Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: Essay Q&A

1. Identify the classic, archetypal elements of the Hero's Quest in Harry Potter's story. In Harry Potter's story, we can identify: (1) a call to adventure (e.g., Harry receives the letters from Hogwarts School); (2) a separation from the known world (e.g., Harry leaves for Hogwarts with Hagrid); (3) initiation into a new world (e.g., the Sorting Ceremony); (4) threats to the successful achievement of the quest (e.g., animosity with Malfoy; the Mirror of Erised); (5) the fellowship of close companions (Ron, Hermione); (5) the guidance of a mentor (e.g., Hagrid, Dumbledore); (6) a descent into darkness (the passage through the trapdoor and the final confrontation with Quirrell and Voldemort); (7) a rebirth or resurrection (Harry's victory over Voldemort); and (8) the transformed hero's return to the old world (Harry returns home, but with a new knowledge of who he is). 2. Select a traditional element from mythology or folklore that appears in Rowling's work and explain how she uses and adapts it to serve the purposes of her story. While examples abound, perhaps the clearest one is that of the Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone itself. Rowling draws on the history about and legends surrounding the real French alchemist Nicolas Flamel (see Analysis for Chapter 11), adapting many of the details from folklore and alchemy (e.g., the properties of the Stone; the details of "sightings" of Flamel and his wife) in order to argue against the goals of alchemy as suitable for human existence (see Dumbledore's final speech to Harry in Chapter 17). Students' further, self-directed research will reveal many other instances in which Rowling has creatively employed pre-existing mythological, folkloric, and legendary materials. 3. How does Lord Voldemort function in the novel as a metaphor for fear? While Lord Voldemort is clearly an actual character in the book, he also serves the larger purpose of illustrating the power of fear. As early as Chapter 1, even as the wizarding world is celebrating Voldemort's downfall, most wizards do not refer to their supposedly vanquished foe by name. Even Deputy Headmistress McGonagall is shocked when Albus Dumbledore calls Voldemort by name. Throughout the novel, most characters-save Harry himself, who does not know the full history of Voldemort and so thinks nothing of calling him by name-refer to their enemy as "He Who Must Not Be Named" or, even more succinctly, "You Know Who." But, as Dumbledore points out, refusing to use Voldemort's name only grants him more power. In this way, Voldemort functions as a symbol of fear. When fear is not acknowledged, confronted, or explicitly named, it tends to gain more and more control over us. On the other hand, if we openly name our fear, we have taken the first step in defeating it. As other characters in the book realize at some level when referring to Dumbledore as the only wizard brave enough to use Voldemort's name, such open confrontation of fear is an act of courage. It is simpler and may seem easier to avoid our fears; however, only in grappling with them openly and honestly can we find any hope of mastering them. 4. Discuss the role prejudice plays in Rowling's novel, and the implications her treatment of the subject have for us as readers. Prejudice is a theme that recurs not only in this novel but throughout the Harry Potter series. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia are prejudiced against wizards and witches (even though Ron's father is fascinated with non-magical "Muggles," a fascination most clearly and humorously displayed in an early scene in The Goblet of Fire). Centaurs are prejudiced against humans (that is, if we are to judge from Ronan and Bane, who may or may not be typical of their species-thus Rowling makes readers confront their own prejudices even while examining those of her characters). Hagrid mentions that Dumbledore is a great man because he does not share others' prejudice against giants. Draco Malfoy is prejudiced not only against Muggles, but also and even more so against wizards from non-magical families. Clearly, Rowling consciously chose to make prejudice as much a part of her imaginary world as it is of the real world because she thinks it is an important issue to address and to work against. It is a threat to the community of self-realized individuals which she envisions, and must be overcome. 5. What positions about destiny or fate are evident in the novel? In your opinion, does the book make an overarching statement about destiny? Why or why not? For some characters, destiny or fate is out of human beings' control. In the Forbidden Forest, for example, the centaurs Ronan and Bane refuse to intervene and assist Hagrid, Harry, and Hermione because "Mars is bright tonight." Their practice of astrology shows their belief that human fates are fixed and immovable; destines are, in fact, so established that they can literally be "read in the stars." Harry is at some points inclined to believe in this conception of fate, as, for example, when he confides in Ron his fear that, as Bane "predicted," Voldemort will kill him. On the other hand, readers should note that Harry is reading a great deal into Bane's words; Bane's exact words were a question-"Have we not read what is to come in the movements of the planets?'-that does not receive an explicit answer in the text. This fact might reasonably lead readers to conclude that the novel does not ultimately support a blind fatalism. The episode of the Sorting Hat, for example, suggests that destiny is not so fixed as the centaurs would believe: while the Hat says that Harry would do well in Slytherin, it ultimately respects his free choice of Gryffindor. (In the Hat's words: "Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? . . . . Well, if you're sure-better be GRYFFINDOR!") Or, readers may take the more nuanced view that the novel suggests that, while some broad destiny may wait for human beings (as Harry is destined to be a "great wizard"), the exact form that destiny takes is up to them to shape (as Harry can choose to be "great" for either evil or, as he does choose, good).

‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ at 20: The Film That Started It All

Two decades after the film’s release, Daniel Radcliffe and the director, Chris Columbus, take us inside four key scenes.

• Share full article

By Sarah Bahr

“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” ruined Daniel Radcliffe’s expectations for what is normal on a film set.

The Great Hall, where he shot many of the scenes from the first of eight films based on the J.K. Rowling series, was a phantasmagoria of detail. Platters of real lamb chops, roasted potatoes and puddings sat alongside 400 hand-lettered menus and — for at least one scene — hundreds of real, glowing candles. The hall set took 30 people a little over four months to construct.

“I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of sets I’ve been on since in my career that are of that scale,” Radcliffe said in a video interview from his New York apartment in October.

Directed by Chris Columbus, the story of a boy who, upon turning 11, discovers he’s a wizard and goes off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opened Nov. 16, 2001, and went on to gross more than $1 billion worldwide.

When Radcliffe and the young actors who played his friends, Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), were making the film, they weren’t just pretending to have the time of their lives — they were, Columbus said.

“That’s why we shot with three or four cameras — if one of the kids looked into the camera or smiled like they couldn’t believe their good fortune, I had something else to cut to,” he said in a phone conversation on a walk near his home in Malibu in September.

That joy was in large part thanks, Radcliffe said, to Columbus’s infectious passion for his work.

“Chris approaches set in the correct way, in my opinion, which is the attitude that we are the luckiest people in the world to get to do this for a living,” he said.

Columbus wasn’t initially sure he wanted to do a film about wizards, but after his daughter Eleanor (who has a cameo as Susan Bones) kept bugging him to read the books, he finally cracked open the first installment and read all 223 pages in a day.

“I thought, ‘I have to make a movie out of this,’” he said.

But when he called his agent to set up a meeting with Warner Bros., “She said, ‘Yeah, you and about 30 other directors,’” Columbus said.

So he came up with a strategy: He asked for the last meeting slot with studio executives and spent about 10 days writing a script from the director’s point of view.

“I think the most impressive thing about that to them was that I did something for free,” he said, laughing. “No one in Hollywood does anything for free.”

Some six weeks later, he learned the job was his — with one condition: He had to fly to Scotland to meet Rowling.

“I sat there for two and a half hours, talking nonstop, explaining my vision for the movie,” he said. “And she said, ‘That’s exactly the same way I see it.’”

He also got her to go to bat for him on one major casting decision: his Harry. He loved Radcliffe from the moment the actor read for the part — “He was phenomenal,” Columbus said — but the studio wasn’t so sure.

“Finally, I called Jo, and I said, ‘Will you look at this kid?’” he said. When she pronounced him “the perfect Harry Potter ,” Columbus recalled, the studio went along.

