The book I am currently is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The character that I think has the best characteristics of a character archetype is Hagrid. He serves the role of the herald in this book.
Hagrid serves the role of the herald because he is the one who comes and introduces Harry to the fact that his parents were wizards, and that he is also a wizard who saved all of the wizard world, when he was only a little baby.
A quote that I believe proves that Hagrid is a herald is, "Harry - yer a wizard." This quote shows the characteristics of the herald because he is introducing Harry to the idea that he is a wizard, since he had no clue. He also shows and tells Harry all about his parents and the place wehre is is actually from. Hagrid explains Hogwarts and how he has a reserved spot -since he saved all of Britain, including the muggles, at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry. For these reasons, I believe that Hagrid is the herald in this novel.
Amazingly executed, short, and sweet.
ReplyDeleteIn some places it seemed to repeat and I found some minor spelling errors and repetition of words.
Other than that very well done!
