Although Harry is largely pure of heart, there are a few examples of circumstances in which he falls victim to some of the traits of the novel's typically "bad" characters. When Harry receives the gift of the Nimbus 2000, part of him enjoys the power that it allows him to have over Malfoy, who is clearly jealous. Does the desire for power like this make people "bad"? Is power a good or bad thing? In what other ways can people exercise power over others?

# data[].attributes.body
Just as Harry needs love and friendship in order to feel protected, so too does Hermione - which is why Ron's words cut so harshly. She has yet to make the deep kind of connection and friendship that Ron and Harry have, and this makes her feel vulnerable, unwanted, and unloved. Is there ever a time when you have felt similarly to Hermione? Do you find friendship to hold the same kind of value? Why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
There are several times when we have seen Harry break the rules, with positive consequences. When he goes after Malfoy and the Remembrall, only to be put of the Quidditch team, and then given a broom. And, now, when he defies Dumbledore's orders for all students to go to their dormitories, to save Hermione, and is rewarded with House points. Is there ever a time when it is okay to break the rules? If so, how and why? If not, why not? Have you ever broken the rules, and been rewarded for it, like Harry?

# data[].attributes.body
The moment where Hermione lies to protect Ron and Harry, after they risked their lives to save her, is a crucial turning point for her character. In what ways does this demonstrate that she is a true Gryffindor? In what ways does this experience bond them together? Can adversity provide the opportunity for growth? Can it make you stronger? Explain why you feel this way. Be specific in your examples.

Power is not neccasarily bad. It is okay to have joy when you have something better that someone, but it is not okay when you start being rude about it and pointing it out. People excersize power over others by acting like you are better than other people. So Power can be bad but not always.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because absolute power will corrupt someone with enough time. Power can be terrible. You can force them to do stuff for you.

Yes, When I Got A Printer, I Felt Like A God, But Anyways, It Can Probably Corrupt Him

# data[].attributes.body
The desire for a sort of power, like absolute power, would make people bad, but with other types of power, I'd say it wouldn't turn people bad necessarily. Power is a thing that can be good or bad, and it depends on how you look at it. You can exercise power over others, like having some kind of ripple effect, if you're at the top.

# data[].attributes.body
power is bad when it goes to your head and you think you're god.

I don't believe having a desire for power is bad, it's just what you choose to do with that power. Would you use it for good or bad? That's up to Harry.

power can be good or bad depending on the person like voldamort uses power for bad but harry will use for good

Power is not all bad somethings, people with power can use their power for good but when people use their power for bad things that's when it becomes bad, people could exercise power over others by helping them in things that they need and use it for good

No power doesn't make you bad. Power is a good thing because you can do anything. By being smarter than someone.

# data[].attributes.body
The desire for power is not necessarily bad, but rather your intent with it, Power is not good or bad, it just comes down to who the power comes too and their heart.
If you want power for good, it can do very good things, and if it comes into the hands of someone bad, it can be very dangerous. People can find weaknesses in people and take advantage of those weaknesses if they truly want power over them, however power over someone is usually not good.

# data[].attributes.body
I have felt similar to Hermione since the third grade, for a lot of reasons. And I do see friendship as a valuable thing because it would be better to have someone to say share knowledge with than keeping it to yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think it makes people bad necessarily but it does give them a lot of ambition,I think power is a good thing but what makes it bad is if someone does wrong with that power, People can exercise power with knowledge over others.

friendship is valuable and i have felt like herminoe cause if you don't have friendship you fell lonely and getting rejected can sometimes make you less confident

I think the desire to have power isn't necessarily all "bad" it just depends on your intentions.

# data[].attributes.body
There are a lot of instances when breaking the rules would be a good thing. Like, say there's injustice in the school rules itself, and the reasonable thing to do is to break them to help get it changed. As much as I'd like to have been rewarded for something like that, I've never been rewarded for breaking the rules.

