sounds like a movie and it is, more than that, it is a movie that could someday really happen, (lets all hope not)

The plot is much like many of the horror genre, where something really bad happens, and guess who is at the bottom of it, yep, some secret lab where some secret experiment got loose.

This movie is interesting, suggestive that there may be a second part, or not, but if our future is anything like these movies suggest, we are in for a lot of trouble.

Did this author make a mistake in writing the last three books or as it is allegedly suggested by some did she actually write the books at all?

With the vastly different writing styles, the first two were very nicely done, yet they seem to have progressively become worse.

Is Harry potter larger than life? Some are asking questions about who really wrote the books…

Is dumbledore really dead, has the writer failed the people who love these characters.

Murdering them one by one because as the latest rumor goes, she did not write the books at all but they were written by a ghost writer, perhaps the ghost whisper could help us out here.

Some have said that the director of the latest movie should be fired…

We agree…  But what do we know…

There are a lot of rumors out there,

You know, writers are always a little off in the head, at least that is what I have heard…

More so if you write something like the harry potter series and you go downhill, Well at least in the movie department, but still these books first became of note as a youth product, then I guess you would have to say a young adult product.

What is it about the author and her alleged propensity to want to kill off the most beloved of characters?

The under dogs if you will, you know the one’s people like the most, also while we are picking at the bones, for a moment, why is it seemingly one sided in the art department, at least with regard to those that would do good. It this something dark in the authors dark soul, (again alleged) it just seems odd that time after time and indeed year after year Harry Potter has learned nothing in the way of defending himself?

One such great author one time made the statement that what makes a good book good is if it is believable, or some such thing, or perhaps he said, what makes a good plot is if it is believable, If you can believe it, it can be good, but if it is not believable like how one sided it appears to be in the harry potter series, If you doubt that last, just count how many from the dark side have died, in the movie and book that is.

How many good characters have died? How the author has threatened to kill off one major character per book till the bitter end of the series. what is up with that, could it be a reflection of an unhappy life, personally I like harry potter and the other characters, but the author seems to just hate them… One has to wonder about freudian aspects of her childhood…

But that is a different story…

In the mean time hate it or love it, harry potter appears to be surviving at least for the moment.

One of the most read books of this past two years, The New York Times called this popular fantasy “deeply moving and hauntingly lovely”. First in a seven-part series, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the tale of three children who wander into the Land of Narnia through an enchanted closet.  this is a timeless tale of good and evil that the entire family can enjoy, if you have seen the movie you really owe it to yourself to read the book the book is so much better as they always are.

See it here.

Insanity or is it something different? Have they lost their minds?

Tis the time of the year where every one goes a little crazy at least some of us do.

Much of Halloween is based on superstition but there were very real issues that caused ordinary people to put others to death convinced that they were a witch.

They even had tests that were completely unfair, like the put a witch in water and if she floats then she is a witch and must be put to death, but if she sinks and then drowns, then she was innocent of the charges of witchcraft.

Now that my friends is fiendish in the extreme.

You see because all they had to do was to just accuse you and then if you passed the test they put you to death for witch craft, if you failed, well you were dead and so were not a threat.

There were some really amazing stories about the salem witch trials, you might be amazed at what they talked about as if it were true.

What the real facts were behind the salem witch trials, mostly women and most of them were in fact, mid wives.

Take a look at this.
