Another writer, Sekaringtyas 2015, conducts other study on Harry Potter novels and she uses the seventh book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. She
focuses on how Harry Potter experiences many conflicts with other characters in this novel and how those conflicts can be solved by the friendship with his two
close friends. In this study, the writer chooses to do a study of
Harry Potter’s personality development in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows. Thus, both novels are used in this study. The study about Harry Potter’s personality development by using the last two novels has not been
discussed yet.
B. Review of Related Theories
1. Theory of Critical Approaches
Guerin et al. 2005 state that sometimes senses deceives readers when reading a piece of literary work p. 5. Thus, it is needed to analyze literature as
well as read for pleasure. By analyzing, readers give respond to literature and appreciating literature as well. The writer needs to employ a critical approach in
order to have reasonable judgment. It is strengthened by Kennedy Gioia 2010 by saying that a critical approach makes imaginative literature more perceptive p.
678. Further, Guerin et al. 2005 mention six critical approaches to analyze
novels namely biographical approach, philosophical approaches, formalist approach, archetypal approaches, feminist approach, and psychological approach.