Radcliffe, now 32, said that while he does not consider his performance in the film brilliant acting, he’s no longer embarrassed by some of the scenes the way he was in his late teens.

“Now I’m able to look back and go, ‘OK, you were a kid, it’s fine,’” he said, laughing. “It’s still a lovely memory.”

In separate interviews, Radcliffe and Columbus recalled what it took to shoot four key scenes. Here are edited excerpts from our conversations.

The Great Hall

Creating the main gathering place at Hogwarts, where the students eat all their meals at House tables, was a mammoth undertaking.

COLUMBUS When the actors walk into the Great Hall for the first time, what you see on their faces is the genuine reaction to seeing this incredible set for the first time.

RADCLIFFE It never really lost that power.

COLUMBUS The production designer Stuart Craig and [the set decorator] Stephenie McMillan had such an incredible eye for detail. I opened up one of the menus, and realized they’d handwritten all 400 on parchment paper. I thought, “Oh my God, this is the real deal.” I’ve since never had such extraordinary production design.

But there were a few hiccups.

COLUMBUS The food came in — an American Thanksgiving feast — and it was meant to last for eight to 10 hours. I came back the next day, and it was still the same food! By Day 3, I can only say the scent of the Great Hall was getting a little funky.

There was also a mishap.

COLUMBUS When all the kids file into the Great Hall for the first time, we see hundreds of floating candles in the air. And then something horrible happened — the flames of the candles started to burn through the clear string holding them and started to drop! We had to get everybody out of the set — and then we shot it two more times, telling ourselves, “We’re just going to add C.G.I. candles.”

RADCLIFFE We scattered! I’m sure Chris was more stressed out by it, but as a kid, you’re like, “This is really funny.”

The Quidditch scenes are some of the most exciting parts of the film. But the rigs the actors rode were a little, erm, bumpy.

COLUMBUS Our stunt coordinator, Greg Powell, came up with these brilliant rigs that gave all the actors a sense of almost being on an amusement-park ride. What you see on their faces a lot of times, particularly in the Quidditch match, is real — they were a little terrified, but for the most part, as 11-year-old kids, they were having the time of their lives.

RADCLIFFE Looking back, it would have been totally acceptable for me as an 11-year-old in interviews to go, “Yeah, the Quidditch scenes are pretty painful.” But at the time, it was like, “I can’t say anything bad or negative about anything,” so you’re just like, “No, no, no, it’s great.” It was a broomstick with a thin seat in the middle, and you didn’t have stirrups — or, if you did, they were very, very high up — so you were basically leaning all your weight onto your junk when you leaned forward.

COLUMBUS A few weeks before I started the film, I ran into Steven Spielberg. And he said, “There’s one thing you’ve got to do: When these kids get off these rigs, they should be rubbing their thighs like athletes, like it’s really been this incredibly painful experience.”

RADCLIFFE I think on the fifth movie, they made a broom that had more of a rowing machine tractor seat, and we were like, “Why has this taken so long to change? This is much better!”

The Troll Attack

When Harry and Ron are fighting the troll in the girls’ bathroom, Ron casts a spell to drop a club on the troll’s head — but not before it flips Harry upside down and swings him around by his ankles.

COLUMBUS Whatever C.G.I. character couldn’t be there in person, I had to be. So in the second film I was Dobby, the Basilisk — and here, I was the troll. In the wide shots I could only shout and act like a maniac off camera, but in the close-ups, I could actually be next to the camera pretending to be a troll. It was one of the most intense physical workouts I’ve ever had.

RADCLIFFE One of the great things about the films early on was that a huge amount of the effects were practical. The shot of us ducking as the bathroom stalls explode when the troll hits them with the club — some of that was very real. It’s always better to react to something that’s there.

The Chess Game

One of the obstacles guarding the Sorcerer’s Stone is a giant wizard’s chess board, which Harry, Ron and Hermione must play their way across. The film’s designers created 32 pieces, that were up to 12-feet tall and weighed as much as 500 pounds.

