What Will Happen With Harry Potter?

So this past weekend the newest installment of Harry Potter was released. Part one of two of the Deathly Hallows is the second to last movie of the Harry Potter series, and more than just a few people will be upset come next year when there will be no more Harry Potter, Hermione Granger or Ron Weasley.

For my blog topic discussion of the week I wanted to see what everyone else thought would happen once there are no more Harry Potter movies. For the most part, our generation has grown up with not only these movies, but also the books. Once they are over will there be anymore movies that virtually everyone enjoys watching?

Above are just a few of the articles and websites pertaining to Harry Potter characters, Harry Potter merchandise and the new Harry Potter theme park. What started off as just a few books has been made in to so many things. Of course people will still go to the Harry Potter theme park after the movies have all been made, but how will they add onto it like Disney World does if no movies are being made, how will they keep it renovated? Besides Disney movies does anyone think this has happened to any other movies?

I was also wondering what everyone thought would happen in say the next 50 or 100 years. After Harry Potter goes away for awhile do you think that because it was such a big hit it would be remade or added onto with different actors? I’m not saying it should or shouldn’t be but do you think it would be possible? Any other thoughts on what has happened with Harry Potter or what you think will happen?

Blog of the week- week 1

This book really changed what I thought about the Vietnam War. Going into reading this book I had almost no knowledge of Vietnam except for what I had learned in history class. So after getting past the very graphic way of how he describes things I realized that even though this book was fiction it seems so real. This really made me try and better understand this war better. I’ve seen very few movies on Vietnam and read no books till now about it but I think The Things They Carried is such a good way to “see” the war though the eyes of a soldier. The Things They Carried takes away some common themes from movies, like Two Days in October like all the emotion soldiers felt and what they went through, but beyond that I really felt like TTTC was very individual on how to portray the Vietnam War.
