They were afraid of magic and Petunia had always been jelaous of her sister so they hated magic and did not want to raise someone who studied it.

Witch is the last Diary of a Wimpy Kid?

There is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which is the seventh book starring Harry Potter but now there is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child which is a playscript and is starring Harry Potter's third son, Albus.

They made him feel very unwelcome and let him be bullied. They also refused to tell him the truth about his parents.


What is the external conflicted in Harry potter and the prisoner of akaban?

The conflicts in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban are: 1. Sirius Black's escape 2. It is believed that Black is after Harry 3. Aunt Marge accuses his parents of inadequate behaviours (drunkeness etc.) 4. Harry blows up his aunt 5. The Grim makes an appearance 6. Crookshanks and Ron do not get along well, thus tension between two friends 7. Sirius is Harry's godfather 8. Peter Pettigrew is discovered 9. Harry is not allowed to go to Hogsmeade 10. The truth about Harry's parents is uncovered 11. Dementors make an appearance and Harry is subject to their ways often These are the main conflicts in the storyline, there are several minor ones along the way too. It depends on what you mean by External. If you mean outside of Hogwarts, well you can see some of them above - the Aunt Marge issue, and there is always the issue of the Dursleys.


Who tells Harry the truth about Sirius Black?

He got the truth in bits and pieces. It was Mr. Weasley that told him Sirius may be looking for him. He actually over heard the story about Sirius' involvement in the death of Harry's parents by eaves dropping in the pub. It was Sirius Black himself that told Harry the rest of the story.


Why did Albus Dumbledore not tell Harry in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?

Malfoy was never really a bad guy. He was raised in a family of Dark wizards, which rubbed off on him quite a bit. He never truly was evil though. Recall, he couldn't kill Dumbledore in Book 6. (Some say its because he was scared but others believe he never truly wanted to. It's probably a combination of both.) So when Bellatrix asked Malfoy to identify Harry, Malfoy didn't tell her the truth because he didn't really support Voldermort. Being *bad* was always expected of Malfoy because of his family history. Malfoy will never have good character, but he will never be evil either.

What is the personality of Harry Potter?

Harry potter is a deeply disturebed and emotional person due to missing out on his childhood with the Dursleys and not knowing the truth. Whilst the wizarding world looks up at Harry Potter he would be quite happy to lead a normal life. However if he had led a normal life he may have not met the valuable friends and family he meets in the books. He is also quite brave standing up to Voldermort but that might be because his parent's death spurns him on to defeat their killer which is why he always knew he would have one day have to face Voldermort. He also has temper problems.

You are way to young to watch those films... 'Tom and Jerry' will do perfectly.

Could Harry Potter have some truth to it?

Harry Potter does have some truth to it as there are many facts in the modern day life that occur in Harry Potter. I think that people should look though the book themsleves and resarch thing for themeselves. There are many truths about good and evil as well as human nature and dealing with other people that are constants. Is there a 'magical' world in parallel with our own? Nice to imagine, but it doesn't exist. (Or has someone put a memory charm on me?) __________________ If Harry Potter were real, then would Twilight be? These novels are written to give the perception that - "Hey maybe it is real." The authors write of these magical worlds where humans (muggles) remain woefully ignorant of the truth. It begs to be questioned: Is the truth right there in front of us in black and white?
