First, the lengths
Of course, the third volume is the great masterpiece, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” a book in which transforms everything, turns, shows in other, darker light. A book that takes leave of the world of children, aiming towards something new that explores the darkness of Romanticism and consequently leaves the true horror that at the end of a book all can not be good. It was the last work that J. K. Rowling could write under the conditions of anonymity. Consequently, after a lot went wrong.
In the fourth volume, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire,” Harry endures to Rowling instead the conditions of glory, he gives interviews, he overcomes and tries to flee, to no avail. Prompt is the book too long (768 pages), in the German edition 330 pages longer than “Azkaban”. Only 100 pages are the Quidditch World Cup, perhaps the most superfluous scene in the whole cycle. I know exactly, I have read twice my sons. The cursed tournament before the actual tournament did not want to end -. And at the very beginning, burrrrr
Rowling weaves from Volume IV more threads than in books before, they will the big stage, will the virtuosity, will the global involvement in the Triwizard Tournament. You want to call more names than Dostoevsky. And then there was obviously no longer lecturer able to “hold” and call “hubris”. Or precious records to delete scenes. Everything had to be fantastic, bombastic, if necessary without plot.
What did you say Hermione talk and knits for the “Federation of elves rights” (B.ELFE. R) well? The device in the last two volumes (656 and 736 pages) rightly forgotten. What is the story with Hagrid and the giant Grawp in Volume V (1024 pages)? Rowling is to “Azkaban” often close, go for a swim in the fantasy narrative nonsense. It cultivates their imagination as a fad, not as a dramaturge. You get the curve. But the price is high, just think of the Horrorepilog. Who wants to read, such as too much fabric strangled the work, may like to continue with “Game of Thrones”
Secondly. Parents
in a “Simpsons” episode on Halloween Rod and Todd decide the two sons of pious neighbor Ned Flanders, secretly read middle of the night “Harry Potter”. Of course, her father had warned her that this book is a satanic concoction that anyone who reads it, inevitably brings into hell. But the brothers believe that this fundamentalist Humbug: “What has to happen, if I open this book?” Well, what can happen? The gates of hell open, Lucifer appears and abducted the children.
Flanders has always been my” Simpsons “-Lieblingsfigur. Unlike many other parents he knew what to think of “Harry Potter”. I do not believe in hell, but I believe in nightmares, to dulling and brutalization. Therefore I go parents on the nerves that Mrs Rowling imposition-their children scary ham outright, of course, in the original version – so that the boy then perfect with 18 already on the executive chair of a multinational Globish converses
Even worse are those who let their immature children mitglotzen hesitation. when the elder himself Potter films look. Because they make me sometimes in embarrassing situations: How to tell his seven year old daughter who for weeks high startled after “Paddington” in your sleep, that they now prefer not with the same age hostess “Harry Potter and the chain of Satan” – or as the scrap whatsoever is – should view? And all this without exposing than scared bunnies in front of the truncated age comrade and their cool teenage sisters? Visiting Ned Flanders would not have happened
Thirdly. The spells
Spells are characterized in the world literature is always the fact that it a decisive moment just do not want to come. Otherwise would Goethe’s “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” have been over after only six of fourteen verses. Eichendorff appealed with its “If you hit the magic word” to the experimentation of the reader, but also 181 years later, the world has not yet raised a single time to sing.
And by itself, without the forty thieves, Ali Baba would be never to” open sesame “come up (lucky that things turned out differently, the poor Scheherazade would have otherwise be able to tell just by Ali Baba’s monotonous Lumberjack everyday what they would certainly not have survived long). Cool spells must be enigmatic and mysterious, and best of all they are completely concealed. Otherwise one can equal Bibi hear ( “Hex! Hex!”).
That JK Rowling Bibi during its preparatory work to “Harry Potter “has rezipiert, must remain open here (unlikely, it is not, after all, she has plagiarized in all other magic series in the world). Anyway, the spells are the exact opposite of a mystery in the Potter universe. They are common knowledge, that you can look in any dictionary and learn the already magic graders effortlessly memorize.
The Sayings not sound urgeschichtlichem campfire under clear desert sky, as the mystical abracadabra whose origin research to date does not understand, but as an unsophisticated vocabulary game that has imposed their own children on the eight-hour drive to play in the Black forest holiday a bored by himself Latin teacher. If Harry Potter will conjure his patron, he calls “Expecto Patronum”. The word “Duro” leaves fabric curtains are rock hard. To make your voice louder one speaks “Sonorus” to then be quiet again, the word “Quietus” enough.