# data[].attributes.body
This desire for power does not necessarily make people bad. Power can be a good or bad thing depending on who possesses it. People can exercise power over others by having a higher rank or social class than others.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the desire for power is MOST of the time bad. Not all the time is the desire for power bad. It's just that you need context to decide whether a character's desire for power is a bad or good thing. People sometimes take it too far and show off their power over another person. This is not right.

# data[].attributes.body
I have felt this way before. I hold friendship to the same value because 1 friend can be worth 1,000 relatives.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like this when my parents dont want me on my phone but dont talk to me so i use phone anyway hahahahahahah

I think internally, Hermione might want to befriend them both as closer friends so that could have been a huge rejection that cut her deep.

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe that power can make people bad because when they do get power, they might feel corrupt and want to desire more of it. In my opinion, I feel like power is a bad thing because it can cause people to corrupt easily. People can exercise power over others by starting small and very slowly becoming a bigger amount to not corrupt anybody.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never gotten anything good after breaking rules, I feel like the only reason he's getting rewarded is because he's "The chosen one" which I don't get because all he did was not die when some bald dude with no nose tried killing him.

I have definetely felt like hermione before. I do value good friendships. I think having friends is very important so you can actually have fun and live a good life.

# data[].attributes.body
I have felt a time similarly to hermione.I do think friendship holds the same value its a very special relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
I think power is a good thing if you use it correctly, you can make power or the desire for power a bad thing by doing bad things with it or because you don't have it. I think of power in a good way as leadership and if you lead people towards doing good things then you are using your power correctly

# data[].attributes.body
Wanting power doesn't necessarily make a person bad because it depends on that persons intent. You can exercise power over others by making them feel inferior or less than you.

# data[].attributes.body
The desire of power doesn't necessarily make a person bad it mostly depends on the person themself

# data[].attributes.body
yes, there was this cool thing i like to call "moving away"

# data[].attributes.body
The desire for power like this I feel wouldnt turn people bad, but, the desire for power like absolute power could turn people bad if the thought of having that much power goes to their head and corrupts them. Power can be both good and bad based on how you look and use it, Voldemort for example uses his power for evil and control over others while Dumbledore uses it for good and healing.

# data[].attributes.body
I have felt like Hermione before when i had no friends.yes because you can count on friends.

Hermione is in a trio where the trio is actually a duo, Ron and Harry. Those values of love and safety are needed in a friendship because if not, what is a friendship?

power can corrupt even the nicest people but that doesn't mean it's necessarily bad for people who have good intentions.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I don't recall a time where I have felt similar to Hermione. I do hold friendship to hold that same kind of value. Friends influence you and build you to the person you are today, having good friends is also important because they help you and keep you company.

# data[].attributes.body
It is okay to break rules that seem dumb, and it is also acceptable to break rules when something really important is on the line like hermione with the troll. I can't recall any time that i have been rewarded for breaking rules because i am a good child and student and listen to the rules. :)

# data[].attributes.body
NO NEVER it ok it break the rules (but if you need to something important (like really important))
Because u will get in trouble if you get caught.
Nope

# data[].attributes.body
Hermione demonstrated she was a true Gryffindor by taking the blame instead of Harry and Ron taking it. This brought them together because Hermione showed the two of them she can indeed be nice to befriend them, especially after Harry and Ron saving her from the troll. Adversity can indeed provide opportunity if you can look into the other person. And it can make you stronger. Like, my friend and I would argue over our knowledge, a lot. And this helps us both until now, since we're still flexing our knowledge while helping each other.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a time to break the rules but only when it will do good for others, And if the rule is unfair in a way, I have broken the rules sometimes by accident, I've never been rewarded for breaking a rule

# data[].attributes.body
It really depends on the situation. If you break rules for the fun of it or bad intention then it wouldn't be okay. But if you break rules to prove something or with a good intention it should be okay. I've always been a "goody-two-shoes" so I have never broken a rule, or one I remember.

In my opinion desire for power could make a person turn "bad" if it corrupts you. But it isn't always that way and a person's desire for power can simply make them work harder. I think power is a good thing as long as you don't get so desperate for it that you hurt the ones around you. Some ways are strength or money.

