Harry is soon in all of his classes learning about his parents and where he comes from. On Halloween a troll is let loose in the building and Professor Quirrrell informs the school during dinner causing mass chaos. Ron and Harry realize that Hermione is in the bathroom and doesn’t know about the troll. They go and find Hermione to tell her and they encounter the troll in the girl’s bathroom. In a combined effort that Harry leads they take down the troll. When three people take down a troll together there’s no denying a bond was made. From then on the three are inseparable. A few nights later when they are lost in the castle they stumble upon a forbidden corridor that is housing a three headed dog. This three headed dog is sitting on a door in the floor. Later on they notice Snape is limping, it looks as though he was trying to get past the three headed dog on Halloween. The trio also learns what is under that door, the sorcerer’s stone that has the elixir of life. One that drinks that elixir can become immortal. The trio also finds out that Voldemort could use the sorcerer’s stone to come back to life as a whole person and they believe Snape is trying to get the stone for Voldemort. Harry, Ron and Hermione go to the door that the three headed dog is guarding. They see that someone has already gotten through the door so they go through the door too. They want to stop Snape from getting the sorcerer’s stone for Voldemort. First they must get though an obstacle course of magic rooms the professors of Hogwarts set up. Ron risks his life to help save the stone from Voldemort and ends up hurt. Harry tells Hermione to stay with Ron and take care of him and call for help, Harry must go on to stop Snape by himself. Finally Harry makes it to the end of the rooms and finds Professor Quirrell. Professor Quirrell is trying to get the stone out a mirror designed by Professor Dumbledore. When Harry asks professor Quirrell why he is trying to get the stone, the professor revels that he has been sharing his body with Voldemort. Quirrell demands Harry help him get the stone because Voldemort tells Quirrell, Harry knows how. Voldemort tells Harry that he can give him back his parents, the thing Harry wants most in the world if he give him the stone. agically Harry gets the stone in his pocket. (We later find out he was able to get the stone because he wanted it to stop Voldemort from getting it but not he did not want it for himself). Quirrell realizes that Harry has the stone and attacks him, but his hands turn to ash when he touches Harry. Harry realizes this and puts his hands on Quirrels face. After a little Quirrell is a pile of ashes but Voldemort has been released from Quirrells body and he floats through Harry and flies off. The next scene is Harry in a hospital bed. Dumbledore comes in and tells Harry that that Voldemort did not get the stone and the stone will be destroyed.

Harry is a type three hero according to Rollin; for he is not above men or his environment but he is a leader(Rollin, 435). He is a leader in the wizarding world, just by being alive and he is a leader to his friends. Harry also resembles Tayo a Native American hero from Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko. Tayo must first become separated from his tribe before he can become a hero. Tayo must become isolated from himself to become powerful enough to carry out the ceremony he is “embroiled in” (Allen, p. 123). Harry too was separated from himself, from who he truly is. He does not even know who he truly is until his eleventh birthday. Once he is reunited with who he is supposed to be he saves the world (over and over again in movies that follow). Harry is seen as a hero figure and like a hero he is moral. He chooses to stay with friends not for their money but for the content of their character. He defends friends that are in trouble as he did with Hermione. He gives up the chance to have the thing he wants most in the world because he does not want to commit an evil act. He does not want to join a being that he knows will kill innocent people. He tries to stop the man who killed his parents and many others. Harry is the embodiment of morality.
It is interesting the morals that are in this movie. There are evils that are committed that on differing levels. Both can be deemed immoral depending on the definition of evil that is used. This movie parallels our universe. The movie mimics our universe with great farce, that is where the movie gets its authority (Bhabha, p. 85). We have great evils in our world, murderers, rapists and terrorist. We also have minor evils in our world, hopefully there aren’t any children living under stairwells but there are people suing for getting burned by coffee that warns it’s too hot. Just as we are forced to see the difference between Harry’s evil uncle we should see the difference between coffee and a mass murderer.
