Friendship

In the book "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", the friendship of loyalty helps the main character of the story Ð'- Harry Potter grow and mature through the entire story. Without these friendships assistants, Potter cannot defend the powerful dementors or other threating situations during the book.

To begin with, a friend is defined as a person whom one knows, likes and trusts. Aristotle once asked that, "What is a friend? A single soul in two bodies."(Ethics 158) Indeed, a friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift. Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods. In addition, there's a miracle of friendship that dwells with the heart. And people do not know how it happens or where it gets its start. But the Happiness it brings people always gives a special lift. "Friendship seems to be the bond of Social Communities, and legislators seem to be more anxious to secure it than Justice Even." (138). It is true great things come in small packages. Once the package of friendship has been opened, it can never be closed since it is a constant book always written and then waiting to be read and enjoyed. We may have our disagreements, we may argue, we may concern one another. Therefore, friendship is a unique bond that lasts through it all. Often we have no time for our friends but all the time in the world for our enemies.

"But a reckless rage had come over Harry. He kicked his trunk open, pulled out his want, and pointed it at Uncle Vernon. "She deserved it," Harry said, breathing very fast. "She deserved what she got. You keep away from me." He fumbled behind him for the latch on the door. "I'm going," Harry said. "I've had enough." (25 POA)

For the first two years, Harry has spent most of his time being grateful to be rescued from his awful relatives, the Dursleys, amazed at all magic around him, and resolute in his commitment to loyalty and integrity. But now he is beginning to get angry, he is growing up and feel everything more sharply and deeply, especially the treatment in general and loss his parents in particular. During this year, When Harry cannot bear the pressure from his aunt and uncle, he decides to leave this terrible house for summer and go back to Hogwarts. Therefore, things are not quiet the same as it used to be over Hogwarts. The scary creatures named Dementors are looking for the first ever-escaped prisoner, Sirius Black, who betrayed Harry's parents to Valdemort. Even worse, Sirius might be on his way to kill Harry. Professor Lupin is Harry's teacher this year. Surprisingly, his kind eyes and miserable air makes him a good friend of Harry. On the other hand, Harry's first friend Hagrid is now teaching the magical creatures calss, introducing the students to a hippogriff and Professor Trelawny is a professor of divination whois so focused on the future that she is not very interested in what is going on right now.

When the hippogriff injures Harry's challenger, it gives ammunition to those who oppose the headmaster, Professor Dumbeldore. The hippogriff is sentenced to death. Meanwhile, the Azkaban guards Dementors have come to Hogwarts seeking for Sirius, and Harry becomes faint everything he sees them. They dissolve the happy thoughts of people on their way, and Harry, who has known greater sadness than anyone else, is the most vulnerable. At this moment, Harry has to find a way to save the hippogriff and protect himself form Black and Dementors. After the holidays, Harry begins to work with Professor Lupin to fight Dementors with the Patronus charm. Even though he is considered as successful, he is not entirely confident with his own strength to guard others. Ron, Hermione, and Harry shield themselves in Harry's invisibility cloak and head off to comfort Hagrid. While at his cabin, Hermione discovers Scabbers in Hagrid's milk jug. As Ron, Harry, Harry and Hermione are leaving Hagrid's house and reeling from the sound of the axe, the large black dog approaches them, pounces on Ron, and drags him under the Whomping Willow. Harry and Hermione and Crookshanks rush down after them; strangely, Crookshanks knows the secret knob to press to still the flailing tree. They move through an underground tunnel and arrive at the Shrieking Shack. They find that the black dog has turned into Sirius Black and is in a room with Ron. Harry, Ron, and Hermione manage to disarm Black, and before Harry can kill Black, avenging his parents' deaths, Professor Lupin enters the room and disarms him. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are shocked as Lupin and Black exchange a series of nods.

The reason Harry feels such personal hatred towarding Black is the thought that he betrayed his father James Potter. When it turns out that Pettigrew had done it instead, Lupin and Black turn snarling on him. "You should have died!" (POA 485), Black yells at him, "Died rather than betray your friends, as we would have done for you!" (485). Harry finds himself facing Black in the first place because he went down the Whomping Willow to rescue Ron. One of the greatest and most repeated messages in this series s summed up by Hagrid's sobering advice to Harry and Ron: "I thought you two'd value yer friend more'n broomsticks or rats." (285).

Ron Weasley is one of Harry's best buddies through the whole story. He possesses the confidence of being a child deeply loved. Ron is deeply loyal to the people he lovesÐ'--his family, Harry, his pet rat Scabber, and Hermione. Furthermore, he defends their rights with a fiery desperation when he refuses to speak to Hermione for allowing her cat to attack his rat, and for turning Harry's new broomstick into Professor McGonagall. Ron feels valued by Harry and doesn't seem to mind this on a regular basis, although sometimes he seems to feel depressed and glossed over. Ron is a true friend who knows Harry as he really is, understands where he has been, accepts who he has become, and gently invites him to grow.

Hermione Granger is the other best pal of Potter. She is an ideal brain, in the same way that while Harry represents courage and Ron represents loyalty. She pleases her teachers and follows rules. She loves to get good grades and to learn every subject well. Even
