In the novels “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” and “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”, J.K. Rowling uses tone and imagery in order to convey Harry’s experiences at Hogwarts, ultimately illustrating the details of the story. 

Firstly, Rowling begins by shifting the tone of the story during certain moments. For example, the tone shifts when Harry leaves the Dursley house and heads to Hogwarts. This indicates a new adventure starting because Harry’s curiosity begins to develop, which creates more understanding of the beginning of the story, which emphasizes the interpretation of the work as a whole. Consequently, since the author chooses to set the tone during different times, the development of the novel becomes crucial to the understanding of it, and creates tension when major aspects of the story occur. Furthermore, developing the tone increases the experience the reader goes through while Harry faces challengings due to the fact that the tone keeps the readers engaged and wanting to read more. The author chooses a certain tone for certain events to enhance the plot. Therefore, establishing a certain tone makes Harry’s experience much more significant; thus, the author demonstrates proper choices to develop the book and create the story she imagines. 

In addition, Rowling presents imagery to enhance the perspective the author is trying to create. For example, the author chooses a third person narrative to address all of the characters struggles when dealing with the obstacles they face. This demonstrates the use of imagery is important for the understanding because imagery adds details a first person narrative wouldn’t, and illustrates a better understanding of the characters’ values. Consequently, since the author chooses to describe the setting and the characters she presents, the interpretation of the story and its characters is well understood. Through the third person narration, the characters’ values are more significant because the variety of characters adds to the plot and structure of the story. Furthermore, the perspective that is created is enhanced by the imagery due to the fact that the imagery investigates the strugglings between all of the characters rather than just one. Therefore, the imagery intensifies the characters values and growth of the characters; thus displaying a better understanding of the different messages the story portrays. 

Overall, the use of tone and imagery magnifies the story's plot and perspective for a better understanding of the characters and the setting the author imagines herself.
