Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - This is the first Harry Potter review since I have started this blog. And because I am so fond of the books and films there will probably be more ramblings regarding the series as a whole then the specific quality of the film. Needless to say, since I was introduced to the Harry Potter craze at the first film, I have yet to forgive my parents for not sending me Hogwart's. Ok, I know Hogwart's is not a real place, but the idea of this extraordinary world took me and millions under its spell. The fantasy of Harry, Ron and Hermione takes a dark turn in this first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. As this book was already strong, I anticipated the film would offer the same connection I found through reading. I felt the division of this book really benefits the story telling of this in-depth conclusion to a series so many are deeply invested in.

I have always found myself to be a bit of kindred spirit with Harry. If you are at all invested in the characters, you are aware that Harry lost his parents at a young age. The real emotions that Harry goes through dealing with that loss are ones I can relate to. I lost a parent in my teens, granted there was no magic involved but it is a tragic process none the less. This installment's plot forces Harry to make peace but also find reason in the deaths of his parents. Again Harry's journey comes down to the differences between good and evil, but a muggle, such as myself, has the same struggles with life and death. Trying to find a greater meaning through the death of a parent is a hopeless search, but one that forces you to find your own strength and discover who you can truly lean on. Not to mention I have my own Hermione, a platonic friend who thinks logically when you cannot and offers support in the best way for you, even when all seems lost. Plus they can see the best in you when you cannot and know just how to pick you back up.

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone. He told the Idaho Statesman that he may have "overreacted," but that he did not punch the teen. Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone
