As such, Rowling explores themes such as Umbridge’s cruelty and abuse towards students and her abuse of her power.
If you want to maximize the potential of your story, there’s no need to stop at a single story arc. Dramatic structures aren’t set in stone and changing them up is always an option. Creating lesser arcs within the main narrative arc adds further interest and tension in your work and can help you develop themes and characters. For example, in the Harry Potter series, while Harry Potter’s main antagonist is Voldemort, there are subplots within each novel. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the lesser conflict is with the antagonist, Dolores Umbridge. As such, Rowling explores themes such as Umbridge’s cruelty and abuse towards students and her abuse of her power.
