Reading Notes: Ravana Humbled Part A

For this week's reading I chose to read Ravana Humbled, so I could get more inspiration for my Lord Ravana character in my Harry Potter remake.

• The first thing I noticed when reading the comic is of the two main characters that are arguing, Shiva and Parvati, one of them shares a name with one of the Patil Sisters in my Harry Potter story 
• This would be fun to have Parvati Patil say a story where she was named after the original Parvati 
• Ravananugraha
• I did not know there was a story all about Ravana (the demon king)
• This will be very helpful in my development of Ravana as my new Lord Voldemort
• From my research I found that after being trapped under the mountain for thousand of years, Shiva finally let him out because of his beautiful singing 
• Shiva also granted him the sword Chandrahasa.
• In my version he will use a wand gifted by Shirva
• I am torn between this Ravana and the one we meet in the Ramayana 
• This one has so many redeemable qualities that make you forget he is still a demon 
• Using this new information I need to rethink how I will introduce Lord Ravana back at Hogwarts
• One idea is I could have him attack the school
• An attack on Hogwarts would be sudden and throw the students into the midst of it. 
• The next idea is that Dumbledore or McGonagall could announce to the class that the school is on lockdown because the Dark Lord is back. This would basically run like a press conference to the entire school
