"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is a well-crafted story, with incredibly detailed characters, and an adventure of epic proportions complete with magic spells and witches and wizards. The author points out that children are given a sense of hope because the protagonist Harry is portrayed as both an unassuming boy and a hero; when his parents were killed when he was a baby, grew up in an mentally abusive and physically neglected household and yet, he is finds out that not only is he a wizard, with powers beyond those of his horrible relatives but also the savior of the wizarding world. The paper relates that the story champions equal rights as in Hermione's cause to free the House Elves, who are slaves, and in the struggles of the half-blood of the wizarding world against the superior attitudes of some of the pure-blooded families.

From the Paper:

"Of course, there are the exceptions to the rule, in Harry's world, just as there are in society in the real world. One pure-blooded family, the Weasleys, is looked down upon by the other pure-blooded families as they mix and mingle with those of impure blood. In fact, it's implied that the father of the family, Arthur Weasley, has been forced to stay at his lowly post within the government due to his support of those with impure blood. This can definitely be compared with the society bluebloods of the real world, who intermarry and socialize with only the right people. This hierarchy, of elite members, secures their station in life, at birth, and snubs their noises at those below them."
