Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J K Rowling

Harry Potter is growing up in the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire we all realize it’s inevitable yet we all still loved his innocence when he was just eleven. Harry is fourteen now, and frankly life can be pretty tricky at that age. It is surprising for Harry to find out that her friend Hermione is the most important part of the life of the International Quidditch star Viktor Krum. Ron doesn’t like it one bit, and he is also jealous of Harry too because he is richer and more popular (or should we say famous?).

Focus of the Hatred of Dark Lord

Harry Potter is also the focus of hatred of Lord Voldemort (the dark lord). Voldemort is slowly getting his powers back and he is also calling his old associates back too. He just needs a body and he will become irresistible evil for the world and will become its ruler too. He just needs Harry Potter’s blood to get his new body.

Will Harry Come Out Alive?

The suspense is all about which associate of the Dark Lord will be able to get through the defences of Dumbledore. How much danger is Harry facing when he is nominated to participate in the Triwizard Tournament? Harry is a decent guy, and it helps if he is engaged in a fight against the evil forces, but battling the Dark Lord in a duel is another story altogether. Is it possible for him to come out alive?

The Story Progresses Gradually

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a long book (600 pages) and the first 400 pages just tell you the story of routine everyday life in the world of magic. The story progresses gradually and those who prefer tight stories may become impatient with it. The climax of the book (moving and powerful) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is brilliant and the journey feels worth it.

It’s Getting Darker

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, at the age of fourteen, Harry seems ready to act as per his destiny. Although the author had warned the readers previously that the next book would be darker in nature, the fact remains even earlier parts of the book had their dark elements and Harry’s brush with death had a very real feel to it, thus endearing the Harry Potter series to the readers. He also faced near death at the hands of followers of Lord Voldemort and was just saved in time by his godfather and partly due to his own ingenuity. Still, Lord Voldemort is a determined character and he has the will to go all the way to get Harry Potter get out of his way.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Concludes Boy Wizard’s Tale

With the upcoming 3D release of the seventh and final story in the well beloved Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it seems as if an important and entertaining era is ending. The unlikely hero and wizard, Harry Potter, along with his wizarding friends, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley have taken a generation by storm, creating voracious readers out of previously reluctant students.

By now, the story behind the fantastical, mythical and magical Harry Potter series of books is well known to fans and critiques alike. The now renowned and popular author of the series, J.K. Rowling studied at the University of Exeter where she succumbed to parental pressure and learned French (which gave her a year of schooling in France) instead of the English she wanted to study. It’s often told that as a single mother she spent time writing the story of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in local cafes, but the reality is the idea for Harry Potter fell into her lap, so to speak, while traveling back to London after searching for a flat in Manchester, well before her daughter was born. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a working pen on that ride. Even though J.K. Rowling had been telling and writing stories for as long as she could remember, no previous ideas were as exciting as the story she began inventing that very night. It was the death of her mother however, that really shaped the story and character of Harry Potter.

It wasn’t until 1996, after the birth of her daughter (and subsequent divorce from her Portuguese husband), that Ms. Rowling had a finished manuscript. Sending off the first three chapters to an agent, its prompt return and lack of interest was daunting, but fortunately, the second agent was interested and asked to see the whole manuscript. It took another year before the agent actually found an interested publisher, and the rest is publishing history.

The first three books in the series Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban broke publishing records, and the release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth book in the series, set new records. And of course, the final three books of the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and finally, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, have all continued to set publishing records, rapidly creating fans from children and parents alike.

The Harry Potter series has received numerous book awards over the years, including Publishers Weekly Best Book of 1998 for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the Hugo Award for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Newsweek’s Best Book of the Year for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, along with numerous other prestigious awards.

