My favorite book is Harry Potter

I really enjoy reading about Harry's adventures. The exciting adventures of a boy who is no longer a little boy will not leave anyone indifferent. After all, in every book there is something to be delighted with. These books are captivating, disappointing, and pull you in until the book ends. An interesting world of wizards and sorceresses, wonderful plants and animals, schools and prisons, rules and traditions.

I really like to read a novel at different times of the year. After all, you can read quietly, calmly, lying on the sofa, on a cold winter day. While drinking hot tea or warm mulled wine, read about the magnificent feast in the Hogwarts dining room. Or at the beginning of a cold spring, sit on a bench in the park, enjoying the singing of birds, reading about what a fastidious plant the mandrake is. Reading about a snake and accidentally seeing a snake in the park would be very scary, in my opinion. You can run somewhere in the furious autumn and hide from the pouring rain in a small cafeteria, where no one will disturb you. Sit by the window and forget yourself. Forget about everything, because now Hermione is infiltrating the bank under the guise of Bellatrix Lestrange. Well, on a hot summer evening, gather with friends around the fire and read about the onset of terrible, favorite moments. After all, there are more than enough of them in books.

My favorite part of the book, as well as probably the movie, is the first. “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone”, because it is in this part that Harry receives a letter and learns that he is a special boy. Every child who read or watched this story dreamed of this. Not everyone could come to school and prove themselves. But in addition to the need to prove himself, Harry begins to understand many confusing situations. And what a game of chess it was, just think about the strategy. At the age of 11, would you be able to risk your life and that of your close friends like that? But you really feel sorry for the boy when you think about the fact that he has to go home to the Dursleys for the whole summer. Yes, this is not Ron Weasley, who feels good everywhere.

But, all generations of children know about Harry Potter, regardless of their age. We can only hope that another 20 years will pass, and children will still read about the unique boy with the lightning scar on his forehead.

Essay on the topic Harry Potter is my favorite book

I recently read a famous series of books by the talented author JK Rowling. It tells about a world where there is magic, where a boy named Harry Potter lives.

The first book in the series is called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. In it, Harry loses his parents, who were killed by the dark wizard, Lord Voldemort. The villain tried to kill Harry, who was only one year old, but the deadly spell “bounced off” the boy and hit the magician himself. Voldemort disappears, and Harry is left with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. He is given into the care of Harry's aunt and uncle, who will treat him as if he is out of place. But some time after his eleventh birthday, Harry learns that he is a wizard. He goes to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn and become a real wizard, where he finds his true friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

In this series of books, the world is divided into the world of magicians and the world of Muggles (who do not know magic). Mages carefully hide their world and their existence in general.

Throughout the subsequent books, the Dark Lord tries to kill Harry, since there is a prophecy according to which Harry and Voldemort cannot live as long as one of them lives. In the penultimate book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort returns again, and this time he is difficult to defeat. In the seventh book, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the Dark Lord became so powerful that he captured Hogwarts School, the Ministry of Magic, and began to completely control the population. Harry, Ron and Hermione decided to skip the last course in order to find the Horcruxes, parts of Voldemort's soul, without destroying which it is impossible to defeat him.

In the end, in the final battle, Harry defeats the dark wizard. In the epilogue, 19 years later, Harry, his wife Ginny, Ron and Hermione see their children off to Hogwarts.

Moreover, if the first book can be read to preschool children as a fairy tale, then not every adult can understand the last books.

Reading the series, you are happy and sad along with Harry, you feel every emotion of each character. This book contains intrigue, ambiguous villains, and love stories are also woven into it.

JK Kathleen Rowling wrote more than just a book. With her pen she created an entire universe. The book grabs you from the first pages, and then you will want to read it again and again.

The story of the brave wizard Harry Potter consists of seven books. I liked the first one the most. In it, Harry is my age. I recognize many of his traits in myself and my friends.

Many people ask me why I love reading about Harry and his friends. I think about this too. It's probably not the magic that attracts people most to the Harry Potter books. Although it is also interesting to read about him. The most important thing is the friendship that united Ron, Harry and Hermione. Neville Longbottom and other guys are very interesting. Dumbledore reminds me of Gandalf from Lord of the Rings. He is just as wise and brave. I don't know why, but I really like the strict Professor Snape.

