“‘It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.’” Rowling, J. K., and Mary GrandPreÌ. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. New York: Arthur A. Levine , an Imprint of Scholastic, 1999. Print. This quote is from the series Harry Potter.

No Doubt That Harry Potter Can Slytherin to Campbell’s Journey of the Hero The professor, author, and mythologist known as Joseph Campbell is known for writing the famous book The Hero with a Thousand Faces which contains the ubiquitous storyline known as the monomyth or the Hero’s Journey.

We can see this applied in our time today when people have to make decisions such as, what flavor coffee to get, what subject to get a degree in, and even something such as deciding to take a job offer requires a decision that you must be certain of to have a positive mindset about the action you chose.

In the novel “Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling the interactions between children and adults share a common feature, whether in the Wizarding world or muggle world. That is, the adults do not view children as independent people but rather viewing them as a pawn to be shuffled around. As Hogwarts is considered to be the safest place in the Wizarding world the professors tend to dismiss the complaints of their students and believe they cannot come to any real harm while on campus. Meanwhile, the teachers will use the children for their academic prowess and failures to further their own house’s success in the competition for the House Cup. Though Harry, Ron, and Hermione continually prove their capability to learn well-guarded
