Blog Post 1- Expectations

I think this series is a great example of the author fulfilling our expectations because JK Rowling continuing throughout the series gives the audience what they want. We as the audience want to see Harry and the gang succeed, and you see this in ever book we have read. In the chamber of secrets when I found out Ginny was taken and could die Harry saves the day and that is what I wanted to happen as the reader. Ginny was so young and innocent and you tend to just have some love for the Weasley's so you're expectations are that Harry is going to take care of her and by defeating Tom Riddle and rescuing Ginny and Hogwarts my expectations as a reader were fulfilled. I find myself also having expectations for the characters I don't like such as Malfoy, every time he pops up and makes a smart remark to Harry, Ron or Hermione I want something bad to happen to him, or for them to get even with him. Although my expectations are not always fulfilled right away they usually are at somepoint in the book, or later on in that specific chapter. That is something I really like about these books, although you're expectations might not always be fulfilled right away eventually I feel like they are or they will be, and that is what keeps me wanting to read on and find out exactly what is going to happen.
