Revelation of Love
The birth of the Harry Potter series novels was born by chance.
J.K. Rowling has loved writing since she was a child and worked as a teacher and secretary for a short time. At the age of 24, she had the idea of creating the "Harry Potter" series of novels on the train to London.
What prompted her to continue writing was the power of maternal love.
At that time, J.K. Rowling, as a single mother, lived a very difficult life, and her daughter was seriously ill in bed. In order to give her daughter a comfort, she began to devote herself to creating the "Harry Potter" series of novels.
Since the novel started, Rowling's daughter has always been the first reader. Rowling also wanted to use the amazing courage shown by the little wizard Harry in his thrilling adventure to encourage his seriously ill daughter to overcome the disease.
The protagonist of this novel is marked with strong courage.
He was divided into Gryffindor College , which is famous for its courage. He has overcome difficulties again and again and achieved extraordinary achievements.
It is precisely that the character image of Harry is largely the concretization and visualization of the characters in the fairy tale told by the mother in front of her child’s bed. As the story unfolds, we can find that the author has poured too much maternal love into Harry Potter. This is the strong emotional foundation of this series of novels.
Harry is an orphan whose parents were killed by the black wizard Voldemort when he was one year old. Afterwards, Harry was sent to his aunt's house on the mortal world's Livervet Road through the rescue of Dumbledore . However, Harry, who lost his parents, did not gain warmth at his aunt's house. What is jaw-dropping is that my aunt and uncle have great prejudice and dissatisfaction with him, and little Harry was troubled.
. In order to make up for Harry's lack of maternal love, the author created a kind mother image in the magic world to echo his lost mother, namely, Molly Weasley, the mother of Harry's good friend Ron.
Since the first "Magic Stone", Molly has been giving Harry meticulous care in her life, making her son Ron full of jealousy. Rowling's real motivation when she was creating was her deep love for her daughter, and her mood was deeply penetrated into the novel, always allowing Harry to feel the warm motherly care.
The Harry Potter series has become an insurmountable peak in magic novels. If we peel off the shell of magic and then peel off the cocoon, the remaining story is a boy's magic journey and growth adventure.
In the magical world depicted in the entire work, whether it is Harry, Ron, Hermione and other children, Dumbledore, the respected and powerful principal, or even the murderous and crazy Voldemort, they cannot escape the grudges and hatred brought by the word "love".
The representatives of both good and evil sides in the novel Harry and Voldemort have many unity and oppositions. They all have miserable backgrounds:
Harry lost his parents and became an orphan when he was one year old; Voldemort was abandoned by his mother after he was born and grew up in an orphanage. Both of them received favor from Dumbledore to study at Hogwarts Magic School , and both had excellent grades.
The biggest difference and strongest contrast between the two people is manifested in having love and not falling in love. One is drinking the nectar and the other is falling into the abyss forever.
Voldemor's mother is an ugly witch. She wishfully fell in love with mortal Tom Riddle, and she used witchcraft and magic to seduce Tom. After the two of them were combined, Voldemort's mother was deeply in love and decided to face Tom with her true face. Unexpectedly, Tom abandoned her and eventually her family was destroyed.
Voldemor's mother used magic to bring herself a love of the water moon mirror flower. The love that Tom, controlled by magic, gave her was just a mirage. After the magic power dissipated, the truth caused a tragedy. Voldemort was born as the fruit of lovelessness. And the orphanage where he grew up also lacks care.
It is precisely because of this that his mind has been twisted in the dark, messy and ruthless orphanage, and once it is finalized, it is irreversible. Even if he was later cared for by Dumbledore, it would have no help to his alienation. The tragic childhood experience laid the groundwork for Voldemort's two turbulent and waves. What is in a strong contrast with Voldemort is Harry's healthy growth. Mental health is especially prominent.
Harry became famous because he was the only person who survived after being hit by Voldemort's death curse. It was on the night when his parents were killed that he became the "failed to death" boy.
The loving James Porter and Lily Porter unfortunately became victims of Voldemort's conspiracy, but fortunately, they used love to preserve the life of their only son. Harry's mother Lily Potter's spell on Harry before her death saved Harry from danger.
talisman itself does not have too strong magic power, and it is simply vulnerable to the powerful and evil Voldemort ever. But the extraordinary thing about the spell that Lily imposed is that it was exchanged for a great mother at the cost of her life in times of danger. It shows the invincible power of maternal love.
