Harry potter clue rules

One of my favorite things about the series is the spirit of fun that permeates the book. While we readers know that dark things are constantly lurking, darkness makes light moments stand out that much more. From Fred and George's practical jokes, to Harry and Ron's sarcastic wit, to moments when magic is as whimsical as you'd like, there's plenty of fun in the Harry Potter books. Sure, Harry has a bit of a hard life at times: he's an orphan, the Dursleys aren't super nice relatives, and Voldemort is constantly planning his return (as well as killing people in the process). So yes, darkness dampens things. After all, one does not always feel that he laughs when fighting against one of the worst wizards ever. But there's a reason this series inspired hilarious skits like The Very Potter Musical : despite the sadness, and despite the evil, these magicians still know how to have fun. As Dumbledore says in the movies, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if he just remembers to turn on the light. So sit back and enjoy some quotes from HP that wished you'd gone to because it seemed like pure fun.1 They sat for an hour and ate everything they could with a spear on a toasting fork - bread, English muffins, marshmallows - and plot ways to get Malfoy expelled that were fun to talk about even if it didn't work.-JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the Stone mugie-JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the Stone of Mugie-JK Rowling, JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Mystery-George Weasley , Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban- JK Rowling , Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Fred Weasley, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - J.K.

February 1, 2001 11 min read This story appears in the February 2001 issue of Entrepreneur. Sign up » If you're like us at entrepreneur, and like millions of kids and adults around the world, you're not just a fan of Harry Potter books–you're a fan in withdrawal. It looks like the next book in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, may not hit bookstores until 2002, and the first film won't be released until November. You have two options: Go crazy or read this article. Like many entrepreneurs, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling began in modest digs and with big dreams. She had to rewrite the entire manuscript for [the first] book because she couldn't afford it to be copied, Jeff Blackman, a business growth specialist in Glenview, Illinois, and author of Result$ (Successors). Now more than 30 million [Harry Potter] books have been sold. It's a remarkable testament to [her] perseverance and passion. Rowling studied French and literature, not business, in college. For several years, however, she worked at the Chamber of Commerce in Manchester, England. Maybe something's rubbed off, because young Potter can teach us a lot about managing our own businesses. We're not making this up. Even The Wall Street Journal ran a story about how business are all-embracing books, referring to emails like owls and ATMs like Gringotts. (Confused by that sentence? Consult Potter Mouth.) Of course, since the Harry Potter books are ostensibly for children, some hidden and not-so-hidden business lessons may seem basic. But like all eternal truths, it's a good idea to reconsider them occasionally. So take the milk and the cookies, pull up the chair and read the story... Book One: Harry Potter and the Stone Book of The Wizard Two: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Mystery Book Three: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Book Four: Harry Potter and the Cup of Fire Book One: Harry Potter and the Stone of Mugie Storyline: Ten-year-old orphan Harry Potter lives in a closet under the stairs in the home of his heartless relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Dursley and their stupid son Dudley. Harry learns he has witch blood and has to go to the train station on Kings Cross 93 4 to travel to Hogwarts, the school for wizards. That's where Harry makes friends for the first time. He also confronts his enemy, Lord Vardemard. Business Lesson 1: Understand the different cultures in your company. On Harry's first day at Hogwarts, he and the other first-year students meet with a sorting hat that tells the audience: Try me and I'll tell you where you should be. Once the hat is on, it sends each student to one of four dormitories: Gryffinz, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin. The most talented guides (including Harry) are sent to Gryffin you and sinister in Slytherin, where you'll find , the worst high school student in the fictional universe. Do you know what's really going on in your company? If you're not sure, check out Shadow knows tips on determining which of your employees yield real power. The bigger your business, the more cultures you'll have- and you need to be aware of them, says Don Andersson, a business coach in Cranford, New Jersey, and author of Hire For Fit (Oak-hill Press). When he read the first Harry Potter book, he immediately noticed how Hogwarts academic culture reflected the culture of the corporate world. If you want a new employee to thrive, the person who decides on recruitment needs to understand the culture of your company well enough to know where [the candidate] will be Andersson says. An employee can have great skills, but in a bad culture, they won't really [work]. Business Lesson 2: When you own a company, you should be in good company. Your partners and employees are everything; You do realize that, don't you? This wisdom is evidenced by Harry's best friends and . Hermione lies to the professor to keep Harry and Ron in trouble for confronting a troll, and Ron risks death in a live action chess game so Harry can stop the wizard's stone from falling into the wrong hands. But loyalty isn't enough. You also need employees and partners to tell you what they think, not what you want to hear. And if they're smart, all the better. Potter Mouth If you haven't read the books, here's a brief guide to the key concepts: 9: The platform where the train departs to take Harry to Hogwarts. You'll never find him when you're muggles. Gringotts: The bank where wizards have their money; the ruthless elves guard it. Warts: The seven-year Academy of Magic harry attends. Mudblood: A derogatory slang term for the descendants of muggles and magical parents. Muggles: A person without magical powers. This can be said as an insult, or with the want of compassion in one's voice. Owls: Owls carry messages back and forth – not as fast as email, but more fun. : Think about football on brooms, and you have an idea. Book two: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Mystery Plot: Harry returns to Hogwarts a year later to discover that an evil being is turning students into living statues. Business Lesson 1: The initiative is rewarded. Sometimes the rules must be bent or even broken. Caryn Beck-Dudley, a professor of business law and ethics at Utah State University in Logan, points out: If you kicked hogwarts students out every time they made a mistake, you wouldn't be left with a very virtuous organization. And you wouldn't even have Harry Potter. When you're trying to create a work environment that makes people happy to come to work, treat people like people should be tops on your list. Read manage your employee to better figure out how to do it. Just as entrepreneurs rarely stick to a 9-to-5 regime, Harry breaks the curfew to sneak around the school and fight evil. When he flies on a broom against orders, he is not punished- in fact, he is rewarded with a coveted spot on the Quidditch team. Why? Because he flew to the aid of a classmate, and it's the best broom-flyer the school has seen in ages-to-delight students, professors and even principal . But if Dumbledore were like many bosses, beck-dudley says, he'd be concentrating on the bad things Harry's done. Then Harry would either go away and take his skills elsewhere, or his creativity would be crushed. Business Lesson 4: Create a caring work environment. If Harry Potter had worked in most companies, he'd have been fired by now. Beck-Dudley. Sometimes harsh punishment is not the best medicine, he notes. Business owners often dismiss someone because it's the easiest [way] without realizing that it creates an environment where people are afraid and unproductive. Warts include all of them. You're not severely punished if you fail. Poor Neville [one of the students] tries hard but never quite does it and is still part of the group. The emphasis is on how it contributes rather than how it does not contribute. Book Three: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Plot: Our Hero Returns to Hogwarts in the hope of getting out of the way of the infamous assassin . Business Lesson 5: Networking works. This theme runs throughout the series, but seems best illustrated in this installment. Harry and Hermione are good at making contacts that pay off. Before the book begins, Hermione has agreed with one of the teachers to take three classes at once (through time travel) and get further ahead academically. But Harry is the king of the nets. In the Chamber of Mystery, he meets Dobby, a house elf who later saves his life with advice in the Cup of Fire. In Azkaban, Fred and George Weasley (Ron's brothers and Harry's classmates) provide Harry with a map of Hogwarts that shows where the individuals are at the moment. In Goblet, Harry helps his opponent, , during the Triwizard tournament; Later, Cedric returns the favor. If it wasn't for his contacts, Harry would have been done by now.

