The writing "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," by Roger Ebert and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2: An Action-Packed Curtain Call," by Andrew O'Hehir were writings based on each author's opinion on "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" movie. From Roger Ebert's point of view on the movie he writes about how part 2, and the finale of this movie served as an appropriate finale reaching back to seven previous films. He talks about the characters Harry, Hermoine, and Ron growing up into more mature adult characters. The movie was like a reunion for all characters basically. He began to question the setting of the movie whether if it was really set in Britain or, either somewhere else with the exception of british actors. The movie is just based on magical romanticism where one magical creature fights for the power of another. …show more content…
So it should be. That makes it particularly inappropriate for the additional dimness of 3-D,". Andrew O'Hehir's writing, and point of view of 'harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" was more accurate from someone who had an oppossing dissatisfaction about the movie. he described it as an Epic Fantasy, that has no beginning an no middle, but with an two-plus hours of thundering, momentousendings. O'Hehir provides many references, like Edmund Wilson, one of the twentith century's greatest cultural critics. He talks about the movie basically being a grave and violent picture built around the large-scale destruction of Hogwarts, Harry Potter's beloved alma mater and the conclusion of a final confrontation between Harry between Harry (Radcliffe) and the reptile-headed Dark Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), who are linked to each other in ways they don't quite
selling books to date. This novel, written by Joanne Kathleen Rowling, sold almost two million copies within the first 24 hours of its worldwide release.

In the novel, Harry’s story is truthful; however, others believe it to be a rather far fetched lie, resulting in only a select group of people
... book her characters are very three dimensional. She takes the time in the book to fully develop her characters which allows the reader to connect with them and stay interested in reading the book. In developing Harry Potter she makes sure that he is seen as a normal boy who is going through hard times, like every child does, and then throughout the book his character unfolds and becomes the hero in the book. This shows the children that read it that they can get through whatever is thrown at them and to never give up. Throughout the book we continue to see real world v. fantasy. This stuck out to me the most because it shows the children that read it how to have their own imagination to help them get through the hard times in their lives. Harry starts out as a young boy living in a closet but because of his fantasy world ends up being a very strong well known boy.
The movie is, most likely, done well enough to intrigue its intended audience. It captured the theme and story line of the book. It falls short, though, when compared to the beautiful, sensitive and contemplative prose of Natalie Babbitt. One could only hope that a viewing of the film will lead the watcher to try the book and be delighted all the more.
The Goblet of Fire is also the first Harry Potter film to be directed by an Englishman, Mike Newell, best known for Four Weddings and a Funeral and Donnie Brasco. Like his predecessor Alfonso Cuarón, he has little time for anything sappy or sugary. "Dark and difficult times lie ahead" is one of the things that
A nurse has many responsibilities in their job. While performing those duties, it is vital that they maintain good professional character. What is good professional character and how does it incorporate into the workplace? This paper will delve into the different character traits that the professional nurse should possess. These traits include the ability to tell “right from wrong, think and act rationally, keep promises and honor obligations, be accountable for their behavior, recognize and honor interpersonal boundaries, and promptly and fully self-disclose facts, circumstances, events, errors/omissions” (Nursing, Texas Board of, 2013).
Just to quickly run through the two previous books; Harry Potter is a wizard, who’s parents were killed by the worst dark wizard ever known. The reason why Harry Potter is still around, is because Lord Voldemort failed to kill Harry. His spell hit Harry, but then backfired on Voldemort taking all of his powers with him. Harry is so famous for two things. Withstanding the powers of Lord Voldemort, and, taking him back in to the underworld in hiding. In the first book, Harry receives a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He’s eventually allowed to go, and spends the next six months there learning magic, getting into trouble, and trying to solve mysteries of his past, and the school. In the second book, Harry goes back to his second year at Hogwarts, and gets into more trouble, figures out many astonishing mysteries and learns loads more magic. His best friends in the two books consist of Ron and Hermione (two of his fellow wizard students) and Hagrid the gamekeeper who was expelled from Hogwarts but allowed a job as the gamekeeper.
To start off Roald Dahl uses situational irony many times in the story to really make the theme come to life at the end. When Harry says “... I felt something on my chest, behind the book. Soft trickling(Page 1).” When he says that he's referring to the krate that is supposedly on his chest. This could be very dangerous for Harry because krates are a venomous snake that are very deadly. Another interesting quote from Harry was “...Hours and bloody hours and hours.
...ave evolved about the subject matter of these books. The greatest controversy, though, centers on the series’ religious references, which have caused many parents to despise the “immoral” concepts of the stories and forbid their children from reading these books. Such people feel that Rowling promotes paganism through the magic performed by the characters, and promotes evil through various connections to Satan. Still, Harry Potter does not reflect the practices of Wicca and good always overpowers evil in the end; therefore, we should not be concerned with the effects of the series on children, or even adults. After all, readers have been enjoying stories containing magical references for centuries and humanity has not suffered because of it. Harry Potter is just another magical story and should be enjoyed, rather than judged because of its controversial references.
The book is very exciting in a way that it is like climbing a mountain and reaching the top. It keeps you at the edge of your seat. The “achilles heel” of the book is that there isn’t one you have to read the next two books to see all the movies. You can’t judge this book by it’s cover even though it’s long it is still a great

The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
Also, theme is mature and younger audiences wouldn’t be able to grasp the ultimate goal of the author. As for my recommendations, I don’t have much to add, except for great job to the director and writer, the story flows smoothly the novel’s adaptation is true to the book’s descriptions. Lastly, a round of applause to the great cast that brought the characters to life, they truly made the film memorable to not only me but other audiences that have the pleasure of watching this

The Harry Potter phenomenon had its humble beginning all the way back in the 1990s, when the first book, written by J. K. Rowling, came out in the shops. The main protagonist, a scrawny, young child wizard, who wore round glasses, had an immediate appeal to the readers, but no one at that time knew that the young boy would turn out to be the literary icon of the last decade. The popularity of the book resulted in it being translated into various language...
