Harry Potter and Friendship
Harry Potter's first three years at Hogwarts were certainly filed with danger and excitement, but that was nothing compared to the fourth! For an exciting difference, instead of playing Quidditch, two students from Hogwarts, one being Harry, competed against two other schools in The Triwizard Tournament. Not to mention that Harry came face to face with his worst enemy and barley walked away from the encounter. There were also new friendships formed, as well as old friendships maimed. Without friendship, Harry Potter could not have survived his fourth year at Hogwarts.Sometimes someone who is considered a friend could actually be an enemy. In Harry's case, Mad-Eye Moody was an enemy in disguise. Mad-Eye Moody was hired as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. He befriended Harry and aided him in succeeding his tasks for the Triwizard Tournament. Later Harry had discovered that Mad-Eye Moody was actually Barty Crouch, who is a follower of Voldemort. He only assisted Harry at winning so that he would be murdered by Voldemort. "'Who put your name in the Goblet of Fire, under the name of a different schoo

Before Harry performed this dauntless act, Fleur barley knew Harry was alive. "'You saver 'er,' fleur said breathlessly. 'even though she was not your 'ostage'"(Rowling 505). This just proves that some people's friendship must be won over first. In doing this selfless act that possibly endangered Harry's life, he gained Fleur's gratitude, trust and friendship. Loyalty is also important in a friendship. Two years prior, Harry met a house elf Dobby and set him free from his wicked master. Dobby began to work in the Hogwarts kitchens and he visited Harry from time to time. When Harry learned that the second Triwizard Tournament task would require him to breathe underwater, he spent all his waking hours researching, with Ron and Hermione's help, for something that would allow him to do so. They couldn't find anything in all the books and he was just about to give up until dobby aided him by giving him gillyweed. "'Dobby is quite sure, sir' said the elf earnestly. 'Dobby
