Movie Review - Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 1

    Title: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 1

    Year Of Release: 2011

    Review Date: June 30, 2011

    Rating: PG-13

    Running time: 146 minutes

    Box Office Gross: $954,501,070

    Site Rating: 0 out of 10 stars

    "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1" is the seventh film in the series. The movie is about a wizard named Harry Potter and his friends, who are pursued by sorcerers.

    Each Harry Potter film seems to get darker, which is ironic, as its main audience is comprised of children. Many of the book readings held at stores, are mostly frequented by children and their parents as well.

    This film was no different and it is the stuff nightmares are made of, which makes one question the sense in providing such ghoulish imagery to kids. The plot revolves around a stolen wand being sought as a means to kill Harry Potter, which is not a wholesome image for its core audience.

    The special effects were slightly above average, but the actual film was dark as well, literally, as in poorly lit and on purpose to create a menacing mood. However, it only created eye strain during certain scenes of this ungodly tale.

Harry Potter Actress In Attempted Honor Killing - Part 2


    Harry Potter

    According to reports, Harry Potter film actress, Afshan Azad, is having second thoughts about continuing with charges against her dad and brother, for assault, in an attempted honor killing that occurred in their Manchester, England home.

    Afshan Azad

    Victims are often torn over the prospect of sending family members to prison, when attempted or honor killings occur in the Muslim religion. Islam places next to no value on women and those that disobey its tenets, are thought to bring shame on the family, in acts worthy of death, to allegedly restore the clan's reputation and honor.

    Western authorities simply do not know how to deal with such issues, as they provoke an incendiary response from Muslims. However, when one moves to a new country, one must learn to integrate and observe the laws of the land.

Harry Potter Actress In Attempted Honor Killing

    Harry Potter

    "Harry Potter" actress, Afshan Azad, was assaulted and almost killed by her Muslim dad and brother, during an attempted honor killing, where she was the victim. The incident occurred in their Manchester, England home, after they discovered she was dating a Hindu man.

    It is very ironic that appearing in a film with witchcraft, which Islam forbids, is apparently okay in her family, but dating a Hindu man is not. Warner Bros is not happy with the negative press surrounding this story, as the latest installment in the "Harry Potter" film franchise is due shortly.

    Honor killings among Muslims in Britain have been on the rise, presenting a very difficult challenge for authorities, as most who know of the plots within families, refuse to speak about forthcoming crimes. Sometimes, victims are not believed as well, creating a horrible home environment.

Hollywood And Horror

    The devilish film "Drag Me To Hell"

    Hollywood has created a resurgence in horror films that are being released in rapid succession into the marketplace. Some of the most sick, disturbing, grotesques, ungodly scenes ever filmed, are making their way to movie theater screens all over the nation and to the detriment of audiences.

    The satanic "Saw"

    The impact becomes evident, when copycat crimes occur in the real world that mirror scene in films. Hollywood, taking its standard line of denial, will state they are not responsible, when they are, as they put the idea into someone's head.

    The bloody and violent movie "The Crazies"

    The worst part about these horror films is they are mostly viewed by teens. There are recorded cases of teens being rendered mentally ill, after watching certain horror films, having to be institutionalized, due to the impact the graphic imagery had on them.

    The horrid, hellish "Hellraiser"

    Even seemingly innocuous teen type films such as "Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince" and "New Moon" have very dark, violent themes as well, even though they are not classified as horror pics. Hollywood is making a concerted effort to corrupt you and your kids through entertainment.

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince

    Title: Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince

    Year Of Release: 2009

    Review Date: June 30, 2010

    Rating: PG-13

    Running time: 153 minutes

    Box Office Gross: $933,959,197

    Site Rating: 2 out of 10 stars

    "Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince" is the six movie in the film series that sprang from the dark mind of J.K. Rowling, whose works a judge once labeled "Gibberish." Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe, finds a book of magic spells belonging to the "Half Blood Prince" and begins to use it, breeding trouble.

    For a film generally marketed to small kids and teens, it certainly was violent, bloody and dark. Scenes of ungodly witchcraft permeate this film, as that is the entire concept of Harry Potter. It is easy to dismiss it as just a film, but so many of the scenes interspersed among the school banter, is not healthy for its audience's psyche. The devil is in the details.

Harry Potter Author Sued For Copyright Theft

    Oh dear! Author J.K. Rowling has been sued for infringement in violation the PREEXISTING copyrights of the estate of Adrian Jacobs.

    Author Adrian Jacobs wrote, copyrighted and published the book "The Adventures of Willy the Wizard -- No 1 Livid Land" in 1987.

    Rowling's book "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was released 10 YEARS LATER and has significant similarities to it. To make matters worse, Adrian Jacobs and J.K. Rowling are connected through literary agent, Christopher Jacobs, with the Plaintiff (Jacobs) having sought his services prior to the Defendant (Rowling).

    In closing, I agree with the New York judge in a separate J.K. Rowling infringement case last year - this magic stuff is gibberish.

    Harry Potter publisher denies plagiarism claim

    Mon Jun 15, 2009 4:30pm EDT - LONDON (Reuters) - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc on Monday denied allegations that author J.K. Rowling copied "substantial parts" of a book by another children's author when she wrote "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."

    The book, published in 2000, was the fourth installment of the hugely successful boy wizard Harry Potter series that has sold more than 400 million copies worldwide and been turned into a multi-billion-dollar film franchise...

    In an earlier statement, Jacobs' estate said that it had issued proceedings at London's High Court against Bloomsbury Publishing Plc for copyright infringement.

    "The Estate is also seeking a court order against J.K. Rowling herself for pre-action disclosure in order to determine whether to join her as a defendant to the ... action," the statement read.

    It named the estate's trustee as Paul Allen, and said that Rowling had copied "substantial parts" of "The Adventures of Willy the Wizard -- No 1 Livid Land" written by Jacobs in 1987.

    It added that the plot of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire copied elements of the plot of Willy the Wizard, including a wizard contest, and that the Potter series borrowed the idea of wizards traveling on trains.

    "Both Willy and Harry are required to work out the exact nature of the main task of the contest which they both achieve in a bathroom assisted by clues from helpers, in order to discover how to rescue human hostages imprisoned by a community of half-human, half-animal fantasy creatures," the estate statement said.

    "It is alleged that all of these are concepts first created by Adrian Jacobs in Willy the Wizard, some 10 years before J.K. Rowling first published any of the Harry Potter novels and 13 years before Goblet of Fire was published."

    According to the statement, Jacobs had sought the services of literary agent Christopher Little who later became Rowling's agent. Jacobs died "penniless" in a London hospice in 1997, it said...
