At first glance, the Harry Potter series seems like a bit of fun, an interesting and diverting read, but with no serious meaning. Upon closer inspection however, it carries several weighty philosophical truisms and beliefs.
It is said that if writing a good book is hard, writing a good humerous character is impossible. It is certainly a rarity to come across good humour, all too often it just falls flat in a cringeworthy scene which somehow ends up with pity for the poor writer (or actor) who thought it would work. Yet sometimes it is pulled off in spectacular style, sometimes there are characters so fantastically funny that we cannot help a snort of laughter, or even a burst of laughter. And so, here is my list of the top 5 funniest fictional characters.
Everyone who has read Harry Potter loved it. In particular people love Harry/Ron/Hermione (delete as appropriate), or all three. It’s a shoo-in that they are people’s favourites, they are the ones the book is about and have the most time in the story dedicated to them. But those who are often overlooked are the supporting characters, the Professor Flitwicks and the Oliver Woods. They are the everyday heroes who make up the magical world who are too often overlooked. No more I say! For today, I shall recognise the top five supporting Harry Potter characters, no more shall they be ignored in the shadows, they shall come forth and receive the acclaim!
Before I start the challenge, I would like to link to a piece of Sherlock fan fiction which I wrote today, which I would really appreciate people reading. Thank you!
I’ve been nominated for this challenge twice, and whilst I do not tend to do blog awards and the like, I think doing a challenge which sounds enjoyable is a rather different kettle of fish. So without further ado, I present the Quote a day challenge (condensed into one day due to time constraints). Thank you very much to Ritu from But I Smile Anyway… and Gaurav Chaplot for nominating me for this challenge.
J.K. Rowling has a new book. A new book in her multimillion selling series to be precise. To celebrate the 25 years ago that Rowling came up with the idea for a character who goes by the name of ‘Harry Potter’, she will release this limited edition novel, and here at The Book Blogger we have had access to an exclusive leak, we managed to gain a a sneak peak at both the proposed cover and the blurb. Even more exclusively, we will reveal here for the first time the proposed title…
