Written by the same author of the Alex Rider series, Oblivion is the final book of The Gatekeepers series. The gatekeepers are five teenagers, Matt, Pedro, Jamie, Scott, and Scarlett, who learn that they have powers that they must use to defeat the Old Ones, beings that want to destroy the world. Every installment of the series tells the individual…
Dear J.K.Rowling, I’ve finally read your entire award winning series, Harry Potter and I’m left with a few questions, particularly about the 4th book “The Goblet Of Fire.” It would be great if you answered as these questions will help give me a deeper understanding of the book. Firstly I’d like to ask why you chose to make Cedric die? As I and a lot of other people loved him as a character and I’m sure many people would agree with me. I know you wanted to show that Voldemort was back, at…
FANDOM Over the years since television came to the world shows came out after months and years, but over that years some shows got more attention than some others and that started the fandom on mainly shows that ”intrigued them” and that had started the fandom. Now I wonder how were they created and why they were, not just because they just like the show or movie. How were fandoms created and why do people hate them. From what I learned at first, Fandom is a word used to refer to a group…
can be seen in many of today’s popular shows, books, and movies. The Anglo-Saxon culture was one of the very first to use these traits in stories and many of those traits can be seen in popular stories today. One of the more popular stories is the Harry Potter series, a couple of Harry’s traits are loyalty and courage.

Hello from England, Professor! My name is Jaylinne Kêr Medina. I'm a daughter of Nyx and a vessel for Artemis, so naturally, I'm in Ravenclaw! Right off the bat, I think I should tell you that I have ADD, mild/moderate dyslexia (hence a few grammatical and spelling errors), and social anxiety, which is half the reason I go to Hogwarts online. I tried actually going for a few weeks but I ended up destroying a book from the Restricted Section by doodling in the margins and nearly had a panic…
The face of Nicholas Easter was slightly hidden by a display rack filled with slim cordless phones, and he was looking not directly at the hidden camera but somewhere off to the left, perhaps at a customer, or perhaps at a counter where a group of kids hovered over the latest electronic games from Asia. Though taken from a distance of forty yards by a man dodging rather heavy mall foot traffic, the photo was clear and revealed a nice face, clean-shaven with strong features and boyish good looks.…
Harlow’s study on the nature of love used an infant’s closeness, touching, and attachment to a mother (wire or cloth) or contact comfort, as the operational definition of love.

Also, the wire mother provided a strong discomfort because of the material but it also did not actively decline nursing or comfort to the monkeys. Additionally, the definition of…

J.K Rowling emphasises three key points in her speech which are to pursue your dreams and interests even if they don’t lead to…
