Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

full title ·  Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (originally titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone)

author · J. K. Rowling

type of work · Novel

genre · Children’s book, fantasy tale

language · English

time and place written ·  1990s, Scotland

date of first publication  ·  1997

publisher · Bloomsbury Children’s Books

narrator · The story is narrated by a detached third-person observer close to the action, but not involved in it.

point of view · For most of the story, the narrator, who knows everything about all of the characters, generally stays close to Harry Potter’s point of view, registering surprise when Harry is surprised and fear when Harry is afraid. But while Harry is a baby in the first chapter, the narrator takes the point of view of Mr. Dursley, who is perplexed by signs of wizards around town. The shift in point of view from a Muggle’s perspective to a wizard’s emphasizes the difference between the two worlds.

tone · As fitting for a children’s book, the tone is straightforward and simple, with few purely decorative elements or artistic features, few metaphors and figures, and little playful irony. The language is easy to grasp. The narrator never imposes moral judgments on any characters, even the wicked Voldemort, but allows us full freedom to praise or condemn.

tense · Past

setting (time) · An unspecified time, modern and roughly contemporary (late 1990s)

setting (place) · Surrey, England, and the Hogwarts wizardry academy

protagonist · Harry Potter

major conflict · Harry attempts to stop Voldemort, who killed Harry’s parents, from stealing the Sorcerer’s Stone.

rising action  · Harry’s arrival at Hogwarts, the news of the break-in at Gringotts, and Hermione’s revelation of the trapdoor under the guard dog in the third-floor corridor bring Harry and Voldemort closer to confrontation.

climax · Professor Snape’s apparent hex on Harry during the Quidditch game brings the simmering tension between good and evil out into the open, shifting Harry’s concern from winning the game to surviving.

falling action · With the conflict out in the open, the forces of good and the forces of evil draw closer together: Harry, Ron, and Hermione explore the school and learn about the Sorcerer’s Stone; Voldemort drinks unicorn blood to sustain himself and attacks Harry in the Forbidden Forest; Harry faces Professor Quirrell and Voldemort, who orders Quirrell to kill Harry.

themes · The value of humility, the occasional necessity of rebellion, the dangers of desire

motifs · Muggles, points, authority

symbols · Harry’s scar, Quidditch, the Mirror of Erised

foreshadowing · The pain that Harry feels at the end of Chapter 7 when Snape stares at him hints that there is some underlying tension between the two. Rowling exploits our misgivings about Snape by leading us to believe that he and Harry will eventually confront each other in a climactic battle for the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

full title · Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

author · J.K. Rowling

type of work · Children's novel

genre · Fantasy, coming-of-age, detective fiction

language · English

time and place written · 1999, Edinburgh

date of first publication · 1999

publisher · Scholastic Inc.

narrator · Third person, following Harry

point of view · Although the narrative is written in third person, we see from Harry's point of view. We have witness his private thoughts, although most of the narration focuses on external occurrences rather than Harry's psychology.

tone · The tone is matter-of-fact, and the author's fondness for the heroes is clear.

tense · Past

setting (time) · Present-day

setting (place) · England, primarily in the fictional hidden wizard communities and at Hogwarts School

protagonist · Harry Potter

major conflict · Harry, Ron, and Hermione discover and destroy the creature that is coming out of the Chamber of Secrets and petrifying students.

rising action · A series of tragedies occur. One student after another is attacked and turned to stone; Ginny Weasley disappears into the Chamber.

climax · Harry, after a series of discoveries and mishaps, finally ends up inside the Chamber only to discover that Tom Riddle, whose diary and voice he had trusted up to this point, is another form of Voldemort, and the cause of all the attacks.

falling action · Harry defeats Voldemort inside the Chamber and explains his adventure to the teachers and Ginny's parents. The school calmly returns to its usual safe and contented state.

themes · Tolerance Community Connectedness The Importance of Choices

motifs · Culprit Framing Foreshadowing

symbols · Names Images of Warmth

foreshadowing · Expelliarmus, originating as a simple dueling club spell, in the end becomes a life-saver for Harry and Ron. The Dursleys' bigotry against Harry for being magical is echoed later by the Malfoy's bigotry against everyone except pure blood wizards. Everything happens for a reason in this book-the ability to keep the plot so tight is part of the author's magic-and so the story moves in a circular fashion. Harry begins and ends at Privet Drive with the Dursleys, advice is given and then proven useful, Dumbledore's phoenix rises from the ashes, and Harry defeats Voldemort once more.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

full title ·  Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

author · J.K. Rowling

type of work · Children's novel

genre · Fantasy, coming-of-age, detective fiction

language · English

time and place written · 1999, Edinburgh

date of first publication · 1999

publisher · Scholastic Inc.

narrator · Third person, following Harry

point of view · Although the narrative is written in third person, we see the things that Harry sees, from Harry's point of view. We have the liberty to witness his private thoughts, although most of the point of view is observing occurrences outside of Harry, not inside.

tone · The tone is quite matter-of-fact, using dialogue and description to portray characters with a very clear fondness or lack thereof.

tense · Past

setting (time) · Present-day

setting (place) · England, primarily in the fictional hidden wizard communities and at Hogwarts School

protagonist · Harry Potter is the hero and protagonist. The story follows his adventures and growing-up process.

major conflict · The major conflict is the search to catch Sirius Black, an escaped convict from the wizard prison Azkaban, to protect Harry from him, and for Harry to come to terms with Black's supposed role in his own parents' death.

rising action · The rising action involves a series of appearances of Sirius Black within Hogwarts and even inside Gryffindor tower, where Harry lives and sleeps; these appearances are intermingled with several fearful sightings of a large black dog, believed to signify death.

climax · The climax is the moment when Harry follows the black dog down a hole in the Whomping Willow to discover that the dog is in fact Sirius Black in animal form, and that Sirius himself is innocent and must have his name cleared before it is too late.

falling action · The falling action occurs when Harry and Hermione turn back time to liberate Sirius Black as well as Buckbeak, a hippogriff convicted of savagery, and during the time after their success, during which everything at Hogwarts returns to normal. During this time, everything is tied up and made to fit neatly into the plot.

themes · Injustice of Legal System Duality of Life Importance of Loyalty

motifs · Culprit Framing Foreshadowing of Evidence

symbols · Names Quidditch as a social indicator

foreshadowing · When Professor Lupin is fighting the Boggart, it turns into a silvery orb; Lupin is sick once a month, and the evil Professor Snape gives a substitute lecture on werewolves. All of these events ultimately foreshadow Lupin's identity as a werewolf. Furthermore, Black breaks into Harry's bedroom but slashes Ron's bed, not Harry's; Scabbers loses hair when Sirius Black is on the loose, and he wiggles wildly when the black dog and Crookshanks come near. These events lead up to the realization that Black is not after Harry but rather Ron's rat, Scabbers, who is in reality the disguise of a man named Peter Pettigrew. Hermione is reported to be present at three classes at the exact same time; therefore it is not a shock when we learn that she has been tampering with time.

foreshadowing · The chapter in which Sirius Black appears in his animagus form is the same one in which Harry suggests that Rita Skeeter could have them bugged, which leads to Hermione's realization that Rita is an animagus. The fact that a beetle is casually buzzing around during each of the important events that Rita documents provides further foreshadowing for her identity.
