Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the final novel of the Harry Potter -series. It includes seven novels. I have read only one Harry Potter -novel before this one, which is the first novel of the series. J.K Rowling has written all the books in this series. On the other hand i have watched all Harry Potter -movies which are based on the books. This and the final books tells about a boy named Harry who has struggled all his life after he learned he is a famous wizard. In this last book Harry is fighting against Voldemort who has killed Harry’s parents and he is about to kill Harry too. Voldemort is gaining support and increase to his power all the time. For Harry to live he has to beat Voldemort and that is not going to be an easy task. Harry and his two best friends start to hunt these ’horcruxes’ which able Voldemort to split his soul in to peaces and makes him immortal. This trio is able to destroy most of these horcruxes but soon enough harry find out that he is one himself. When Voldemort tried to kill Harry, a part of his soul attached to Harry. So for Harry to beat Voldemort he has to die himself.

At begin when i started to read this book it was kind of hard for me. So much new words and sentences whom i didn’t quite understand. But towards the end it started to go much better. In these books there are a lot of weird glossary for example these horcruxes. For me these kind of things are easy to know because I have watched all movies and I have read one book before. I really enjoyed reading this book because i really enjoy Harry Potter series. Though comparing this book against the movie, the books tells everything much more in detail.

Never Back Down

Never Back Down, also know as The Fighters, is a action movie released  in 2008. This movie was directed by Jeff Wadlow and it was written by Chris Hauty. The main actor in this movie was Sean Faris as Jake Tyler. The movie hasn’t been a big hit around the world since it has mostly met only negative reviews. Still the movie made over 60 million dollars around the world (40 million in theaters ) against a budget of 20 million dollars.

The movie starts with a scene where Jake is having a football match and someone in the opposite team says something rude about his father who died in a drunk driving accident. Jake gets really mad and attacks this guy instantly. After these events Jake has to move to a different city. Attempting to fit in, at the invitation of a flirtatious classmate, Jake goes to a party where he is unwillingly pulled into a fight with the fighting MMA champion at the school, Ryan McCarthy. Originally, Jake does not wish to fight until Ryan taunts him about his father. First Jake doesn’t want to be any kind of a fighter or anything else like that, but after he realizes that his whole family could be in a danger because he being involved in some fighting stuff. Jake starts intense training with his new master Jean Roqua. Jake knows that he has to beat Ryan before he really hurts his family or friends.

I have watched this movie like million times and i still enjoy watching it. At first this movie seemed like it was just guys beating other guys over and over again, but after when i watched this movie for like the second time o realized it was not just fighting, not at all. The movie of course includes a lot of fighting but that how this Jake feels about fighting is incredible. In the movie there is this ’Beatdown’ event where Jake tries to beat Ryan. This Ryan gets disqualified and when Jake hears about this he immediately walks away from the event because all he cares about is to fight Ryan, nothing else. This movie is entirely very well made and the actors are really good and i just really like it.
