The Harry Potter series have been an interesting series for me ever since I have enrolled in Professor Fox’s class. I personally have not read any of the Harry Potter series during my childhood, but once I have enrolled in Professor Fox’s class I have recently just finished Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Throughout my readings of these two books I have had many observations on certain aspects of the story that I would not have noticed when I was younger. These three aspects that I can’t imagine as a child noticing is how the Dursleys abused Harry, the stance on gender, and prejudgement based on appearance.

The movie series improved as it advanced through the book series. From the first to eighth movie, the three characters Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley started as a kid to teenagers. Their problems started to get more complex as they grew up throughout the movies. Even though the characters as kids were so young, they were able to personify the book characters. Harry Potter and his friends has gained more experience every time they played their role in the movie.