# data[].attributes.body
This proves that she is a true Gryffindor because she helped her friends. This experience bonds them by putting them in a life or death situation. It can help you become stronger and experience growth. I feel this way because I went through this yesterday.

I think that I've definitely felt like Hermione before but it doesn't happen much anymore. I feel as if I've found where I'm safe and i get enough affection.

# data[].attributes.body
I have sort of felt similarly to Hermione a few times in my life. ;-; For example, when I first moved to a new school you don't know anyone, and this made me feel alone, yet, there were so many people around me but I felt like no one was there. I find friendship comforting and fun, it can lead to some very funny moments. :D

# data[].attributes.body
In my experience, I didn't remember any time when I have felt similar to Hermione. I do believe that friendship does hold the same value. I believe this way because friendship is something that is precious and shouldn't make anyone unfair to others.

# data[].attributes.body
to be honest i hardly have felt similarly to hermione because most of the time i stay with the same friends in the same schools

# data[].attributes.body
When Hermione told the teachers that being outside of the dormitories when they werent supposed to shows that she is like a Gryffindor because she was brave to tell the teachers the truth. The event shows Harry and Ron that Hermione really likes them and is willing to stand up for them. Adversity can definetely help them grow because different people and experiences can often pave the path for the life that you will have. Yes it can make you stronger. As i said different experiences can help you grow and know about different cultures and such.

# data[].attributes.body
The desire for power can be bad and good. If you want power to control people or make them follow what you want, then that is the type of power that can make someone bad. An example of a good type of power could be a loyal, honest, superhero's power. They use it to defeat the bad and make things right. The right amount of power is good when you have just the right amount of it. For example, your mom has power over you. Why? Because she is older and she gave birth to you. She is also your mom. :)

Sometimes you have to break the rules to do the right or safe decision, even if it disrespects authorities, sometimes it is required to break the rules. I havent been rewarded for breaking the rules necassarily but I have gotten away with it

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes, there are times where it is okay to break the rules, similar to the situation Harry was in, he heard Hermione screaming for help and went on the defeat the troll. I feel like Harry made the right decision to help Hermione because we may have never seen her again. No, I have never been rewarded for breaking the rules like Harry.

# data[].attributes.body
She is a true Gryffindor by having to lie and saving their lives, and sometimes you do have to lie to have good outcomes. She is willing to lie to them to save them and having the confidence to do that would make her a true Gryffindor

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, there are times to break rules and there mostly times to follow them. I believe this way because as long there is a way to control a broken rule, I will allow it. I have never been rewarded for rule breaking and that's why I'm afraid of breaking rules.

# data[].attributes.body
This shows that she is a true gryffindor by being bold and brave to lie to a teacher and break the rules which is something she is afraid of. this brings their bond together by knowing that all of them are going to trust each other and help each other. I do believe that mistakes and misfortune lead to learning them and preventing them in the furture. this make someone stronger by now knowing more than before, experinced how it feels, and prevent it from happening again. for instance, a person is failing their classes and having serious consequences. he then focuses on what he is failing at to study more in that subject. he then improves in subject and succeeded from his failures.

Power can be a good thing and a bad thing, it really just depends what you are using it for.

When 'Mione takes the blame for the incident she's telling a white lie to save Harry and Ron from getting punishments. Doing so she had a lot of nerve and chivalry.

I guess times I could relate to hermione was when she was always ignored. Also I find friendship to hold value.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that breaking rules should be done for things that are actually necessary.  I've definitely broken so many rules and for some of them I got rewarded for and other rules I've broken haven't even been found out.

# data[].attributes.body
It really just depends, im sure a brave person would break the rules to save their friend. Also I have not been rewarded for breaking rules.

Hermione shows being a true Gryffindor when she lies, showing true courage. Putting her friends before herself. After this Harry and Ron knows they can trust her because of her bravery.

