Fantasy-Theme Criticism Artifact
The artifact I chose to analyze for fantasy-theme criticism is the new Harry Potter Theme Park in Orlando, Florida. I thought this was perfect because Harry Potter has become so popular, there was certainly a shared vision encompassed when coming up with ideas for an amusement park meaning a symbolic convergence present. The setting theme is the actual theme park itself with all of the individual sections, including rides and different places. For instance, the school Hogwarts will have a different atmosphere versus the train station. The character themes are all of the different characters poured into this theme park with the help of J.K. Rowling's vision through the original Harry Potter books. There will be a ton of wizards and witches and the muggles (non-magical humans)who are essentially the tourists have the option of pretending to be wizards or witches. The action themes will include anything of energy value. The rides are included in this. The making of a wand and casting a spell is considered an action theme. The Harry Potter theme park is a regular world transformed into a land of fantasy and magic through the shared vision of many people, including the tourists attending with certain expectations of what is to come.
