Harry Potter notesHere are some notes on Harry Potter:
** 1. About the background of the story and the relationship between the characters **
1. The Harry Potter series began with the Dursleys. Mr. Vernon Dursley, Mrs. Dursley, and their son, Dudley, seemed ordinary, but Mrs. Dursley had an unusual sister. The story begins with a series of unusual phenomena, such as the meteor shower in England, the flying owls during the day, the appearance of cloaked monsters, and the rumors of the Potter family. Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Hagrid had dropped little Harry off at the Dursleys 'doorstep and left him a letter, while Harry was still asleep and unaware of his own uniqueness, while the whole nation of Wizardry was gathering in secret to bless the boy who had survived.
2. Harry had spent nearly ten years in the Dursleys 'house, bullied. Dudley, who had been terribly spoiled by his parents, was furious on his birthday that he had received fewer presents than he had the previous year. On the eve of Harry's eleventh birthday, an owl sent him a letter, but Uncle Dursley wouldn't let him read it, and even though the Dursleys tried every means to prevent it from entering, the envelope always found its way into the house.
** 2. About the Magic World and Growing Up **
1. At the end of Harry's eleventh birthday, Hagrid arrived with a birthday cake and a letter of admission to take him back to the Wizarding world. Harry went to Gringotts first to get money, then to Diagon Alley to buy the necessary school supplies, such as wands and Hedwig the owl. He found himself very famous in the Wizarding world, and on the first of September, he set out on his journey from platform 9 ^at King's Station, where he met Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, his two lifelong best friends.
2. The new students were divided into Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin according to their characteristics. When the Sorting Hat wondered whether he should be put in Gryffindor or Slytherin, Harry expressed his reluctance to enter Slytherin and was eventually put in Gryffindor.
3. Harry Potter tells the story of the rise and fall of the magical world over the past seven years. Harry grew up from an 11-year-old boy to a leader who led the magical world to fight for freedom. Facing the death of his family and friends, he still chose to face death, showing a strong sense of justice and perseverance.
** 3. Character characteristics **
1. Snape did not make a good first impression, but he had repeatedly walked on the brink of death to save the lives of wizards, only to be blamed, suspected, and misunderstood.
2. Hermione was a typical good student. She stopped Harry from doing stupid things and actively prepared materials for Hagrid's court case, demonstrating the moral character of keeping promises quickly.
** 4. Regarding the Concept of Education (Take Dumbledore as an example)**
1. During the school song segment after the freshman dinner, Dumbledore did not specify the melody and let everyone choose their favorite tune to sing. At the end, they even applauded the Weasley twins. This reflected his educational philosophy of giving children full freedom to experience the beauty of music. It was similar in his education of Harry. He did not give a direct answer, but only left clues to guide Harry to explore on his own. He favored the kind and daring students, such as James, Lupin, and Harry, but his love of secrecy was controversial. As a headmaster, he lacked communication with other teachers about school ethos and so on. He kept too many secrets, making those close to him easily hurt. Aberforth was a victim.