Reading Harry Potter, I realized that a true friend will be with you even when there is no chance of winning. Ron and Hermione were very afraid of Voldemort, but they still did not give up and did everything to ensure that their friend achieved his goal. The scene where Ron leads the chess game shocked me. If I were a girl, I would probably cry. Weasley risked his life. There was a moment when I thought he died.

Hermione seemed arrogant to me at first. People like her are called "nerds", but then I realized that without her, Harry could not have won. In all the books, her mind saves the heroes from death. She is the daughter of Muggles, but in magic she has surpassed all her peers and even the kids from high school.

I would like to get into the world of Harry Potter and study at Hogwarts. I would like to learn magic and find friends like Harry. The world of Harry Potter is fictional, but it teaches us a lot. The main characters of the book had such traits as courage and loyalty. They fought evil and never gave in to it. I think JK Rowling is a great writer. Thanks to her Harry Potter, many people who did not like to read began to love reading. I am also one of them. If there were more such books, all people on the planet would become fans of literature.

An essay-reasoning on the topic “What is history?” All textbooks say that history is the science of the past. History is a record of what happened in the world, in our country or in our hometown many years ago. Even what is happening to us now will one day become history and end up in school textbooks. Knowing the history of your people is as important as understanding what happened throughout the world a long time ago. History teaches us positive and negative examples. We can learn from the mistakes of the past and not make them again. Or find out […]
Description of the speech of the characters in the story “The Horse with a Pink Mane” When reading some literary works, you not only follow the plot with interest, but also completely immerse yourself in the era being described, dissolving in the narrative. This is exactly what V. Astafiev’s story “The Horse with a Pink Mane” is like. This effect is largely achieved due to the fact that the author was able to convey the unique colorful speech of the characters. The story takes place in a remote Siberian village, so the heroes’ speech contains many outdated and colloquial words. The speech of Katerina Petrovna, grandmother, is especially rich in them. Being […]
The theme of the homeland in Yesenin's lyrics (essay) Goy you, my dear Rus', Huts - in the vestments of the image... There is no end in sight - Only the blue blinds the eyes. The magical world of S. Yesenin’s poetry, melodious and lyrical, merges into one song glorifying the country “with a short name - Rus'.” The poet imagined Russia as the land of blessed nature and the abode of Christian culture in his early work. For him, brought up on the traditions of folk poetry and the poems of such singers of his native land as Koltsov and Nikitin, the homeland is the faith of his ancestors, and folk legends, and the bright beauty […]
What does the comedy “The Inspector General” make you think about? N.V. Gogol is not in the top 10 of my favorite writers. Maybe because a lot has been read about him as a person, about a person with character flaws, illnesses, and numerous interpersonal conflicts. All these biographical data have nothing to do with creativity, however, they greatly influence my personal perception. And yet Gogol should be given his due. His works are classics. They are like the tablets of Moses, created from solid stone, endowed with writing and […]
The poetic world of Nekrasov N.A. Nekrasov created an entire era in poetry. More than one generation of the best people in Russia was brought up on the works of the poet. From childhood, Nekrasov’s images and the unique sounds of his poetic speech enter our consciousness. In the person of Nekrasov, who sensitively grasped the demands of the time, poetry sought to push its limits. The poet confesses to society and considers himself responsible to it.

An essay on the topic “What evolution does the image of the little man undergo in Chekhov’s stories?” The theme of the little man was touched upon in his works by N.V. Gogol, F.M. Dostoevsky, A.S. Pushkin. These heroes evoked pity and compassion. After all, they became like this because of difficult life circumstances and the disdainful attitude of others. At A.P. Chekhov's image of a little man is significantly different. Heroes such as Vanka from the work of the same name or the coachman Jonah from the story “Tosca” evoke sincere sympathy. They have no one to share their troubles with. These are very lonely, small people. Writer […]

“Kolyma Stories” by Shalamov (essay) Varlam Tikhonovich Shalamov reflected the theme of camps in Russian literature in his work. The writer reveals the entire nightmare of camp life in the book “Kolyma Tales” with amazing accuracy and reliability. Shalamov's stories are piercing and invariably leave a painful impression on readers. Varlam Tikhonovich's realism is not inferior to the skill of Solzhenitsyn, who wrote earlier. It would seem that Solzhenitsyn sufficiently revealed the topic, however, Shalamov’s manner of presentation is perceived as a new word in camp prose. Future […]
The Battle of Austerlitz in the novel “War and Peace” (analysis) The Field of Austerlitz is very important for Prince Andrei, there was a reassessment of his values. At first, he saw happiness in fame, social activities, and career. But after Austerlitz, he “turned” to his family and realized that it was there that he could find true happiness. And then his thoughts became clear. He realized that Napoleon was not a hero or a genius, but simply a pitiful and cruel person. So, it seems to me, Tolstoy shows which path is true: the path of family. Another important scene is a feat. Prince Andrei performed a heroic [...]

