The rising action's purpose is usually to build suspense all the way up the climatic finish. The rising action should not be confused with the middle of the story, but is the action right before the climax. For example: In Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone Harry must go through a set of tasks to reach where the sorceror's stone is hidden where he will have the final battle. These are the actions leading directly up to the climax where Harry must face the thief who is trying to get the stone.