COLUMBUS Stuart and I thought it would be interesting to build as much as possible so we could get the kids’ actual reactions of being on these enormous chess pieces. The only things that were augmented in C.G.I. were some explosions — though we did some practical ones, too — and some scenes where the pieces actually had to move. I think it was the pawns that had to draw their swords.

RADCLIFFE Of course, they got an international master to devise a chess puzzle. The attention to detail was really cool.

Some fans have pointed out that the game isn’t strictly accurate.

COLUMBUS I saw the first cut, and I said, “This is really, really slow.” I was adhering to an exact chess game. So I said to my editor, “We’ve got to cut this back.” I can’t worry that the game is being played exactly as a chess expert would play it.

RADCLIFFE It was an incredibly cool set — we were literally playing on this massive chess board every day surrounded by fire — and the effects in that scene hold up in a way that not all the effects from the first film do.

The Most Iconic Quotes from the Harry Potter Films

Posted: March 9, 2024 | Last updated: March 9, 2024

For many Harry Potter fans, the obsession began even before the release of the first Harry Potter movie. While the first book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," was released in 1997, the first movie wasn't released until 2001.

Watching the book series come to life in the movies was an exciting adventure for Harry Potter fans. Additionally, the movies alone created a lot of new Harry Potter fans who hadn't read the books.

Now, as a major franchise that has brought in over $7 billion from the movies alone, Harry Potter is a phenomenon that's popular across the world. With a popular book series, eight popular films, and even part of a theme park dedicated to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, there's no doubt that the Harry Potter films are successful.

There are only seven Harry Potter books in the series, but there are eight films total. This is because Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book, is broken into two different films.

Out of all eight films, there are numerous memorable Harry Potter quotes. Some quotes are funny, others are heart-wrenching. Anyone who watches the films can be encouraged by the wisdom of Dumbledore, laugh at Dobby's quirkiness, and appreciate the friendship between the three main protagonists: Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

From the saddest line in Harry Potter to the best Harry Potter quotes about courage, we've created a list of the most famous Harry Potter quotes from the movies.

To create this list of the most famous quotes from the Harry Potter films, 24/7 Tempo consulted several media sources including Time Magazine and IMDb. We consulted the quotes listed from each movie on IMDb, paying attention to their ratings and popularity. ( Also See The 50 Greatest Movie Quotes of All Time .)

"You're a wizard, Harry!"

• Who said it: Hagrid
• Played by: Robbie Coltrane
• Movie: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

This is perhaps the most famous line in all of Harry Potter because it's the moment Harry finds out who he really is. This line, delivered by Hagrid, is one that has been repeated by Harry Potter fans everywhere ever since "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" made it to the big screen.

"Now if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed – or worse, expelled."

• Who said it: Hermione
• Played by: Emma Watson

Hermione's classic line about getting expelled is so famous because it's the epitome of her character. When we meet her during Harry's first year at Hogwarts, she comes across as a know-it-all who believes her value comes directly from her performance in school. It's even more interesting when we consider the development of her character throughout the series.

"It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices."

• Who said it: Albus Dumbledore
• Played by: Richard Harris
• Movie: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

Many of the best Harry Potter quotes about courage come from Professor Albus Dumbledore, who was played by Richard Harris in the first two movies. Dumbledore spoke this line to Harry after asking him why the sorting hat placed him in Gryffindor instead of Slytherin, to which Harry responded, "Because I asked it to."

"Why spiders? Why couldn't it be 'follow the butterflies'?"

• Who said it: Ronald Weasley
• Played by: Rupert Grint

It's no secret to any Harry Potter fan that Ron Weasley isn't fond of spiders. During this scene, when Harry and Ron are instructed by Hagrid to follow the spiders, it's a great display of Ron's willingness to take action despite his fears. It's also memorable because his extreme fear of spiders comes up again in the series.

"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living and above all, those who live without love."

• Played by: Michael Gambon
• Movie: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)

Harry can always count on Dumbledore to share the wisdom he needs at any given moment. When Harry starts to pity Voldemort, this quote is Dumbledore's response to him. Love is a recurring theme throughout the series and this quote reinforces the idea that life is not worth living without love.

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."

• Movie: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

After announcing the horrifying news that the dementors of Azkaban will be posted at every entrance of Hogwarts until further notice, Dumbledore says this line to the gathered students. In such a dark and scary time at Hogwarts, Dumbledore is there to remind them that you can find happiness in any situation.

"Dobby never meant to kill! Dobby only meant to maim, or seriously injure!"

• Who said it: Dobby the House Elf
• Played by: Toby Jones
• Movie: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)

Dobby the house elf is by far one of the most interesting and sassy characters in the Harry Potter films. This line, one of Dobby's most famous, addresses Bellatrix Lestrange after Dobby nearly drops a chandelier on her. Dobby's line was in response to Bellatrix saying, "Stupid elf! You could have killed me!"

"Why is it, when something happens, it is always you three?"

• Who said it: Professor McGonagall
• Played by: Maggie Smith
• Movie: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

When Professor McGonagall confronts Harry, Ron, and Hermione who have found themselves mixed up in something once again, she says this line to them. What might be even funnier is Ron's response to the question when he says, "Believe me Professor, I've been asking myself the same question for six years."

"He's back, he's back! Voldemort is back!"

• Who said it: Harry Potter
• Played by: Daniel Radcliffe
• Movie: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

This quote is during one of the most emotional and tragic moments in the film, when Harry returns to Hogwarts after the Tri-Wizard Tournament with the body of Cedric Diggory. As Dumbledore tries to discover what happened, Harry hysterically sobs, refusing to leave Cedric. It's discovered that Voldemort killed Cedric when Harry screams this line.

"Always."

• Who said it: Severus Snape
• Played by: Alan Rickman

This quote by Snape is one of the defining moments in the film and for his character. After Dumbledore questions whether Snape has started to care for Harry, Snape casts the Patronus spell, and Dumbledore is baffled that the deer conjured by the spell is the same as Lily's, Harry's mother. Dumbledore exclaims, "Lily! After all this time?" Snape's response of "Always" showed his never-ending love for her, even years after her death.

"The ones that love us never really leave us. You can always find them in here."

• Who said it: Sirius Black
• Played by: Gary Oldman

Harry's life was completely transformed by the loss of his parents. However, this line from Sirius Black is a comfort to Harry. After stating "It's cruel that I got to spend so much time with James and Lily, and you so little," Sirius Black reminds Harry that his parents and all those we love never really leave us.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

• Who said it: George Weasley
• Played by: Oliver Phelps

This quote is one of the Harry Potter famous lines and probably the most repeated line from the films. We first hear this line in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" when Fred and George Weasley teach Harry how to use the Marauder's Map. This map, which shows where everyone is at Hogwarts all time, is activated with this line.

"You're a little scary sometimes, you know that? Brilliant, but scary."

In "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," Neville Longbottom tries to prevent Harry, Ron and Hermione from leaving their room at night, so Hermione casts a spell on him that leaves him temporarily paralyzed. This quote was Ron's response to Hermione after Neville falls to the floor.

"Dobby is free."

• Movie: Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets (2002)

Dobby the house elf is an iconic character in the Harry Potter series who brings to light how terribly house elves are treated. It's a powerful and emotional line when Dobby realizes that he no longer has to serve his master after Harry sneaks a sock into Lucius Malfoy's book. In the series, house elves are freed when their master gives them an item of clothing.

"You'll never know love, or friendship. And I feel sorry for you."

• Movie: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

Harry's epic battle with Voldemort in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is made more memorable by this line. During their fight, Voldemort takes over Harry's mind. However, Harry is able to fight him off with love, one thing Voldemort doesn't understand. This line is his response after Voldemort claims Harry is weak and vulnerable.
