Web quest: Harry Potter (Students’ Handout)
Wwyp, carry out following tasks with the help of internet search engines:
1) Find at least three good web resources for the following topic/s.
2) Find key arguments for the discourse on the given topic/s
3) Note down illustrations from Harry Potter for the arguments
WE have to chose any three topics and write about that....
1) Feminist reading of Hermione's character in Harry Potter:
2) Discourse on the purity of Blood and Harry Potter:
One of the problems in the Wizarding world is intolerance and prejudice based on the “purity” of a person’s wizarding blood. Wizards distinguish between purebloods, Muggle Blood and half blood. Sirius Black's parents and brother, were first drawn to support Voldemort because he preached a message of intolerance toward non-pure-bloods. Voldemort, who pushes a pure-bloods philosophy, is a half-blood himself. It is possible that his followers do not realize this, since Bellatrix acted as though Harry were uttering blasphemy when he mentioned that fact to her. It is also interesting, according to Dumbledore, that when Voldemort chose which child to attack of the two who fit the prophecy, Voldemort chose the half-blood like himself as being the more dangerous.The term ‘pure-blood’ refers to a family or individual without Muggle (non-magic) blood.
Non-magic people, commonly known as Muggles. Harmaoine Granger is muggle because his parents have no know any magic.
3) Children's literature and Harry Potter:
Harry Potter is not reality but it is what something beyond reality. At very first only a simple and single question came in reader’s mind that what is Children’s literature? So in simple words we can give definition of it that that which literature contains stories like fairy tales, poems, some books which can entertain children with some beautiful message, is known as Children’s Literature. The whole series covers so many elements like, fantasy, young and adult fiction, mystery, thriller, bildungsroman, magical realism. If any child read ‘Harry Potter’ then he or she can get enough state of entertainment from any part of this novel. This novel is also written in very easy English language and because of it any child who can read and understand easy English can read the entire series. Children use to read this series with more imaginative power and reality and so they even can connect their self with characters of the novel and that thing drags them into magical world of Harry Potter. Adult person may not believe that this thing can ever happen but for young children, Harry Potter is like a friend which can do some magic and they even imagine that once they can also be in the real world of Harry Potter they can do the same magic tricks and many more.
4) Theme of choice and chance:
Choice and Chance both are at the center Harry Potter in his childhood survived that was his fate.It was not a choice of voldemort to spare him. Sacrificing life for Harry that was their mother's choice. but harry survived that was chance. The sacrificing or always live with danger for others that was harry's choice and to always be there for friend that was the choice of Hermione and Ron. The capability of Harry to kill Voldemort was chance for Dumbledore to choose Harry for this work. Ron gets a chance to prove himself as a little bit Able that happen by his choice of being friend of Harry.
Voldemort an harry both have same abilities but it's choice that makes them different. harry choose good way and voldemort choose bad way. person's choices defines the different. In Harry potter series many characters choose own way. some are choose good like Neville and some choose bad like peter pettigrew. In a way it is upon us what we are chooses.
5) Moral and philosophical reading:
6) Self Help book :
7) The Discourse of power and politics :
8) Children 's Literature:
9) Speculative Fiction:
10) Theme of Love and Death :
love is one of the central theme of the novel. Harry stands for love, friendship and bravery. In the first part Harry and the Philisopher's Stone we see that harry's mother sacrifices for her son. That's why he was able to defeatedthe quirrell. In the end of the part Order of Pheonix we see that voldemort and harry both are same but harry's love for his friend make him to different.Death also played an important role in the novel. many characters are died till at the end. In the Goblet of Fire we see the death of Cedric by voldemort and after Bellatrix killed sirius black ( harry's godfather). Dumbaldore also died in the part Half Blood Prince. voldemort has no trust to anyone. so he has his soul 7 peace and took differnt place. It called horcrux. Harry and his friend destory this horcrux.voldemort was unable to touch harry because of the protection of lily potter's loving self sacrifice.so love and death are major theme in the novel.
