Blog Prompt #2

Over the course of the Harry Potter series, we have witnessed characters develop in some surprising ways. These developments have implications for the way in which we read the series, and particularly, for our understanding of what Rowling are saying about themes like coming of age, traumatic experience, historical trauma, empathy, etc. Consider the way in which one or two characters’ development has/have affected your broader interpretation of the series using one of the major themes. Discuss how specific moments of character development have lead you to reassess how one of the major themes is being explored. Your response should be in the range of 300-500 words.