Harry seems to be as much as Harry expects, but in this book he learns to be flexible. (If you haven't read this article and want to, consider skipping this section.) After hearing that he can't visit the magical village of Hogsmeade with his classmates, Harry plans to spend the day reading. But when he gets a secret map of the school, he discovers a tunnel to Hogsmeade - which later helps him uncover the villains. And while many heroes (businessmen) might be forgiven for not wanting to connect with someone who was once a competitor, Harry befriends Sirius, who becomes one of his closest allies. Harry's willingness to change direction quickly catches Blackman's eye. The decisions you make affect your future, he explains. Do you decide to innovate, imitate or vegetate? If it's the last one, you might as well abdication. So much of Harry Potter deals with creative thinking of innovation from a unique perspective. Dumbledore ponders: The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is indeed a very difficult business. You can make predictions for your company, but you can't rely on them. Book Four: Harry Potter and the Gobly Fire: Harry Returns to and competes in the Triwizard tournament. Business Lesson 7: Entrepreneurs triumph over large corporations. Anne Warfield, a business coach, professional speaker and owner of Impression Management Professionals in Minneapolis, thinks business lessons are the most important thing in the books. No matter how insignificant we think we are, we can have a powerful effect, he says. What is important is to get the tools to develop this potential in yourself. Harry's doing it at Hogwarts, and he's finally going to beat Lord Vedemard. Business Lesson 8: Adequate funding is essential. Invest wisely. The money Harry inherits from his parents and saves along the way allows him to provide money when George and Fred Weasley need funds for their magical joke shop. Who would have thought that? Harry Potter may not grow into an entrepreneur, but he's already a venture capitalist. Rating Figures We asked business experts how Harry and his cohorts would fare as entrepreneurs. Harry Potter Characterization: kind, ethical, courageous, stubborn, independent As an entrepreneur: He would be great. He would be willing to work through the problems to find an answer, says business coach Anne Warfield of Impression Management Professionals. His Achilles heel: Maybe he doesn't rely enough on others to deal with each adventure on their own. As with spiders, he didn't think through the danger he was exhoding Ron because his quest for an answer caught up with him, Warfield says, referring to the time Harry persuaded Ron to accompany him to the Forbidden Forest in the Chamber of Mystery. Ron Weasley Characteristics: loyal, brave, ethical, but sometimes envious of those more successful as an entrepreneur: He should partner with a friend or mentor. He'd be a better vice president than [the CEO], Warfield says. He's got the strength of character, but... His Achilles heel: Leadership is difficult for Ron, Warfield adds. He expects Harry and Hermione to send the ideas in advance. Hermione Granger Characteristics: intelligent, ambitious, loyal, very ethical, serious, kind, friendly As an entrepreneur: She would probably do better than Harry. It's logical, detail-oriented, and has connections, Warfield says. She'd be the most visionary and brightest. Her Achilles heel: She could overhaul her people, says Warfield. He doesn't know how to lighten up. Draco Malfoy Characteristics: medium, unethical, evil, the kind of person who would send orphans Father's Day cards as an entrepreneur: His type often goes far, says business professor Caryn Beck-Dudley of Utah State University. He would have been surrounded by yes men and manipulated for things to happen, Warfield adds. He'd be successful if he gave it away to the organization and then sold it. His Achilles heel: He's evil, and you know what usually happens to the bad guy at the end. End.
