The Boy Who Lived Couldn't Live Without When a planned children's story can become a worldwide bestseller, there's something more to learn than a moral hidden commune. As a mother, teacher, charity volunteer and author, JK Rowling wrote a series of seven books known to most people as the exceptional Harry Potter. Being There has more to gain from reading than just a hero defeating his nemesis; not only children but also teenagers and adults are caught telling the puzzling stories of Harry Potter all over the world. Written for readers' imaginations, JK Rowling presents a magical world designed for magical characters who bear an enormous resemblance to real-life tribulations, emotions, and consequences. In the first novel in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, we see much more than our main character closing in on his toughest adversaries and toppling them single-handedly. The other characters in the story contribute a substantial part to Harry's success. From Hagrid to Snape, to Dumbledore and the rest of the professors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - without them, but not forgetting the matter minus Ron and Hermione, Harry would be nothing more than a young boy with a scar and a lucky fight Torn between good and evil throughout this novel, a camaraderie is established in Harry by the characters around him. The effort to become an anti-Voldemort becomes Harry's main goal during his first year at Hogwarts. To add to Harry's maddening pressure to live up to his own name, he asks Professor Severus Snape and tormenting student, Draco Malfoy, to twist the knife of his existing problems. The opposition and unsettling balance created by Professor Snape and Harry seems to be nothing more than an act of parental protection by Snape that he prefers to keep hidden. Almost embarrassed by his guilt and what he owes Harry's father, Snape is harsh on Harry and plays his part as a heartless and biased Slytherin. At the end of the story we find out that Snape is only trying to help Harry by saving him, which shows that people have a moral choice to make rather than the choice of which label they are thrown into..
