Introduction

 

I have choose to write about Harry Potter in this assignment, that’s beacause I love all the books about him and his magical school. Before I read the first book i was very critical, but when I read it i was caught in the middle of it all. I read the first book in a few days, and just kept going with the next one, it’s almost like drougs, it feels like you don’t can get enough of it. And Harry Potter you can’t get enough of! He is so speciall, and it happens a lot of exiting things around him all the time! It didn’t take me even a year to read out the first 4 books, and i read them several times! Then in 2003 the fifth book arrived, I didn’t have time to wait for the book in norwegian so i read it in english. It was quit interesting to read a book in a another language, and I don’t regret it at all!


 

In this assignment i have focused at the author, Joanne Kathleen Rowling. All the books of Harry Potter who is given out. And Harry Potter himself and his friends. If I was expected to write a longer assignment I would have wrote more about the actors in the movies, and more about all the exiting and weard things at Hogwarts, you just have to read about to understand. For example the game Qudditch, and all the different “houses”, Harry Potter and his friends is in Griffindor, and their enemies is called Slytherin for example. And the hat who is choosing their houses.

 

I think it have been fun to work with this assignment, even though I didn’t learn much, beacause I knew all from the start.

 

 

Joanne Kathleen Rowling

 

Joanne Kathleen Rowling was born 31th of july 1965 in Chipping Sodbury near Bristol. When Rowling was 9 years old, she and her family moved to Tutshill in Southern-Wales. A mountain with a castle on the top rises ower this town, and might have gave Rowling an idea of how Hogwarts looks. Many of the characters in the books of Harry Potter is made of things or persones Rowling has seen or knewn. Like a teacher who didn’t like Rowling so much has contributed to form the character Severus Snape.

Rowling has seen she was a child wanted to be an author, but she didn’t tell anyone of this dream. At a age of 8, she wrote her first short story.

 

A weekend when Rowling and her housband was on a train trip from London to Manchester, suddenly a boy popped up in her head. Harry Potter. On the way to Manchester, Ron, Nearly Headless Nick, Hagrid ans Peeves also came up. Rowling was very excidet, and when she came home she started to plan the books of Harry Potter.

It took Rowling ove 5 years to plan the seria. The hardest was to decide what the 7 books was going to concerne about.

The first agent Rowling mailed the manuscript to, sent it in return. The same happened with the first publisher she sent the manuscript to. After a while, looking for a agent and a publisher a man with the name Chritopher Little turned up, he was a agent and liked Rowlings books. And one year later he found a publisher for her.

In july in 1997 the first book was released, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. To Rowlings big surprise the book sold well, and she was thrilled.

 

Rowling worked hard to finish the secound book, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Cecrets, but she made it. And the book almost got to the top of the “best seller list”, something Rowling thought was very amazing.

The third book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was a bigger surprise for Rowling, because now kids stood in lines outside bookstores to buy her book.

 

Fame has a price, also for Rowling. She is very happy that she now has enough money to write in full time. But she would gladly give away some of her money to get some space and quet to write.

 

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was realesed on july 8, 2000. and it became a major celebration. The book sold an unprecented three million copies in the first 48 hours. And was selected to “the fastes selling book in history” by the publishers weekly.

 

 

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

 

Harry Potter has never heard about wizards, he don’t know any spells. He has never been a star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far away from the ground. He has never helped to catch a dragon, and has never weard a cloak of invisibility.

 

All Harry knows of is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their son, Dudley, who is a big swollen spoiled bully. His aunt and uncle has told him that his parents died in a car accident, and that’s why he have to live with the Dursleys. Harry’s room is a closet at the foot of the stairs, and he has never celebrated his birthday on eleven years.

 

Harry is pretty much a regular boy, with glasses, black straight hair, and ears who is a size to big. But it’s something different about Harry, he has a sigzag scar on his forhead, and sometimes something weard and unexpected happens around him. And he can wake up in the middle of the night by his forhead and his scar is burning.

 

At his eleventh birthay someting unexpected happens, a letter comes to Harry. But his aunt and uncle won’t let him se it. Many letters arives, through the chimney and through the window. His aunt and uncle decides they are going on a trip to an island with Harry and his cousin Dudley. At the island a big man called Hagrid arives, and his aunt and uncle looks terrified. This Hagrid tells Harry that he is a wizard. Harry don’t understand at all, and Hagrid thought the Dudleys had told him about his wizard parents, who is now dead, but famous. And that Harry himself is the only one who has survived the Dark Lord Voldemort. The darkest wizard ever, who tried to take over the whole world. But suddenly disapeard when he tried to kill Harry, at the same time he killed Harrys parents. So Hagrid start to tell Harry about his parents and the “other world” of wizards. Hagrid finishes with telling him that he is going to go at a wizard school, called Hogwart School of Witchcraft and Wizardy, where his parent went as young.

 

Finaly Harry is getting away from his terrible aunt and uncle, and specially his cousin Dudley. He starts at his first year of seven at Hogwart School of Witchcraft and Wizardy.

Ron Weasley, Harry Potter and Hermoine Granger

 

 

Ron Weasley

 

Ron Weasly is redhaired, short-tempered, and loves a little action. He is also youngest of six sons, and has a younger sister. All of his brothers has been at Hogwarts, or is there now. The Weasleys is a very old wizardfamily, but not very rich, so the youngest boy always inherited clothes, schoolbooks and worned out magic wands.


Allready at the Hogwart-express at track 9 ¾ at Kings Cross Station in London to Hogwarts, Ron and Harry got friends. Weld together of Bertram Butts AlltastesBeans with foolowing flavours: Choclate, pepermint, snot and poop, and of common aversion against their disgusting clasmate Draco Malfoy. This is good for Harry, to be sure Ron is not a geek, but he knows a lot of things about the world of magic that is totally unknown for Harry. And has he first got to be a friend with a Weasley, he is almost a part of their family.

Hermoine Granger

 

Hermoine Granger is totally the oppisite of Ron, on any ways. She ain’t born in a wizard family, but of two dentists. But everything Ron knows about the world of magic Heromine knows better, because she studie hard, she is the cleverset in every subject you can read you to. She is also prim and strict. And do not talk about it, she’s a girl. At the Hogwart express she is immediatly out with her forefinger to Ron and Harry, so they didn’t got bestfriends with her, then. But it didn’t last long before she is the third one in the clover. It’s pretty nice with one who has bone in her nose and bought feets landed on the ground, and really knows what she is talking about.

Hagrid

 

Hagrid is possibly about two meter tall and quit as broad. It’s not easy to look behind all the black hair and the beard. He is a forest ranger and Harrys loyal friend from the very beginning. Hagrid has an unluckily love to magic, because he hasn’t alove to do magic. He was infact expelled from Hogwart in his youth. Therefor he aint a expert on writing or other things at school. But his hart has place to the most – specially small, cute fire-spitting dragon-kids ( it doesn’t mather that they are going to be around 20 meters high) And of course Harry and his friends. The forest ranger-door is always open for them, and if they are really unlucky Hagrid has baked stonecakes to them to, which is just like the name says.