Probably to the Stowasser formulas simply flatter only the readers who also strapped why the silencing charm might well “Silencio” hot. With wizardry they have nothing to do, or if they do, then stop, to curry favor with Rowling’s magical powers from the public. Suspected spell: Pecunia non olet
Fourthly. The pilgrimage sites
The King’s Cross Station north of City of London is not one of the attractions, which must appear on the list of a four-day visit to London. Nevertheless, it will not be able to avoid the cold Protzbau if one wants to preserve the morale of the relevant members of a travel company. Instead of visiting the world heritage in the British Museum, the youth support aims inevitably to the wall between the tracks 9 and 10, even if that does not exist. In order for Harry Potter fans continue to be a must-go, the station people have the platform 9 ¾, departs from the commonly the train to Hogwarts, recreated between Drögen tracks. 4 and 5.
After helping the general Verpotterung if Oxford should be the goal. For the great hall at Christ Church College beckons as a reward. Harry and his friends are always there mountains of roast beef, roast chicken “and, for some strange reason, mints” dished.
Even the Scottish tourism benefits from the Harry Mania. For traveling along the railway Fort William-Mallaig families invest like a vacation day and stay for hours in the rain at Glenfinnan Viaduct to get a glimpse of Harry’s train, even if the recalls are only remotely to the Hogwarts Express. The ferry from Mallaig to the Isle of Skye is now among the most profitable of the Kingdom. Just imagine, they had Hogwarts rotated on the outer Shetlands
Fifth. Daniel Radcliffe
He can do nothing about it. Really. Daniel Radcliffe is actually a poor dog. At the age of ten he was crowned magic students – mainly because he looked so damn cute with the glasses. He then lived as Harry Potter Just as many years. It is probably a truism, but to be in such a public adult, anyone
gets really good. Casted had Radcliffe way director Chris Columbus, who already Macaulay Culkin a decade earlier to eternal “Kevin – home alone” damn. In the first “Harry Potter” movie Culkin was on the verge of his first divorce. As far as his drug addiction had progressed since, hinted his appearance. Only to Culkin adopted with 14 years to retirement. If he shows up somewhere today, certainly no one thinks of the cute Kevin. Radcliffe, however, the “Harry Potter” has given at least an alcohol problem, just as Radcliffe must watch, and already shine the eyes of children of all ages as for a Lumos spell.
Because he knows that himself, the eternal apprentice flees into roles in which he has to adjust maximum. In it he plays then such exaggerated against his own face that you ever have to ask if there is Harry Potter goes well. Because let’s be honest, Daniel Radcliffe is not a good actor. He is an actor, because he never had a choice. This is tragic, but also annoying terribly
Sixth. The media
Rita Skeeter, the scheming and extremely manoeuvrable reporter for the “Daily prophet”, the grooms adapted to the prevailing power relations is annoying, per se. Already clear. But the lady is effective in their role. The “prophet” as an instrument of the powerful, to a journalist who also turns to talk into a bug to spy the stars of the magic world that suits and satisfies even readers who do not find the word “lying press” a priori inappropriate.
Rita Skeeter’s greed for ever more and ever more sensational Harry stories but may have been also in the creation of entirely real online portal Pottermore Pate. In the books, the Internet is only mentioned in passing as a pastime for Muggles. Thus, it is then also. On Pottermore found since the founding in 2011 unveiling stories as currently “Why Neville Longbottom’s history has always been a happy ending earned” or “A story remarkable wands of Slytherin House.”
JK Rowling wanted to live on the characters in the digital world, also a concession to the huge following. That with the unraveling of the magical world disenchantment Potters had accompanied, but was obvious. An enthusiastic Vanishing having held the Magic longer. However, it may Rowling to be not only gone about keeping the power of interpretation of the fate of the created of her world. were about Pottermore between 2011 and 2015 also exclusively marketed the e-books of the Potter saga
Seventh. @jk_rowling
In addition to the website Pottermore, where it for money Audiobooks and E are -Books and lau a course in Potter orthodoxy to Rowling’s tweets have become their main secondary work. Certainly they are sold in a future midnight once as schmuckes hardcover or brought to the stage in London’s West End. The drama would then Joanne Rowling and the Cursed social media, Parts 1 to 100,000 hot; the book might just Under my thumb as the Rolling Stones song saved.
Because of course it’s also about control when Rowling on Twitter marks the anniversary of the battle of Hogwarts (and traditionally excused for one of the dead, which they did before advertising), coming in for closer determination of the sexual preferences of Albus Dumbledore or Exegetin their own descriptions of Hermione’s skin color philosophizing ( “never specified”) <"prefix_1 text artContent" p id = "p31" class => Every time.
it has the thumb on the Potter saga, as if she had the readers not given their history, but merely borrowed, and afraid now, zurückzukriegen books dog-eared, and underscores. Is a story but only in the world, it goes its own way, just as a large become child. And the author remains only a new devise, to hanging up his heart as well. Whether one finds on twitter?
