HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS

Why is Harry Potter always in harm’s way? In the book Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets there are two main themes, one which is danger, and the other which is courage. In the book Harry needs to have both of these to defeat Voldemort, one of the greatest known wizards known! Even though Harry is constantly in trouble, he always finds a way to keep himself alive.

One of the main themes in this book is danger. In this book a very dark, evil wizard named Voldemort is after Harry. When Harry finds Tom riddles diary, he soon figures out that when he writes a question that what he wrote would disappear and the book would right an answer back to him. Harry quotes; “can you tell me about Tom Riddel?” and the book replies “No, but I can show you.” And then it takes Harry back into time to show him what had happened that day with Hagrid and him. Then when Harry finds the secret chamber in the bathroom, he goes down into Tom’s lair and finds out Tom Marvolo Ridde is Lord Voldemort. If you were to unscramble the words it would be “I am Lord Voldemort.” Since Tom could speak to snakes he brought out a giant snake to try to kill harry. Harry defeats the snake and saves Ron’s Sister Jenny and returns back to Hogwarts. This shows that harry is always in danger.

Although the first theme of the book was danger, we must not forget the second theme, courage. Harry Potter must have courage when he is fighting Tom Riddel. Without all his courage he would not be able to have survived through this battle. Harry also needs courage to even try and stop him! Harry is a very courageous young boy. Harry probably wouldn’t have even gone to Hogwarts if he wasn’t so determined and courageous. He would have listened to Dobby when he had told him that Lord Voldemort was back. These examples show that Harry has a lot of courage to have gone to Hogwarts this year and to have fought, and won the battle against Tom Riddle and the snake.

I love the whole Harry Potter series. Harry, (the main character) is just an amazing person. Harry is always in trouble with Lord Voldemort always after him, but he is always careful about things. Although he may get himself involved in more things than he has to he is still a very smart person. J.K. Rowling’s is just a tremendous writer and her Harry Potter series just takes you to a whole new world. Even though Harry is constantly in trouble, he always finds a way to keep himself alive.
