Remember Harry Potter?
Remember ´The Prisoner of Azkaban´?
Harry´s godfather is named Sirius Black. He is an animagus, which is a wizard/witch that can turn into an animal. In his case he turns into a dog, a big black dog. The first time Harry sees him in this novel he appears in the "black alleyway" and when he lights his wand and what he sees is "the hulking outline of something very big, with wide, gleaming eyes." That image makes me think of bright stars on a dark, moonless sky.
Also, in the novel, J.K. Rowling lets us know that Sirius´dad was called "Orion Black". Sirius turns out to be one of the most important characters in Harry´s life.
J.K Rowling once said in an interview that she liked to give her characters distinctive and special names, most of which she had written down and collected at any point in her life when she had found them interesting.
**Sirius,(the star) is the brightest in the sky and is in the dog that follows Orion around.**
This kind of well thought details make me enjoy even more Rowling´s series and other pieces of literature I've read. I encourage you all to pay more atention to details like this one. You never know when you will find something really interesting or that relates a lot to you.

Susy I thought this was very interesting due to the fact that I like literature and Harry Potter myself very much. I had'nt had the chance to realize the connection between Sirius and his dad and how it relates to the stars. This is called characterization in literature.
