All right—Voldemort.” Hagrid shuddered. “Don’t make me say it again. Anyway, this—this wizard, about twenty years ago, started lookin’ for followers. Got ‘em, too—some were afraid, some just wanted a bit o’ his power, ‘cause he was gettin’ himself power, all right. Dark days, Harry . . . . He was takin’ over. Course, some stood up to him—an’ he killed ‘em. Horribly.... (pp. 54-55)
ReplyDeleteWith these few words, Hagrid establishes Voldemort’s credentials as a power-crazed, cold-blooded murderer. To little surprise on the part of the reader, Hagrid then draws a stark contrast:
Now, yer mum an’ dad were as good a witch an’ wizard as I ever knew. Head boy an’ girl at Hogwarts in their day! Suppose the myst’ry is why You-Know-Who never tried to get ‘em on his side before . . . probably knew they were too close ter Dumbledore [Hogwarts Headmaster] ter want anythin’ ter do with the Dark Side. Maybe he thought he could persuade ‘em . . . maybe he just wanted ‘em outta the way. All anyone knows is, he turned up in the village where you was all living, on Halloween ten years ago. You was just a year old. He came ter yer house an’—an’—You-Know-Who killed ‘em. (p. 55)
With this ugly fact, Hagrid draws the lines of conflict—“as good a witch an’ wizard” as Hagrid has ever known on one side and Lord Voldemort, a power hungry, ruthless murderer on the “Dark Side.” Stark division turning on a death struggle between moral poles of good and evil is the chief characteristic of the exclusionary dualism of violent, radical melodrama. But this conflict then gets even closer to home for Harry.
I would like to reconstruct the book 'Percy Jackson and The Greek Heroes'
ReplyDeleteWhen he says in the first chapter that Perseus is his namesake and he died but Percy himself has not died yet, I would like to change that part to that Perseus did not die, and he became immortal, which means that Percy too will become immortal.
I like this book because it teaches us some things about greek heroes and is very fun to read!
