Description:This thesis has the title Harry Potter and the Quest for Values for a number of reasons. The Harry Potter books all contain individual quest stories but the whole series is also one long quest. In each book Harry is always searching for something. It can be for an object such as the Philosopher’s Stone or a Horcrux, or for a piece of knowledge such as how Harry is to overcome a challenge in the Triwizard cup or what his parents were like. Harry undertakes these lesser quests but each of leads up to the ultimate quest of trying to defeat Voldemort. In his quest/s Harry has assistance from his friends, grows as a person in his skills, knowledge and talents, and learns more about himself and those around him. As part of the quest/s Harry learns personal values through his experiences and from those people around him. He lives out these acquired values through the choices he makes but he is also on a quest to discover new or modified values as his choices become more difficult. All of us engage in quests throughout our lives and most of us are on one great quest, to achieve fulfilment in our life based on our understanding of what we feel will fulfil us. The Harry Potter books, like most hero journeys, reflect our own struggles through life, a struggle against outside forces as well as an internal struggle to understand ourselves. Education systems also have quests. The effective teaching of values is one quest but there is also the quest to assist students in understanding themselves and the world around them so that they can make meaningful contributions to that world. These quests, like Harry’s, can be difficult or frustrating, but they are worthwhile quests just as Harry’s quest to defeat Lord Voldemort is worthwhile. Our youth, like Harry, seek values, they seek a way to live, which brings them moral satisfaction and, like Harry, they will face their boggarts on the way and they are manipulated and misled by people such as Rita Skeeter. However, like Harry, the quest for values will make them better people and better citizens because if students have an education in the values that are predominant in their society then they should be able to deal more effectively with their fellow citizens on a day-to-day basis. This quest will ultimately assist students to learn more about themselves and those around them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
