Dear readers and like-minded persons, I am going on holiday until the 10th of September. Unfortunately, I can’t take Daniel Radcliffe with me, but I can take books about Harry Potter and re-read them. I am going to visit an unknown country Ukraine and to find out how do they treat Harry Potter.

You know I will miss you much and after my trip will share impressions with you!

But, remember, you can view the archives and leave your comments. I will appreciate it!

Thank you for your attention, visits and comments.

Good luck!

For many times Daniel Radcliffe was predicted to became a one-movie-star but as it turned out Daniel is not going to leave his career as a movies star.

Daniel is eager to change school uniform, spells and magic for moustache and WW1 uniform. Now Harry Potter is 18 years-old-boy. The last – 7th book about Harry’s adventures was written and an actor decided to change his line of roles. He is not a small Wizard-boy anymore. He is a mature young man, full of desire to show his braveness and courage, he is an attire of the Irish Guards.

The ads and first pictures of the upcoming film My Boy Jack have appeared on the web. Later it will appear on the TV screen, the following companies have bought rights for it broadcasting: ITV in the UK and U.S., PBS.

Synopsis of the movie: Rudyard Kipling has a 17-year-old son named Jack (he is played by Daniel Radcliffe). Rudyard made a decision to send his son to the Irish Guards, without paying attention to his bad eyesight. Jack strictly followed his destination and finally got lost in the Battle of Loos. His family (mother and father) is in despair – they spent a lot of sleepless nights while looking for their son.

Harry Potter turned to be a very versatile person. He is capable of doing everything, and playing any role. Nothing can destroy his talent. As for me, it is a perfect role to proof that he is not a one-movie-star!

So, finely, it became a reality! I have this book! No, that’s not right This Book! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. I was waiting for it, now it seems to me for years, for centuries and finally, my dream came true! I have got it! It is so big, but not bigger than the fifth one, it is amazing! I can touch it, smell it and even read!

My first desire was to open it at the end and to find out, whether Harry is still alive or not, but… I changed my mind. Harry Potter has been my best friend for years and I decided to behave decent and honestly, exactly the way these books have been teaching me. I will read this book from the very beginning till the end; I will make no post in my blog, until I read the 7^th book till the last page! Because, I want to devote these days to Harry, to my best friend, I think he deserves it. And afterwards, after reading (actually, I don’t know how long it will take me to read, may be one night and may one week or even longer. Who knows?). I will devote this time entirely to me and Harry.

The official release of this book started at 12:01 am on the 21^st of July 2007. 12 million of copies were printed for our country, I don’t know whether it is enough or not for Harry Potter lovers and fans, but I had an opportunity to buy it freely in the morning. It has 785 pages and standard look, as any other book about Harry Potter. The only one difference, it is the last book!

J. K. Rowling strictly follows her traditions; she opened and celebrated the release of the book by midnight reading at the London Museum. May be later, I will look through its photos, but now I want to be with Harry and to read the book!

Books about Harry Potter are popular among young readers! Then not only children began reading it. Harry’s adventures became popular in all over the world, it is one of the bestsellers and the most recognizable and readable book. It made a giant progress in education, it made kids read! Harry is their best friend, they grow up together with him, for example, when the story started Harry was only 11, so are the children and now he is 17 and those children followed him on his way. Harry Potter has cinema versions, sometimes, it seems, that they are even more popular, than books. So, Harry Potter and everything considering him, is viewed as of the most appropriate coffee-table books for young readers. But, in the course of time and especially with the appearing of cinema versions, critics opinions has changed! Harry Potter and movies about him became too violent, too dangerous for children, they promote violence and destruction.

It is difficult to believe but they are not for children at all! Let’s have a closer look at those movies. So, main Harry Potter audience is children, but their mental state and psyche is changeable, they can’t make their own decisions yet, so, they think, that violence and murders, quarrels, evil is something common ans usual! Moaning Myrtle is a very interesing character, it frightens kids to death, nobody wants to use this toilette, because Myrtle is their. May be, every child, knowing about this, will have some troubles while going into public-toilet.

Quidditch! It is one of the stupidest games in the world! First of all, while playing, lerners at the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry ca be hurt and nobody tries explain to children, that playing those games in reality will be dangerous.

They are not fairytales, these books have much in common with real black magic and occultism. There can be made a lot of traces to real historical characters! For example, Lord Voldemort is as prototype of Hitler! He is striving to blood purity, but he is himself a half-blood person. So, he is promoting principles that he himself can’t follow.

Murders are a must! Movies and books are full of murders and crimes. They seem to be integral part of it. In this way Rowling wants to prepare children to reality and to the inevitable end of our lives – death! So, it is up to you to decide whether it is justified or not, to see blood and murders at, when you are only 10-years old!

Bad family relations! When a child is a cockshy in a family and he is constantly suffers from sneer and awful treatment from his own relatives it considered to be a norm, a perfect way of living.

On the 9th of July was announced the best wizard of cinematograph. In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern was made the list of the best wizards. More than 3000 of the English movie-lovers participated in it, and the decision was unexpected, but right! The best Wizard is Gandalf. According to the Pearl&Dean statistic data. As you remember, he was one of the main actors of the trilogy The Lord of the Rings. 44 percent of voting participants gave their votes and preferences for this character.

Authors of this poll surprised greatly, when they found out, that Daniel Radcliffe and his Wizard boy Harry Potter is only on the third place. May be Harry Potter is too young in order to run a competition with wisdom and old Gandalf. It was a comment made by the Kathryn Jacob, a representative of Pearl&Dean.

The two last rows of the first fifth are occupied by Merlin from the old and well-known Disney cartoon The Sword in the Stone (1963) and the Wizard Oz from the Victor Fleming fairytale, released in 1939.

Let’s have a closer look at the list. When you see it with your own eyes, it will definitely look better:

1. Gandalf (44%)

2. Dambldor (17%)

3. Harry Potter (9%)

4. Merlin (6%)

5. Wizard Oz (2%)