# data[].attributes.body
This demonstrates her being a true gryffindor because it shows her being brave.I do think growth can lead to strength growth.

# data[].attributes.body
This shows that she is brave because it takes a lot of guts to tell a lye and get in trouble for something you didn’t do, it bonds them together because she took the fall for harry and Ron when she didn’t have to and shows that she isn’t as stuck up that they thought she was and that she could take the fall for people that she care about, adversity can provide opportunities for growth because she could learn from her misfortunes and know not to make those mistakes again, it can make you stronger because when you learn from you misfortunes you could gain knowledge from them and learn how to prevent them from happening to you again, I feel this way because in the second to last week of October I crack my head open from leaning in my chair and I learned never to lean In my chair again

There are times where it's okay to break the rules. This is because when it's about protecting someone the rules shouldn't matter until they are safe. I have not broken the rules and been rewarded for it like Harry.

# data[].attributes.body
One way this demonstrates that she is a Gryffindor is her courage to take the blame so her friends wouldn't get in trouble. One way is they have a lot more trust for each other now. It can make room for growth and it can also make you stronger. I feel this way because certain situation can strengthen one's self.

Personally, I think that the longing for power doesn't always make someone a bad person but I think that you would need to know their intentions with that power to be able to determine as to whether or not it's a good/bad thing.

# data[].attributes.body
For me I don't think that there has been a time in specific when I've felt like that, but I do think that friendships are one of the many things that I value most because I've created these bonds with people that could potentially become life long.

# data[].attributes.body
As I see it, sometimes it can be a mix of both mainly because of course there are going to be the times where it is necessary which in this case it is to save someone's life, but then there are the consequences that follow.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that yes, breaking the rules in certain instances can be a good thing. Like in Harry and Ron's case it was to save Hermione from the mountain troll, and if they didn't break the rules to save her she could have been done for. I don't think I have ever broken the rules and have been rewarded for it, but if I have I can not recall it.

# data[].attributes.body
Hermione showed that she was a true Gryffindor by taking the fall for Harry and Ron, as well as having to be brave enough to lie to the professors and bend the rules. This experience bonds them together because Hermione proved to them that she is not as stuck up and a goody-two-shoes as they thought, and she can be in fact be a very kind, trustworthy person/friend. Adversity can definitely provide the opportunity for growth, you can look back on the misfortunes and learn from them, find ways to possibly prevent them, and be better than before. I believe that yes, it can make you feel stronger. Say someone is failing their classes and gets a consequence from their parents because of this, well, they would most likely look back at this and try to prevent it from happening again by studying, focusing more, and putting more effort in those classes.

not in a certain relationship/ friendship ive felt like this all of the time but sometime people ive hung out with/ been friends with iv felt like her constantly

most of the time you shouldn't break the rules, but for certain causes, i feel likes it's okay. not always are there going to be positive consequences with officials but say if you did something for your friend they might repay you.

# data[].attributes.body
i think Hermione lied because as i said in the last question if you break the rules for someone they might repay you with kindness, and in this case, she did something for them. it can make their relationship stronger because they now have a good trust bond with each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I have probably felt like Hermione before but I can't remember. I think friendship holds value because without it, you can feel lonely and unwanted.

# data[].attributes.body
It depends on the rule(s). If it is a rule that has been made because of a small group of people, then I think it could be broken. Just not to an extent. I have broken some rules that I think are okay to break. One of them being chewing gum at school. I do this because I'm not those people that just spit it out anywhere and leave it there to get stuck on someone's shoe. Whenever I'm going to eat something or the gum lost flavor, I find a trashcan and throw it away.

# data[].attributes.body
This shows that Hermione is a true Gryffindor because she was brave enough to risk her being kicked out of Hogwarts just for her friends. It connects them more by showing that she can be more trusted and honest to each other. Adversity is different for every friendship. For most, it can show people's weaknesses, sensitive spots and tell you what to avoid when speaking to them. It can also make a relationship stronger by trusting each other more to not fight as much.
