History[edit] A Phoenix first appears in the series in the Chamber of Secrets. Harry is in Dumbledore’s office, alone with the bird as it bursts into flames, startling him. Dumbledore then explains the nature of the phoenix and lifts Fawkes from the ashes, a baby once more and places him on his perch.

In reality, death is a central theme to the books, and plays a vital role in Harry’s life and experiences at Hogwarts. Rowling teaches the reader about death using Harry’s evolution as a character, and her main message is that we should never fear death.

The Main Theme of the book The main conflict of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is between Harry and Voldemort. Harry Potter finds the Sorcerer’s Stone and Voldemort (who killed Harry’s parents) wants that Stone to so he can rule Hogwarts. Then Voldemort will turn the school ( Hogwarts) evil.

Yes, but when a phoenix dies it turns to ash, and then is reborn from the ashes. Phoenixes don’t die. If a part of Harry’s soul is going to live forever inside a phoenix, then that part of his soul will never die.

Their goal was to lift the International Statute of Secrecy so that Wizards could reveal their existence to Muggles and dominate them “for the greater good.” That’s why Grindelwald appropriates the sign of the Hallows as his own symbol.

1943: Voldemort creates his first horcrux. 1945: Voldemort leaves Hogwarts and disappears. Albus defeats Grindelwald in a duel, winning control of the Elder Wand and ending the Global Wizarding War. March 1998: Voldemort kills Grindelwald in Nurmengard in an attempt to gain control of the Elder Wand.

The child has to know about their magic in order to suppress it, though – that’s why Harry Potter never developed an Obscurus. Harry was never told to suppress his magic, he was just told that magic didn’t exist. He was not aware of his magical powers until he was 11.
