For my blog about someone overcoming a struggle I chose to talk about Harry Potter. In the fourth book, The Goblet of Fire, Harry participates in the tri-wizard tournament. Every task that he has to complete is an example of overcoming a struggle he has. The first thing that Harry has to do is try and steal and egg from a mother dragon guarding her nest. The next job that the competitors had to perform was to swim down to the bottom of the lake and rescue someone who meant a lot to them from the merpeople. There were these creatures in the water that tried and slow him down and stop him. One of the competitors failed to retrieve their loved one so Harry went back and rescued her. The last thing that Harry had to do was travel through a maze full of obstacles and reach the center where the trophy was. Not only did Harry Potter have to go through the many struggles in the tournament but also when he reached for the trophy him and Cedric were transported to a graveyard were Voldemort was waiting. I really liked this part of the book because it was always interesting and I never wanted to put the book down. The author does a great job describing how Harry felt through all of this. It was kind of like I could picture myself there in the stands at the tournament.
