Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Fairy tales: 4 of 148

Once upon a summertime there sat a lonely girl in the corner of a room with her nose buried almost completely in a book. She had read this book many times, the cover itself was starting to fray.

Entertainment > Movies (Other) Harry Potter: Should parents allow their kids to watch it: 1 of 18

Having my parents decide if I should watch the "Harry Potter" movies was no problem for me. I grew up with the series, and by the time a PG-13 movie came out into theatres, I was the correct age to watch it. For parents whose children did not grow up with the series, deciding whether or not to let them watch the series is a ...

When one is given the decision to choose their favorite “Harry Potter” book, it is not as easy as it sounds.

"Dad, what would you like for your birthday?" Crap...Has that much time passed already? I looked over at my daughter, who had asked the question, and swallowed my food. I had not acknowledged the fact that my birthday was that close and that I would soon be turning another year older. So, to get by this embarrassing fact I s...
Arts & Humanities > British Literature Should JK Rowling allow the characters in the Harry Potter series to become more romantically involved?: 4 of 20

The Harry Potter books are my favorite and, frankly, I believe they are perfect the way they are. There is just the right amount of romance in the story."Just the right amount" meaning that there is enough romance without it being too inappropriate. After all, kids of all ages read the stories. Children's stories don't have ...
Arts & Humanities > Dance Styles Tap dancing: More fun than exercise: 1 of 3

At the age of three I walked into my first dance class. Now I don't remember this day at all, but I'm sure my parents do. At that time I took up two dance styles combined into one hour-long class. They were tap and ballet. After a few years of ballet though, I quit. It wasn't really my favorite style and, in my opinion, it w...

For the Harry Potter series, this is where everything is wrapped up. It is up to JK Rowling to answer all those questions that we fans ask.
