Book Update:
The book I am writing about today is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowling. I have read 402 pages of this book so far. So far, it is about Harry, Ron, and Hermione in their third year at Hogwarts, trying to save Hagrid's pet, Buckbeak, and exploring the mystery of Sirius Black. Currently, Harry and Hermione are trying to reverse time and save both Sirius Black and Buckbeak.
Characterization:
The people that have influenced Harry Potter the most are his parents. They were killed by Voldemort when he was just a baby. Harry wants to make them proud because they died for him. Their death also makes him want to find out the truth about Voldemort and defeat him.
Characterization 2:
I think my friends would like Sirius Black because he seems like a very loving godfather to Harry. He offers to let Harry stay in his house, which would be way better than living at the Dursleys. He also comes to check on Harry at Hogwarts in the form of a black dog. Sirius Black also stayed true to himself, and didn't turn evil, even when everyone thought he was evil.
Setting:
In the book, the story takes place in what seems to be current times. It could also take place in the 90's. This time period is similar to the time period I live in because we also have TV's and buses. Both time periods have relatively happy feelings.
Conflict
A conflict that Harry is facing is trying to decide whether Sirius Black is evil or not. Sirius has been portrayed on the news as a very dangerous criminal, but now he is asking Harry to listen to him.
Connection:
An issue that was raised in this book is whether to trust magic or not. Professor Trelawney says many things about the future that some students, and even Dumbledore are skeptical of. I have seen this issue raised in real life because some people believe in fortune tellers and some think they are just crazy. It's up to us to decide what we believe in and be accepting of others.
