Harry Potter is a movie series filled with fantasy scripted from a series of seven novels written by J.K Rowling. It talks about how little Harry Potter survived a deadly attack on his family by the darkest wizard in the “world” and how he is supposed to destroy the killer of his parents. (Columbus, 2001-2011).

The Secret (Video Summary) The film The Secret starts with a rather dramatic introduction that presents the secret as something ancient, that it was kept and guarded closely, and perhaps even stolen at some point. The opening scene continues to say, “The SECRET WAS BURIED…COVETED…SUPPRESSED” and that it “WILL NEVER BE REVEALED TO THE PUBLIC.” It is explained that the greatest people in history knew this secret. Then you are told in many words that basically you can have whatever it is you want.…

Both the book and the diary were absolutely amazing. The diary was a lot more popular than the book because the book has more details about Anne’s life than the movie. The movie also tells about the…
