Harry Potter is a wizard that has lived through the death curse, which nobody ever has before. This has made him a celebrity of the wizard world. He has been entered in the Tri-Wizard Cup, But he didnt enter himself and foul play is at hand. The first task; get the egg from the dragon.
 
This portrays Harry perfectly in two conflicts. The first is that he is fighting a dragon, which would lead to the conflict being physical. The battle and flying is all part of that. But also there was the conflict of fear before Harry fought the dragon also. He overcame the overwhelming fear of fighting such a beast. This was shown through Harry's contemplation in the tent before the fight.

Specificity

Here is the background, The Wolf is an owner of an investment firm. The man on the subway was the agent that took him down. He was offered a life of riches and turned it down, this is him regretting it. Also, when Jordan Belfort (Wolf)  was finding guys to sell stocks with him, he asked for them to sell him a pen, one of them did it perfectly. This symbolizes him starting all over again.

 I love the ending. Not because of he got what was coming, but because of the drawing from previous parts of the story. It made the conversations matter. You realize that they weren't just talking, it affected their lives as well. Also the characters in this film are very real. Not only does the agent think about what if, you also see a small amount of regret in his eyes that he did just leave Jordan alone and get in on the money.
