Just ice
just ice in harry potter, though in a school enviroment, one we generally think as comforting,or really hell depending,
but also, there is no justice in the way people, with out correct evidence. Since he can speak parseltounge, he is the heir of slytherin, since dumbledore couldn't stop the attacks, it comes to the governers attention and he is fired, most of all rubeus hagrid is fired when he didn't open the chamber of secrets, riddle did, and Hagrid was framed.
HAGrid, though he has a liking for dangerous monsters, is kind, and would never have commited the crimes, it's not your abilities that define you, it's your choices.

harry potter 2 hard issues
There is a theme of assumption in this book because of harry being able to talk to snakes. Because of this ability everyone assumes that he is dangerous. In fact he is not the dangerous one at all bet the one who stops the danger from killing those in Hogwarts.
Also there is a theme of "stranger danger" because of the relationship between tom riddle and Ginny Weasly. When ginny becomes to attached to her diary it possess her and almost kills her, though this isn't quite the same as in real life it still represents the same idea of don't keep something close unless you know it's safe.
There is lastly a theme of loss of freedoms, in the beginning it's quite easy to see, with uncle Vernon barring harry inside of his room. but slowly all of harry's freedoms begin to get stripped away. he loses his friends, his quidditch games and his best friend. he begins to lose things and he begins to suffer more and more until he does something about it.

Archtype entry on the Giver
I think that, in The Giver, the shadow is the idea of perfection. The shadow is defined as the thing/character, that is the heroes main enemy.
Release for one, is a potentially perfect idea of a new, happy, life in elsewhere, while in actuallity, to the few that know it, it is an unnecessary death. Someone is released when they either, commit 3 major breaches against the rules, like a death penalty, for the old, when they whish to, or reach to old, they can apply for release or will be released, and the realease also goes for imperfect newborns, or twins.
no emotions or choices keeps everyone safe and content without war famine or anything humanity can bring on itself, but also stops love, individuality, and pain, for you can't be happy without sadness, it stops experience and growth.
To keep everything perfect isn't possible, for there must be complete control, which of course leads to corruption. With release one way and forced un - individuality the next it is not perfection which leads to a distopic hidden hell hole where a utopia is supposed to lie, it is the tempting desire to make perfect and to seize total control to do it, in essence, one of humanities main values, to make perfect, is one of our most frightening, in our desire to better everything we see, we strip it of everything it was, without our control, loosing its individuality.
Jonas is used to, and in the begining, somewhat unwilling to release the idea of perfection, however he does, when he realizes what human nature has done to all that was, and he never thought to notice it, or realize it was wrong.
