Howl’s Moving Music
Howl’s Moving Castle.
One of the greatest books I have ever read. It was written by British author Diana Wynne Jones, who died earlier this year from cancer. When I found out, I was devastated – I actually think a little piece of my soul died that day. She was one of those authors who could write a novel on two levels – adults would fall in love with her storytelling (she had a very distinct and whisical writer’s voice) and children would fall in love with the sense of adventure. She created worlds that were rich a magical, her ideas were beyond imagination, and her characters were ones you could fall in love with.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Review
“It all ends.”
That single sentence packs a significant and heavy punch when the realization that there will be no more Harry Potter films, a series that has been around for 10 years, sets in. To say it is finished is difficult, because, for a time, it seemed like we would always have another Harry Potter movie to look forward to (regardless if they were good or not). An icon of our generation, a multi-billion dollar franchise, everyone knows who Harry Potter is; but we knew it couldn’t last.
As the saying goes, all things must come to an end.
And what an end it was.
