This week I read half of a Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern and
half of Harry Potter the Sorcerer’s Stone.
I feel sad that I only got to half of the first novel; it seems like the second
half was really going to be something worthwhile to read. What I did read I
enjoyed. I enjoyed the opening chapter about this mysterious circus that is
only opened at night and that two wizards in training will battle it out. I only got to the point where Celia found out
who her rival would be. I must finish soon.
Harry Potter on the other hand I have
seen multiple times. This is my second time reading it, though I don’t remember
reading it the first time to be completely honest. I’m surprised at how similar
the movie is to the book, though there are minor changes in dialogue that I
wished stayed in I was over happy. Harry potter is a great book for children
due to its morals and characters within the story. Harry is just ordinary child in terms of his
abilities. He isn’t as smart as Hermione or as quick thinking as Ron. He truly
only becomes unstoppable with the help and support of his friends and family.
That is what makes Harry so strong. Within the story they touch upon the dead
and the reality of ghosts or spirits. When Harry was fighting Voldemort in the
graveyard his parents came, or more specifically the ghosts of his parents came
to save him. Once again when harry “died” fighting Voldemort in the last book; Dumbledore
was there to help him back up. It makes you think if there are actually ghost
in real life.
