Prompt # 2 January 24, 2013 Dark Expectations

I myself, until have taken this class, only read just the first book, Harry Potter and the Socere's Stone, and I think that having continued to be push to read so much more has opened mine eyes even more, to a broader look at the world through the eye's of Harry Potter. I think that each story that is carefully written and composed must contain some sort of taste of expectation or else the story is garbage and is therefore pointless and remains to be less intriguing to the reader causing them to become bored. However, Rowling, always is setting these kind of thoughts in your mind about different characters in the book and she does this so to keep you on the edge of your seat. For example, I am taking there character of Snape and Malfoy,  but more so Snape. When you first read the Sorcerer's Stone as well as Chamber of Secrets, you have this pressing thought that Snape is in some way related to the Dark Lord, or better yet the idea that in some way shape or fashion, or what I expected when I first read them, that he was the Dark Lord through way of subtle disguise. However Rowling remains to drag this idea about him out and out, further and further as we read each book, and I think that is what causes her material to be so entertaining, because if she told you right up front, what character was what, who they are, what purpose they serve, whether they were good or evil, the series would have turned out to be rather short and really dull. Rather than this she takes each character gives a description of their appearance and their characteristics, and she lets you make your own assumptions before letting you know right away the real purpose of that character, which is fascinating and complicated when you are the writer of stories, such as these, that are deemed so highly rated by critics. Just wanted to note real quick the character Malfoy, when you first are encountered by Draco Malfoy as well as his father Lucious Malfoy, you get somewhat of the same idea that these people may or may not have some lineage and link to the Dark Lord and that they are dangerous. However I am learning as I go, reading each book, that Malfoys, mainly meaning Draco, turn out to be some of the most biggest cowards and fraud people who are all talk but no action, but we shall see what is in store for them. All I can say is glad I finally read the books.
