamais l'impression que les situations sont "tirées par les cheveux". Les Harry Potter (jusque là) se présentent comme une seule histoire, non une suite d'histoires, un bloc consistant et bien rythmé. Pour moi, c'est s�r, nous avons là une oeuvre de la littérature (j'ose à peine écrire enfantine) qui durera. Vivement le prochain !

Bon, c'est vrai, il fait 640 Pages mais ce sont 640 Pages avec notre heros favori qui commence sa rentrée avec la coupe du monde de Quiddich et le tournoi magical, qui est organisé a Hogwart.Le tournoi magical a lieu pour la premiére fois dépuis quelques siécles et réunit les éleves de deux autres écoles de magie: ceux de Beaubatons et de Drumstang. Devinez qui va prendre part au tournoi. Mais bien entendu Voldemort qui n'est pas loin donnera du fil a retordre a Harry. J'attend avec impatience la suite.

De mieux en mieux! 18 mai 2003

Par "cecile1983"

A chaque tome des aventures de notre petit sorcier préféré, on s'attache de plus en plus à lui.
Harry en apprend de plus en plus sur son monde, sur la magie, sur ses parents... et sur le mal! Eh oui dans ce 4e tome, on commence à entrevoir ce qu'était la vie dans la communauté magique de Grande-Bretagne losque Lord Voldemort était à son apogée.
Ce livre est plus long que les autres mais il est tellement captivant qu'une fois commencé, je n'ai pu m'arr�ter de lire que quand je l'ai terminé. Et je conseille m�me de le lire plusieurs fois pour mieux comprendre, a la lumière du dénouement, les détails que l'on croit anodins tout au long du récit.