Why Chatsky is doomed to loneliness (essay) A “social” comedy with a social clash between the “past century” and the “present century” is called the comedy of A.S. Griboyedov "Woe from Wit". And it is structured in such a way that only Chatsky speaks about progressive ideas for transforming society, the desire for spirituality, and a new morality. Using his example, the author shows readers how difficult it is to bring new ideas into the world that are not understood and accepted by a society that is ossified in its views. Anyone who starts doing this is doomed to loneliness. Alexander Andreevich […]
What does the story “Biter” make you think about? I have never had my own dog. We live in the city, the apartment is small, the budget is limited and we are too lazy to change our habits, adapting to the dog’s “walking” regime... As a child, I dreamed of a dog. She asked me to buy a puppy or take anyone from the street. I was ready to look after, give love and time. The parents kept promising: “When you grow up...”, “When you go to fifth grade...”. I went through the 5th and 6th, then I grew up and realized that no one would ever let a dog into the house. We agreed on cats. Since then […]
Expressive means in Lermontov’s poems “Clouds”, “Cliff”, “In the Wild North...” At first glance it may seem that these poems belong to the so-called landscape lyrics and describe only pictures of nature. There is undoubtedly some truth in this. But only her share. In no case should we forget that lyrics are always an expression of the author’s thoughts and feelings, and any poem is always about a person, his feelings, his troubles, thoughts, experiences. And the cliff is not a soulless rock, to which the whimsical imagination of the poet gave the ability to think and shed tears, it is […]
The life feat of Chernyshevsky After the peasant reform of 1861, when unrest began in Russian villages caused by the predatory nature of the reform, the proclamation “To the lordly peasants” began to circulate. The authorities decided to attribute its authorship to Chernyshevsky. However, it was not so easy to deal with the famous literary critic, whose articles were passed by the tsarist censorship and widely published in Sovremennik and Otechestvennye zapiski. Everyone knew about his revolutionary sympathies, his closeness with Herzen and other major […]

History during this period was created, changed and detailed through the fates of not only Grigory Melekhov, but also many other people. They were his close family and distant relatives, [...]
Love as the highest value of the world in Kuprin’s story “The Garnet Bracelet” Kuprin portrays true love as the highest value of the world, as an incomprehensible mystery. For such an all-consuming feeling there is no question “to be or not to be?” It is devoid of doubt, and therefore is often fraught with tragedy. “Love is always a tragedy,” wrote Kuprin, “always struggle and achievement, always joy and fear, resurrection and death.” Kuprin was deeply convinced that even an unrequited feeling can transform a person’s life. He wisely and touchingly spoke about this in “The Garnet Bracelet,” a sad […]
The destructive power of money in Balzac's story "Gobsek" Honore de Balzac combines the accuracy and breadth of his depiction of French reality with the depth of penetration into the internal patterns of social life. It reveals the class conflicts of the era and reveals the bourgeois nature of the social development of France after the revolution of 1789. In the images of merchants, moneylenders, bankers and entrepreneurs, Balzac captured the appearance of the new master of life - the bourgeoisie. He showed people who were greedy and cruel, without honor or conscience, making their fortunes through obvious and […]

Kuprin, the theme of love is touched upon more than once, but in the story “The Garnet Bracelet” this feeling is shown especially vividly, colorfully and tragically.

The writer addresses in this story one of the most important topics. For him, love is a mystery that not everyone can solve. The theme of love is shown in the story as a confrontation with everyday life. […]
Moral problems in the novel “A Hero of Our Time” Lermontov’s youth and the formation of his personality occurred during the years of government reaction after the defeat of the Decembrist uprising. A difficult atmosphere of denunciations, total surveillance, and exile to Siberia on charges of unreliability reigned in Russia. Progressive people of that time could not freely express their thoughts on political issues. Lermontov was acutely worried about the lack of freedom, the state of stopped time. He reflected the main tragedy of the era in his novel, which he meaningfully called “The Hero of Our […]
