Varna Vinyāsa Vakrta: 

In the fourth book, Professor McGonagall, targeting the females in the room, states “Inside ever girl a secret swan slumbers” and targeting boys in the class, she states “Inside every boy a lordly lion prepared to prance” She uses the alliteration as rhetoric to persuade the students to dance and to convey the seriousness of the situation to the students. (Rowling) 

Besides, Rowling make use of varna vinyāsa vakarta by using the alliterative names of many characters, i.e. Dudley Durnsley, Daedalus Dingle, Severus Snape, Gregory Goyle, and so on. 

Pada Purvārdh Vakarta 

Rowling has used various adjectives to describe characteristics of different characters. i.e. Description of infant Harry “Under a tuft of jet-black hair over his forehead they could see a curiously-shaped cut, like a bolt of lightning” (Rowling) The scar on his body is described as something very special-unique scar. 

Besides, the description of Voldemort, “Where there should have been a back to Quirrell’s head, there was a face, the most terrible face harry had ever seen. It was chalk white with glaring red eyes and slits for nostrils, like a snake” (Rowling) 

Pada Pratyay Vakarta  

Something that might be unusual to Rowling’s work is the level of agency she gives her characters in grammar while often making their language within dialogue rather simple. (Scribd) during the final adventure, Harry, Ron, and Hermione find themselves “eyes watering, they saw, flat on the floor in front of them, a troll even larger than the one they had tackled , out cold on the floor with a lump on his head” (Rowling) 

Vakya Vakrata 

Sahaja vakarta 

In the first book, there is one statement “Mars is bright tonight.” (Rowling)  which does not mean the brightness of mars but there is a reference to the Roman God of war that is Mars. It implies that war is coming.  

Ahraya vakarta 

In the second book, the tininess of a Muggle world seen from their great height in the flying car as “a great city alive with cars like multicolored ants” (Rowling) Here, Rowling uses simile to show the tininess of the Muggle world. 

Prakaran Vakarta 

Obliquity of Emotional State

There is one statement in third book “So…you are going to suffer but you are going to be happy about it.” (Ahlin) Which creates suspense in the mind of reader that what exactly will happen with Harry, which will make him suffer and at the same time he will also be happy for that. 

Besides, each book of harry Potter has different miseries. Some characters i.e. Snap-Quirrell in first book, and Malfoy-Ginny in second book are suspicious characters. 

Obliquity of Episodic Relationship 

All the series of Harry Potter are connected logically with each other. There are various connecting links in Harry Potter series: 

Complexity and confusion 

Cloak of invisibility 

Past of Harry’s parents 

Obliquity of Modified Source Story 

In the first book, putting a little child Harry in the custody of maternal uncle-aunt by the trio of Dumbledore, Mcgonagall, and Hagrid reminds of the birth of Jesus Christ and three Magi. 

Voldemort is obsessed with blood purity that can be connected with Hitler who was obsessed with racism; he literally hated the Jewish people. In a same way, Voldemort hates half-bloods (Either mother or father could perform magic.) and muggles (Whose parents could not perform magic.) He believes that only pure bloods (Whose mother and father both could perform magic.) 

Prabandh Vakartā 

All the series of Harry Potter have logical connection, a proper arrangement of all the events, and the uniqueness of presenting the whole story in seven parts. That is the use of prabandh vakartā. 

Conclusion 

Kuntaka has given six types of vakartā. Here, we have tried to find all these types in Harry Potterseries by Rowling. The series has taken as a whole. All the types of Vakrokti are available in this work.