Harry grew up peacefully under the shade of this spell. Although Harry was bullied at his aunt's house, he was kind by nature and did not have the malice of revenge, which distorted his personality.
After entering Hogwarts, he was favored by principal Dumbledore and Molly's motherly love, in addition to the short but strong fatherly love of the godfather Sirius Black and the friendship between his friends.
Harry was born in a miserable way, but he gained more love to replace the sadness of his life experience and the desolation of having no parents in his life. Harry is also full of love for people, and he knows how to love and be loved. Faced with the cruel Death Eater, he couldn't bear to use the "Avadassauri". This is the biggest difference between Harry and Voldemort, and it is also the key to determining that the two "must have one".
Growing by yourself
The main line of the novel is Harry Potter's growth experience.
Harry's holiday life on Ligustrum Road is just a foil to his haunting study life in Hogwarts. Livervet's life is generally gray and depressed.
There, in the cupboard under the stairs, Harry was just a thin, messy-haired ordinary boy, scolded by his uncle and always bullied by his unreasonable cousin.
It is such an ordinary little boy who is well-known in the magic world and eventually defeated Voldemort's counterattack and achieved the final and complete victory in the battle against Voldemort.
Almost every novel starts with Harry's summer life, and after a short and bleak summer, Harry's ups and downs and thrilling life in Hogwarts. Harry grew up step by step in Voldemort's struggle.
The young Harry protected the Philosopher's Stone, broke into the secret room, and helped the framed godfather Sirius escape, releasing the fire dragon of the Gringott. In the repeated adventures, Harry became more and more mature and brave to take responsibility.
Afterwards, Harry's resistance to Voldemort changed from passive to active. After the baptism of the Order of the Phoenix, after Sirius and Dumbledore's death, he led Hermione and Ron to find and destroy the Horcrux, and found the Deathly Hallows , and defeated Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts.
Harry's growth has experienced too many hardships, changes and disasters. He enjoyed the glory that more than ten thousand people loved in his young life, and suffered shameless slander and wrongfulness from others. Among the great joy and sorrow, what remains unchanged is his firmness, persistence and heroism as always.
The lightning-shaped scar on his forehead and the "I can't lie" marks on the back of his hands have become symbols of Harry's identity and personality beliefs.
Because there is no clear guidance from parents, no extraordinary talent, and no strong help from Sirius, Dumbledore, and werewolf Lupin in the decisive battle, Harry's growth is more about crossing the river by feeling the stones himself. No one made it clear to him that he would search for the truth in one clue after another and endure the pain of growth.
is another clue that forms a strong contrast with Harry's growth: Voldemort's comeback and rise. These two clues in the novel are bright and dark, and one is good and one is evil.
Harry gradually discovered his true self in Voldemort's struggle and shouldered the mission of "savior".
And Harry's tit-for-tat confrontation with Voldemort seemed to be a replica of his immortality:
Once upon a time, Harry, who was still in his infancy, was born of love, survived the disaster under the vicious Voldemort's men, and became a miracle; and then, when Voldemort made a comeback, Harry, who was young, moved forward bravely, and his recklessness was from the heart and was inevitable with destiny.
And history is always amazingly similar. No matter how powerful Voldemort's magic is or how cruel the means are, he will ultimately be unable to overcome the power of love.
Voldemort's first failure was the victory of justice and love, and it was inevitable that evil would not suppress justice. His second failure and death were a gambler-like sadness that was stubborn, self-inflicted, and crazy. He was pitiful and sad, and he could not escape the vicious circle of fate.
The success of the "Harry Potter" series of novels lies in the excellent creation of a teenager's hard and happy, novel and sinister magic journey and growth adventure.
Harry is just an ordinary child chosen by fate, but he has completed his transformation again and again in his life full of pain and redemption, making the legend of "every death from disaster" when he was a child appear before the world again when he was fighting against evil.
Compared with the mystery of the disaster and the savior star, Harry's growth in the Gryffindor Quidditch team at Hogwarts seems more real and credible. Ha used his actions to set an inspirational example for the students of Hogwarts and interpreted the purity and love of the world.
Instead of simply treating the Harry Potter series as a magic masterpiece and reading the book with this mentality, it is better to regard it as a boy's magic journey and growth adventure.
is right. What kind of growth have you experienced when you have read "Harry Potter" carefully?
