Harry Potter fandom

well that even though brock and misty haven’t been regular characters in the cartoon for a nearly a decade, they are still iconic; but, over the past 30 years, perhaps no fiction trio is as well-known and beloved as the Harry, Ron, and Hermione trio of the J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series of books and accompanying film adaptions. If you go back and review the trio of triplets listed above, you might notice two very particular things, that each group is made…

Iconic Netflix series Stranger Things depicts the typical American small town of Hawkins, Indiana, where tucked away inside the innocent town lies the Hawkins National Laboratory, an insidious facility where main character Eleven is experimented upon because she was born with powers of telekinesis, among other supernatural abilities. Many argue that because the lab is her home, and her Papa takes care of her there, that she is safe, despite the testing she is forced to endure. When she escapes…

to be better than the movie but that isn’t always the case. The novel Lord of the Flies was written by William Golding and it was published September 17, 1954. Almost 40 years later a second movie was released on March 16, 1990 and was directed by Harry Hook. Both were extremely successful and will continue to be read and watched for many years to come as another timeless novel. Whether the movie mixed up these points on purpose or on accident is besides the point because the focus is the fact…

As many people know, Hallmark has entered the amazing world of book publishing, and the first books they published were four beloved Christmas novelizations of popular Christmas movies that have previously aired on their network. One of these was A Heavenly Christmas, originally written for the screen by Gregg McBride, but adapted by Rhonda Merwarth as an ebook. Because Christmas was such a busy time, only recently did Rhonda have an opportunity to answer a few questions about herself and her…

The movie “Gone with the Wind”, released in 1939, is considered one of the greatest love stories and even one of the best movies of all time. The story adapted from the novel written by Margaret Mitchell won ten academy awards, became the highest earning film and is still technically the greatest grossing film in the cinema history. Hattie McDaniel even became the first african american oscar winner thanks to this classic of the romantic genre. In a way, “Gone with the Wind” seems like one of…

It seems an unfair view to expect a movie about a book to be exactly the same down to every single detail. Communities of fans will always find something wrong with a story, for it has “failed” to match expectation. Books are a place where someone can be dragged into the story and forget about everything else for a short while. Movies do the exact same thing, except it is seen as an easier way than books for a lot of people. Ignoring obvious differences (such as the fact that one is in picture…

While standing on a grassy knoll, high in the hills which surround a majestic kingdom, an ancient looking wizard, with extensively long, bushy eyebrows, and dressed in an overly large flowing robe, flicked his right hand and extended index finger as though he were a maestro conducting a symphony. However, Wizard Lorff did not contain an iota of musical talent in his willowy body. Despite this fact, he was a sort of maestro, because with each nimble flick of his hand and finger, he conducted the…

Between 1990 and 2000, there were 6,364 attempts to remove or restrict materials. (1) Around 60% of these attempts were from parents, 15% were from patrons of libraries, and only 9% were by administration. People wanted these materials removed for reasons such as “sexually explicit material”, “graphic language”, material that was “unsuited to age group”, “occult themes or promoting the occult or Satanism”, “violence”, “a homosexual theme or promoted homosexuality”, “promoting a religious…

I was actually reading a book for once. Even if I don’t usually get enraptured by many books, this one caught my eye, and I was flying through the pages. Here I was, reading a book about people in robes that can use magic sticks to cast spells. I read on in the book, reading more about how certain people teach the students in robes about certain things they can do with their magic stick. The brown haired boy, which was the main character, was talking to an old man who had lots of experience…

after trying to land a big role that he actually got paid that exact sum to play in “Dumb and dumber”. The same fate awaited British author, J.K .Rowling, who is one of the most famous writers of the last decade. Even though she has seen her book (Harry Potter) rejected by many great publishing companies, she never stopped trying. It’s after a small publishing company accepted her work that she ended up having her big break, the rest is…
