  • Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort, and the Importance of Resilience by Emily
    Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort, and the Importance of Resilience by Emily Anderson A thesis presented to the Honors College of Middle Tennessee State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the University Honors College Spring 2017 Harry Potter and the Importance of Resilience by Emily Anderson APPROVED: ____________________________ Dr. Martha Hixon, Department of English Dr. Maria Bachman, Chair, Department of English __________________________ Dr. Teresa Davis, Department of Psychology ___________________________ Dr. Philip E. Phillips, Associate Dean University Honors College ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Hixon for her knowledge and endless support of this thesis even when finishing seemed impossible. I would also like to thank my family for the countless hours spent listening to the importance of resilience in Harry Potter and for always being there to edit, comment on, and support this thesis. i ABSTRACT Literature and psychology inadvertently go hand in hand. Authors create characters that are relatable and seem real. This thesis discusses the connection between psychology and literature in relation to the Harry Potter series. This thesis focuses on the importance of resilience or lack thereof in the protagonist, Harry, and the antagonist Voldemort. Specifically, it addresses resilience as a significant difference between the two. In order to support such claims, I will be using Erik Erikson’s Theory of Psycho-Social Development to analyze the struggles and outcomes of both Harry and Voldemort in relation to resilience and focus on the importance of strong, supportive relationships as a defining factor in the development of resilience. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS……………………………………………………………......i ABSTRACT……………………………………………………………………………….ii CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION ......................................................................................

  • An Exploration of JK Rowling's Social and Political Agenda in the Harry
    Vollmer UW-L Journal of Undergraduate Research X (2007) Harry’s World: An Exploration of J.K. Rowling’s Social and Political Agenda in the Harry Potter Series Erin Vollmer Faculty Sponsor: Richard Gappa, Department of English ABSTRACT Over the years, the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling has grown in popularity, becoming one of the most read and most criticized pieces of children’s literature to date. Interestingly, the series has not only gained popularity with children, but also their adult counterparts. As a result of its adult success, Harry Potter has attracted more and more scholars to pursue serious literary analysis, most frequently exploring themes such as death and religion. However, the focus of this research is on the intertextual parallels of the numerous hierarchical structures found in the Harry Potter series, examining how these hierarchies develop the social and racial themes in the story and vice versa. A further purpose is to determine if there is a correlation between the power structures found in the series and our own, drawing on secondary criticisms and theory for support. Above all, although the series should not be reduced to “this versus that,” there is sufficient evidence to argue that a conflict of materialistic versus altruistic values is at work in the Harry Potter series. Therefore, the examination of race, hierarchy, and power assists in the recognition of the social and political systems at work in the series. Keywords: J.K. Rowling, Hierarchy, Materialism INTRODUCTION When a skinny boy with black hair, green eyes, and a telltale scar appeared on the scene in 1997, nobody could have predicted the significant impact this seemingly insignificant boy would have on the world.

  • Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone the First in the Wonderful Best
    Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone The first in the wonderful best-selling series of novels by writer J.K. Rowling comes ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’. The journey is just beginning for Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe); as an eleven year old orphan who lives in the cupboard under the stairs of his aunt’s house, Harry has not had the best of lives up until this point. He is under-appreciated and frankly unwanted. Harry’s life is about to change; soon he’ll find that his parents we’re not killed in a car crash as he thought, but that they were murdered by a horrifying dark wizard. He will soon attend a wizarding school and learn much that he never thought possible; he will learn how to fly as well as play the sport of Quidditch. Harry’s life will never be the same again! Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Harry Potter is a well-known name when it comes to the world of Wizardry, and he’s got a big reputation to live up to. His reputation, as well as his magical abilities, are about to be put to the test! A mysterious visitor named Dobby the House Elf appears at Harry’s house over the summer and warns Harry not to return to Hogwarts. Knowing his life will be in danger, Harry is determined that this warning holds no merit and returns to Hogwarts, but soon finds that perhaps he shouldn’t have. “The Chamber of Secrets Has Been Opened.

  • FIC -Reconstructing the Ministry of Magic After the Battle of Hogwarts
    2021 I Fictional Committee I Agenda 1 Research Report Fictional Committee 1 I Reconstructing the ministry of magic after the Battle of Hogwarts MIS MUN 2021 Drafted by Savera Shah 1 2021 I Fictional Committee I Agenda 1 Table of Contents Table of Contents 2 Introduction 3 Definition of Key Terms 4 Current State of Affairs 6 Stances of Characters 7 Possible Solutions 8 Questions to Consider 9 Bibliography 10 2 2021 I Fictional Committee I Agenda 1 Introduction The Ministry of Magic or M.o.M. was the primary governing body representative of the magical community in Harry Potter. Their main goal was the preservation of law regarding magic. Furthermore, the Ministry of Magic keeps Muggles from finding out about the culture of magical folk. Essentially, the Ministry is a complicated and highly inefficient bureaucracy. Their headquarters are in London and are made up of various Departments. Boards, Committees, and Offices, all of whom enforce the regulations and rules of laws. The Ministry tackles different aspects such as commerce, transportation, magical creatures, sport, and international relations. Within the ministry, there are numerous law enforcement agencies. Their roles are to maintain order, impose laws and rules, manage security breaches, and operate Azkaban (prison for magical criminals). Besides this, the Ministry also maintains groups of Hit-police who protect the wizarding world and deal with criminals. The Wizengamot, High Wizard Court, is a governing body that serves as the ultimate judge of justice for the wizarding world. The ministry unites the British government to the world of witchcraft. Every prime minister of Britain is visited by the Minister for Magic.

  • A Fiction-Based Religion Within the Harry Potter Fandom
    Religions 2014, 5, 219–267; doi:10.3390/rel5010219 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article ‘Snapewives’ and ‘Snapeism’: A Fiction-Based Religion within the Harry Potter Fandom Zoe Alderton Independent scholar; E-Mail: [email protected] Received: 18 December 2013; in revised form: 6 February 2014 / Accepted: 11 February 2014 / Published: 3 March 2014 Abstract: The book and film franchise of Harry Potter has inspired a monumental fandom community with a veracious output of fanfiction and general musings on the text and the vivid universe contained therein. A significant portion of these texts deal with Professor Severus Snape, the stern Potions Master with ambiguous ethics and loyalties. This paper explores a small community of Snape fans who have gone beyond a narrative retelling of the character as constrained by the work of Joanne Katherine Rowling. The ‘Snapewives’ or ‘Snapists’ are women who channel Snape, are engaged in romantic relationships with him, and see him as a vital guide for their daily lives. In this context, Snape is viewed as more than a mere fictional creation. He is seen as a being that extends beyond the Harry Potter texts with Rowling perceived as a flawed interpreter of his supra-textual essence. While a Snape religion may be seen as the extreme end of the Harry Potter fandom, I argue that religions of this nature are not uncommon, unreasonable, or unprecedented. Popular films are a mechanism for communal bonding, individual identity building, and often contain their own metaphysical discourses. Here, I plan to outline the manner in which these elements resolve within extreme Snape fandom so as to propose a nuanced model for the analysis of fandom-inspired religion without the use of unwarranted veracity claims.
