Pros

    courageous, Expands The Harry Potter World


JUL
8
2009

Our fourth year at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

 

Oh Harry, such turmoil and triumph you experience  for someone at such a young age. 
Perhaps it's because I know what's coming.

 

Perhaps.....

Because I agree like you do ( Harry ) that believing in good shall always prevail over evil.  Even if it means that you have to do  the same evil you are fighting against in order to save those you love.

Book 4, it's a turning point in the writing of JK Rowling.  The genius of JK is that people who have read her series will see that she starts our writing for children, and as these children that have been with her from the beginning will see, her writing changes to a much more broad audience.

Book 4 is full of what you would expect from the Potter series, it's full of triumph and tribulation.  Love and hate...... and I use those words at their basic meaning in order to show the audience that the battle between that which is right, and that which is easy is always at the forefront of logic, life, liberty and personal solace.

The basics of book 4 is simple.  Harry finally meets face to face the enemy that can not be named.  He begins to understand his unique connection to that which all fear.

Such passion and dignity he performs the tasks that are put in front of him.

In my own personal opinion in this book we see a very interesting perspective of the constant battle that we all as humans face between what we want, and what we know is right.  Even if that means we have to face that darkness that is constantly over our shoulder.

5 out of 5

I have never read a HP book, seen a movie, etc. I tried twice. There must be something wrong with me:)

As a dancer, I completely understand what you are saying.

From dancer to dancer, all I have to say is this.

Breathe, and let it flow through you. CONGRATS on this accomplishment.

I'm sorry to hear you aren't well right now. Me, I'm dancing and you know what that can do for the spirit. It lifts us up into heavenly places, gives our feet the ability to fly and takes us into a world of fantasy and fairytales. After hours and months in the dance studio we are performing our summer dance, Swan Princess. Last night was our first show. We will dance again tomorrow, a matinee and evening show on Saturday and an encore for the children's hospital on Sunday. Then my dance season is over until next February or March.

I am dealing with some health issues. It's a bit scary in my world at this moment. But life can and will go on! So I am trying to get my voice and loves out there.

How have you been?
