Harry Potter Refusal of Call

In the first Harry Potter book " The Sorcerer's Stone," Harry's aunt and uncle don't want to be mixed into the world of magic, so when Harry is summoned to go the Hogwarts they try and escape by going to an island to hide from the magic. Haggrid, the small giant, stills finds Harry and he takes him shopping for school supplise in Diagon Alley. If Haggrid was not in the book Harry wouldn't have goten to go the Hogwarts and he never would have learned how to cast spells and make potions.

  1. Remember what I said Cody about those "if" statements. They constitute weak analysis. Go on the affirmative and explore what Hagrid's role IS in the novel.

    I would say this is not a particularly strong example of Refusal of the Call, because Harry the Hero is not refusing the call: he is forced to leave.

    Can you think of a better example?

    Italicize book titles.