As if that isn’t enough, the book series has been brought life in wildly popular film adaptations, and the eagerly anticipated seventh (and eighth) final installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is due to be released in two parts, beginning in November 2010. Fans of the series were delighted to learn that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows would be released in two parts, so that nothing important is left out or changed. In addition, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be the first of the series filmed for both 2D and 3D release, and will be released in wide-screen IMAX format as well. Nation wide release is slated for the first film on November 19, 2010 and eight months later, the second film will be released on July 15, 2011.

Harry Potter Party Favors Ensure Your Party Is A Magical Affair

Do you want your child to experience the wonderful world of Harry Potter during their next birthday party? Why not consider providing Harry Potter Party Favors boxes to all of the attendees of the party. Not only will it make them feel like they are in Harry magical world, but it will also help them remember the party for a long time after they have left.

As you know, there is nobody that does not enjoy receiving a special gift, and that is just what a party favor is. From weddings, baby showers, Christmas parties and birthday parties, a party favor can be provided to your guests to let them know how much you enjoyed their attendance at your function. There are no rules for the giving of these gifts, and they can be provided any time you are having a special gathering.

Party favors also serve as a reminder of the occasion for the person who receives it. So in the days, weeks and months to come, they can look at the gifts that they received in their party favors box and remember what a great time they had helping you celebrate the occasion. However for kids birthday parties, the kids birthday party favors can be filled with small gifts and small tokens of your appreciation, so they do not need to be overly expensive.

Incredibly, the Harry Potter party favor box is a reusable themed box that includes a sticker sheet of Harry Potter characters including Ron and Hermoine, a plush owl bean bag, a pair of Harry Potters glasses a glow stick and a lightning bolt tattoo. All of these items and more make this box a wonderful gift for the people that attend your childs party.

Harrys character has kept the world mesmerized for years upon years now, and children just love to pay dress up and impersonate the magical world in which Harry Potter lives. With all of the potions, witchcraft, spells, fantastic characters and overall mystique, it is no wonder that so many people, especially children, love to immerse themselves into this world and act out their favorite character.

There are lots of Harry Potter party supplies that are available to help you organize a great theme like mylar balloons, wizard hat pitas, themed cups, plates and tableware. So if your child is enchanted with Harry Potters world, then a themed part of gift box such as this would be just wonderful for them.

Plus, to add real fun and excitement to the party, you could ask all of your guests to come dressed as their favorite character from the series, whether it be Harry Potter, Hermione or Ron, and provide presents and prizes for the best dressed. There is little doubt that both your child and all of the guests would remember that for a long time.

We know that organizing and hosting parties can be very stressful, and this is another time when a Harry Potter Party favor box helps out, as they are so easy to order, and there is no need to worry about what to put into the box, as al lot the hard work has already been done for you. And the children that receive them will absolutely love them and will enjoy them man times long after they have left the party.

Purley Woman But?

PURLEY WOMAN BUT:THE CASE OF MRS. RAMSAY IN

VIRGINIA WOOLFS TO THE LIGHTHOUSE

Dr. Ernest L. VEYU

The idea of the woman as an estranged and non-conformist person is one of the concerns of Virginia Woolf in To the Lighthouse. Mrs Ramsay leads a life that, in all respects is feminine. She is a traditional woman in a modern setting and a zealous matchmaker in a system where marriage is scorned. She rejects the academic world of her husband and inwardly wants to escape from the tyranny of her husband and societal injustice. Her early and sudden death is a form of exile. No sooner is she with people, than she wants to go away. Virginia Woolf remarks that, It was her instinct to go, an instinct like the swallows for the south, the artichokes for the sun (Lighthouse 196).

Although she invites very many people to live with them, to the point that the house is always full, she only tolerates company. People to her are like words to a poet or paint and brush to the painter. As soon as she is done with them, she forgets about them, but remains with the satisfaction of having shaped their destinies (Lighthouse 50).

Her mindset, manner and handling of her husband, children, the guests in the house and lifes situations in general, are artistic. Since hers is a mastery of life, Gideon Muluh has rightly called her a proficient artist of life. When she is not there, things fall apart and get beyond correlation (Majumdar and MacLaurin 196).

