Prompt one: Getting into character


While reading the first two books of Harry Potter, I feel like I lose myself in it.  Yes, I can relate to the characters in many ways.  Mostly because I’m an odd ball myself, but I find myself in side the book.  I can picture myself being Hermione.  Being more than just into her studies because sometimes I find myself going beyond what is required of me.  For me, it’s so easy for me to imagine how I would be as each character. Also I remember when I was like Nevil in book one when he tried to stop Hermione, Ron, and Harry into leaving to go and search for the sorcerer’s stone because I was once put into that same situation myself.  I find it easier to adapt to the characters.  I picture myself in the characters situations.
            I feel like it’s so easy for people to relate to the characters.  Even though it is a magical world, their world is exactly the same as ours.  They have classes of people, like we have the rich and poor; the magical world has pure blood and mud bloods.  I also think we can relate a lot of the characters to real life people that we may know.  For example, I feel like I have my own very Professor Snape.  Quidditch is another example of how reality and magic are alike.  Quidditch is like football or soccer; people get excited about it. In conclusion, I think we all can relate to the Harry Potter books, because people can easily relate to the characters and situations.
