6. "If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped to change. We do not need magic to transform the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already."

10.  Harry Potter – Main character of the series, son of James Potter and Lily Evans. Harry Potter  Ordinary hero: He's an orphan who doesn't remember his parents   Harry is stuck living in the spider- infested closet under the stairs. Because of the Dursleys, he's had to grow up fast and learn to look after himself.

11.  Extraordinary : But Harry's not your everyday kid, and he's not even your everyday wizard. Harry's surrounded by mystery.  He's the one person Voldemort (one of the evilest and most powerful wizards) could not kill, and he's the only known survivor of a "powerful, evil curse" (4.107).  Nobody knows why Voldemort's magic didn't work on Harry, or how he survived a curse that killed both his parents and destroyed his house. For that matter, no one seems to know why Voldemort was after Harry in the first place. Even though he was just a baby when Voldemort attack him, his survival makes him an instant celebrity in the wizarding world.  he's famous in the wizarding world as “The Boy Who lived”

12.  Harry's close friend  youngest Son of Arthur and Molly Weasley  Ron comes from a long line of wizards on both sides of his family, making him a pureblood.  He's grown up steeped in magic and speaks the language of magic too well  Ron wants to be a Gryffindor because it's the house that his whole family has always been in  school prefect

13.  When we first meet Hermione, Harry and Ron think she's super annoying. Ron hopes that she won't. He tells Harry, "Whatever house I'm in, I hope she's not in it“  According to some of the characters “Because Hermione is from an entirely Muggle family, she shouldn't be that good at magic, or even be allowed to do magic”  She's loud and bossy and butts in all the time. She's your typical know-it-all,   This character in the Harry Potter Series is closest in personality to J.K. Rowling

14. "My books are largely about death.” J.K Rowling They open with the death of Harry's parents. There is Voldemort's obsession with conquering death and his quest for immortality at any price, the goal of anyone with magic. I so understand why Voldemort wants to conquer death. We're all frightened of it." [6]immortality [6]

15. Dumbledore has always said that something Voldemort will never have is friendship and love, that he has blocked out his emotions. Love is only way to beat voldemort Harry, Ron, and Hermione have always been inseperable friends since the middle of the first book. They have stuck together through death, and destruction, and some hateful exchanges of jealousy between them. They are the stable in the book, even more than Hogwarts, which we do not see in the 1st half of Deathly Hallows.

18.  The literary critic A. N.

21. “The writer uses words; the film-maker uses pictures” “In a book, a scene is described, in a film a scene is depicted” In books the writer uses:  § narrative  § description  § dialogue  § interior monologues / expression of thoughts  § figurative language (images, metaphors) In films, the film-makers use: § pictures  § ways of shooting: angles, camera movement, scale etc  § lighting, colors, contrasts etc.  § misè-en scene – setting, props, costumes, make-up  § actors and acting – looks, expressions, gestures, movement etc.  § editing  § language  § music  § sound effects 

22. - Chapters in the book missing in the film. - Different chapters in the book mixed in the film. - Scenes in the film with no reference in the book. - Differences in the timeline. - Differences in the dialogue.

23. In the Film 2 Hermione does magic in Diagon Alley when Harry has smashed his glasses. In the movie Lucius says Avada to begin his spell to kill Harry, then Dobby interrupts him and performs magic on him to make him "not hurt Harry Potter"

24. The movie does not show that Ron and Harry get 200 points each and Gryffindor wins the house cup. They never show the part were Harry gets the letter were he gets a warning telling him that he is not allowed to use magic, and they skip that whole thing were the uncle locks him up in his room and tells him that he wont go to Hogwarts and he can't use magic to escape.

25. The first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, was published in the United Kingdom in 1997; a decade later, the last novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, broke all records to become the fastest-selling book in history. The seven novels have been translated into sixty-eight languages, selling over four hundred million copies in more than two hundred countries.

26. The following scene is taken from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows –the final battle between Harry Potter and Voldemort. After watching the scene we will come across the same scene but in the novel it is quiet different.

29. We can observe from the pervious two slides the differences between the same part in the movie and in the novel. locations, and the few words, of Harry and Voldemort's final battle. There's probably a stage play to be made of Harry and Voldemort's showdown as written in the book, just two men circling each other with their wands, talking at length about wand lore and their own personal histories and taunting each other. It's great reading but never would have worked onscreen, and as established in the movies Voldemort is more of a man of action, unlikely to taunt and chat with Harry instead of just "Avada Kedavra"-ing and getting out of there. The filmmakers don't just turn this into a big action sequence, but invest it with meaning by sending Harry and Voldemort running all over the destroyed Hogwarts grounds, from the courtyard where Harry watched Hedwig fly away at the end of the first movie to the observatory deck where he watched Dumbledore die himself.

30. Also we can add that in the movie there is no one but Harry Potter and Voldemort WHILE in the novel the narrator tells us that there is a crowd watching the battle between Harry and Voldemort. Another thing to add, in the movie both of them fall down but in the book there is no mention about it.

31. Thanks For listening