She is involved in the lives of others, always with the intention of influencing them and altering their lives. She is a fervent believer in the eternal value of the woman, of marriage, and childbearing. Hermione Lee says she is beautiful, queenly, short-sighted, philanthropic and inventive. Her intimacy with her children nourishes her natural tendency towards fantasy and exaggeration. She is associated with poetry and rests on the hard realities of a mans world like a child (118).

We get to learn from Mrs. Ramsay that there is an art and a joy in being a mother. She is of the same mind as Gorge Allen who celebrates the role of the mother in childbearing, child upbringing and its contribution to nation building. He is of the opinion that if women realised how noble and important a task it is that falls upon mothers, they would ask no other. If they realised how magnificent a nation might be moulded by mothers who devoted themselves faithfully and earnestly to their great privilege, they would be proud to carry out the duties of maternity (29-30). She is indeed proud of being a mother, yet her motherliness is done with something otherworldly; with a form of inward detachment and freedom.

In her service to her husband and to the male gender as a whole, her aim is to better their condition. When she looks at the men sitting round her dinner table, she realises she must do something, in her right as artist of life, to help them. She notices that nothing seems to hold with the men as they sit before her. Without being forced, she knows that it is all left to her to do something about it:

The whole of the effort of merging and flowing rested on her. Again she felt as a fact without hostility, the sterility of men, for if she did not do it, nobody will do it, and so, giving herself the little shake one gives a watch that has stopped, the old familiar pulse began (Lighthouse 84.)

Bettering the male folk is at the back of Virginia Woolfs mind, and she seems to let Mrs. Ramsay carry it through. Bernard Blackstone is of the opinion that Woolf is not out to canonise her sex as a whole, but to portray the change in the woman that has to free the male intellect from its conceptual chains and to enrich and fertilise it (28). Mrs. Ramsay does this perfectly well, without subjecting herself to the entire stream of the male chauvinism around her.

Mrs. Ramsay, for all she does and for all her involvement in the lives of others, remains in her own world. She does to others what Virginia Woolf believes the artist should do expose himself or herself to life and yet be detached from it (Qtd. in Ford 257). She reaches out to others only to return to her world of intuition. She too, like the modern artist, has her subtle way of being estranged and non-conformist.

Mrs. Ramsay seems to have no roots. Nothing is ever told about her youth, infancy and parentage. We do not know what she is called before she gets married. She tells no story about herself as Charles Tansley and the others do. She arranges for people to marry but no one ever knows exactly how she comes into her own marriage. From that background, she is eternally distant and foreign. Her past is an inviolable possession.

When we would have associated her with London, she moves to Hebrides. In this move away from London, though it be called only a resort home, she has rejected the bustle of the town. When she has to go shopping in town, it is called a dull errand. From Hebrides, her wish is to go to the lighthouse. When denied her, or when circumstances do not unite in favour of this trip, she is determined to go somewhere else: she dies.

It is worthwhile to state that in modern literature, death is a means unto personal emancipation. In Kate Chopins The Awakening, Edna Pontellier goes swimming and wilfully swims on eternally. This is her way of escaping from what she can bear no more. Virginia Woolf did the same. Death becomes an escape route to the woman. Cirlot describes death exactly in terms of liberation: Death is a supreme state of liberation. In the positive sense then, this enigma symbolises the transformation of all things, the progress of evolution, dematerialization (78).

In To the Lighthouse, there is a close association of Mrs. Ramsay and the bird of escape, as seen below:

And she opened the book and began reading here and there at random, and as she did so she felt that she was climbing backwards, shoving her way up under petals that curved over her, so that she only knew this is white, this is redShe read and turned the pages, swinging herself, zigzagging this way and that, from one line to another, from one red and white flower to another, until a little sound roused her (Lighthouse 119.)

