- escaping or being diverted from the real world problems- an e.g would be that harry potter is based on wizardry which most people believe doesn't exist so we use harry potter's world for escapism.
- adrenaline rush - exciting/scary scenes such as during the last battle between harry and lord voldermort where we can see that both characters struggle to survive, a battle between good and bad. the exciting part was when harry used his powers against voldermort and still succeeded regardless of his age and ability as voldermort was older and was much more powerful and he had an advantage over harry because he had in his possession the most powerful wand in the world. and harry still won this battle. the scariest part was when the film gave the impression that harry may not survive.
- spectacle-these are things which you would not see in real life and e.g in harry potter is mythical beasts such as the troll and the three headed dog (fluffy), flying on broomsticks, a chess game used with magic where the pieces get beheaded rather than just removed from the board.
- catharsis- this is when you release negative emotions in a safe way, when the audience watch harry potter we sympathise with harry and his friends when a task can not be completed without battle or influence of bad from rivals. the film reels you in as you find yourself screaming encouragement for harry to conqeur his battles.
here is a clip of the final battle between harry and lord voldermort