This little sound that rouses her is made by her husband as though in an intuitive desperate attempt to trap her back to himself. But soon again, she is in the same mood and desire for flight and climbing up branches; this way and that, laying hands on one flower and then on anothershe was ascending, she felt, on to the top, on to the summit. How satisfying! How restful! (Lighthouse 119).

The purpose of her flight is an attempt to find a better life, a better abode, away from the poverty, from the inadequacy of human relationships, from the green house bill, from the oppressive demands of her husband and the lot of other such things. All the odds of everyday life generally stick to her mind. When she is conscious of these odds, she thinks of the birds in the trees and the distant moon as though wishing to fly there. Her sudden death is most likely the accomplishment of this flight motif.

It is part of her childrens play to rout out the birds and cause them to fly away. She enjoys watching the birds under the threat of her kids, especially the two birds that she names John and Mary. At one of such moments, she is looking out of the window, and sees the following scene:

The rooks trying to decide which tree to settle on. Every time they seemed to change their minds and rose up to the air again, because, she thought, the old rook, the father rook, old Joseph was her name for him, was a bird of trying and difficult disposition. He was a disreputable old bird, with half his wing feathers missingthey were actually fighting, Joseph and Mary were actually fighting. Anyhow they all went up again, and the air was shoved aside by their black wings cut into exquisite scimitar shapes (Lighthouse 80.)

Old Joseph can be no one else but her husband; a bird of trying and difficult disposition. She sees no escape for her Joseph, with half his wing feathers missing. However, she envisages the possibility of her own flight with bliss: The movement of the wings beating out, out, out she could never describe it accurately enough to please herself was one of the loveliest to her (Lighthouse 80).

During dinner, in the crowd of her children and the visitors, she feels herself in an eddy and drifting away. She lives with a sense of being past everything, out of everything. Jasper Ramsay remarks that their mother lives in another division of the world (Lighthouse 81).

Mrs. Ramsays desire to withdraw, to be alone is stronger than one would suspect from a casual reading of the text. Lily Briscoe, an artist, is quick to take note of it. She discovers that Mrs. Ramsay is drifting into the strange no-mans world where to follow people is impossible and yet their going inflicts a chill on those who watch them go. She wishes she could follow Mrs. Ramsay in this flight of hers, but cannot. Like the rest, she can only follow her with her eyes as one follows a fading ship until the sails have sunk beneath the horizon (Lighthouse 84).

What has been celebrated by many critics as the submission and obedience of Mrs. Ramsay is actually the artists withdrawal from conflict and stress, but not resignation to a subservient position. Deep down of her, she holds differing opinions and notions, shielded by her desire to manage men and situations. Outwardly, she chooses what the men like as expressed in Chaucers The Merchants Tale, where a woman should help her man to drudge, set guard upon his goods and check the waste; all that her husband likes is to her taste, she never once says no when he says yes. Do this, says he; already done, she says (377).

This is exactly the kind of obedience Mr. Ramsay requires and this also is the kind of obedience Mrs. Ramsay sets out to offer him, but in the long run, she is the key to his life in almost everything. In stooping to him, she conquers. Mr. Ramsay;

Wanted to be taken within the circle of life, warmed and soothed, to have his senses restored to him, his barrenness made fertile, and all the rooms of the house made full of life the drawing room, the kitchen; above the kitchen the bedrooms; and beyond them the nurseries, they must be filled with life (Lighthouse 37.)

Her traditional shade of the woman is also a rejection of the current turn in the relationship between the sexes in her milieu. She is an opponent to uncertain change in the face of an evolving society. Since it is unsure and uncertain where these changes will lead to, she prefers the security of the conventional woman. She prefers the detached tranquillity of the home; no job to run to, no queries to answer, and no meetings to attend.

She loves the company of children as a means of escape from the complex world of the mature. She wishes they do not grow so she may forever keep her refuge in them. Her question is: Why should they grow up so fast? Why should they go to school? She also thinks if they grow, they will not be as happy anymore. In her thinking, the fully grown and mature are a sad lot. Therefore, she chooses out of that community by wishing that her children do not grow, and by withdrawing from it herself.

Her interest in the marriage of others and the endless struggle to make matches are also a desperate attempt to flee her own difficult marriage, with an overbearing husband. When the affair she is arranging for Paul and Minta begins to succeed, she is happy with the happiness she would have had for the success of her own marriage. Her joy is expressed in the passage that follows:

Mrs. Ramsay became like a girl of twenty, full of gaiety. A mood of revelry soon took possession of her. Of course they must go; of course they must go, she cried, laughing; and running down the last three or four steps quickly, she began turning from one to the other and laughing and drawing Mintas wrap round her and saying she only wished she could come too (Lighthouse 116-117.)

Since her beauty is part of her charm, she often withdraws to ensure by mirror and make-up that she is distinctly beautiful. She stands distinguished from the other women and admired by all the men around her. She thinks that she is a unique creature, such that the ill-treatment from her husband does not alter her self-image.

She would be in a crowd, and then make off at once with a sense of secrecy to do something alone. She does not cut herself away from the society with as severing a blade as do Mr. Carmichael and Lily Briscoe , since she must be in the midst of people in order to influence then.

She is purely woman in every aspect of the word, but does not suffer the loss of her identity, and the exercise of her talents. In her own shade, she does better by submission, what the modern woman generally chooses to do by rebellion. Through her life, Virginia Woolf suggests that submission could be a tool for emancipation in the hands of a well-meaning woman.

The House of Ravenclaw

The House of Ravenclaw is one of four houses of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Like the other three houses, Ravenclaw possesses special features that set it apart from the others. The Ravenclaw students are assigned here only if they meet the criteria of the founder of this house. Ravenclaws must be very intelligent and willing to put forth the effort to learn

It is strange to think that the Sorting Hat did not put Hermione Granger into the House of Ravenclaw, since Hermione is undoubtedly one of the brightest students at the school. Perhaps the Hat realized that her other characteristics, such as bravery, loyalty, and unalterable commitment to being a good person, would stand her in good stead in the House of Gryffindor. It is probably a good thing she did end up with Ron and Harry in Gryffindor, because these three have an important role to play in defeating the Dark Lord, and it is good they found each other early in their school career.

Founded by Rowena Ravenclaw (a lady coming from Glen, known for her creativity as well as her superior intelligence), this is the house that encourages those students who are wise and sharp, and have great wits and capability for learning. In other words, this is the house for the “nerdy”. Its bronze- and blue-colored blazon depicts a golden colored eagle, against a field of blue.

This house, located in the “Ravenclaw Tower”, has its common room situated in the west section of the Hogwarts castle. In the major events and contests between houses, such as Quidditch matches, Ravenclaw students dress in blue. The house ghost is The Grey Lady, a woman with outstanding intellect, who could not find herself a true love.

The head of the House of Ravenclaw is Professor Filius Flitwick, known for his short height and squeaky voice. This Charms teacher is one of those teachers respected by students, in spite of his nature that is at times known to be quite sensitive. This is mostly because of the calm placid manner in which he deals with his students. Among the most prominent figures from this house during Harry Potter’s tenure at Hogwarts are Filius Flitwick, Luna Lovegood, Penelope Clearwater, Padma Patil, Roger Davis, Terry Boot, Lisa Turpin, and Anthony Goldstein. Among these students of the House of Ravenclaw, one of the major attractions is Cho Chang, who continues to remain Harry’s love interest for several of his years at Hogwarts. Another notable character is Luna Lovegood. While sometimes considered strange because of her perpetually dreamy looks and unconventional opinions, Harry finds her comfortable to be around, and she becomes part of his close circle of friends.
