Harry Potter as a Nerd by Appearance...

   After some readings on the first book on Harry Potter, I see why some tell he is just a Nerd, just because of the appearance the book describes. Here is one opinion on how this kind of statement seems to fade away with the growing personality of this character. If you have read the books, you'll notice that Harry is not quite a quiet person, just that in his first years he might had little opportunity to be with others. In the ambiance he lived with his relatives, the Dursleys, a hidden Harry stays there until the great news of being a wizard. That's when he gets along with the wizarding world, willing to learn everything about it, just to be away from the reality he was facing before.
    In the first book, Harry is described as a skinny boy with round glasses covered with tape, kind of small for his age, with a distinction of having green eyes and black hair difficult to handle. The first chapters tell that Harry was unfortunate to be living in his aunt's house, being treated as if he didn't exist, as if he is just another to maintain, like they didn't agreed with that. But of course they didn't have other option, caring a person who is going to be a wizard in the time being. They just knew it, and by long experience they took care of the situation the way they considered better....
    The thing was those first chapters that showed that boy who is simply put away, as if he didn't fit the world he was in. It wasn't his place, that was for sure. The strange events that revolve over Harry made things worse, and because nobody said why of those events, it was a strange mystery. Seems like Harry didn't care too much about it, but is just simply sad to see some person having that position, and he didn't have something that can help against that situation.
    Anyway, his look can perceive another personality on him, but he was only limited on his house. The day of his 11th birthday was where things completely changed. Now that he was ready to face the wizarding world by himself, those limitations were broken. His thoughts and ideas were another and that's when we see a Harry that likes to take risks even if everything was against it, facing new circumstances as he stays in Hogwarts, and revealing the mysteries of Magic that tries to stand against him. Even so, his personality most of the time overcame his appearance, and by every adventure taken from each year, he obtains more about his past. From being in a place no one cares for him to being in a place everyone knows him, Harry Potter as character turns to be a interesting one, who in his real him resembles what many people desires: a world in which everything can be possible with a swing of a wand, or maybe with a firm objective and decided and risky action, and a bunch of resources.

"From one world to another, I wonder how he handled all this...."
"If you ask, I would tell you he sure has a curious mind..."
"...and amazing friends too, all the circumstances met to continue their adventure."
"And you are still thinking how in the first book Harry was prone to challenging proposals..."
"Yeah, not very common, but it was part of his thinking, trying to do things against the rules..."
"Much of it involves him, and also his way of revealing the mystery (not that he would think of breaking rules...)"
"It is..., it just amazing the secrets hidden told in those books, and all the plot..."
"Don't analyze it as if you wanna find something else from the books. You'll find it easier if you think the conditions were presented at the right moment and solved at that moment. He just needed to survive and he was the best resource to make it possible."
"Ok, heheh, Dumbledore had it all planned for sure."

Harry Potter, and the 1st Year PC Game

     What's up? I'm still on my adventure of generating information by inspirational motion, so if I can get a chance of writing, I'll try to post it right here, trying to be more constant on the importance of the blog and its first objectives. This time, I should be doing a little bit of a talk about how I started on getting into the world of Harry Potter. That may be not interesting enough, but as for me, it's useful to continue writing for practice. Because it's a practice of English and a blog that I can share my ideas.
     When the book became a movie, it was obvious that my family wanted to watch that movie, and also because it has some magic. In fact, I like it because of the magic, it was sort of a fantasy book in a hidden world inside a real world. But then I would obtain after the movie the books that were available. But when the time it was getting famous, there was a game on the PC that my parents bought to me. We were on a K-Mart store, I should guess, when I saw the CD of Harry Potter. I don't know if the case was a simple CD case or if that was inside one bigger.... Well the fact is that after we returned, we installed the game on the computer(it was Windows ME if I remember well...) and then started the game.
     OK, it was simple, but entertaining, because there were parts you can go inside the castle of Hogwarts, and then there was those collectible cards from famous people of the Wizarding World. The thing of the story of the game is that on start you get on your classes, and then you learn magic spells, and after that you need to explore the castle to test the spells. And also you gain points from well done tasks. After some classes you start to get the interesting parts. After then you visit Hagrid and you need to go through a weird jungle to get to his home. And then do another tasks, and other things. I really don't want to tell everything, not the point, but for some reason the things turned difficult to obtain after that....
     The real point, after the discovery of the Networking Collective Information, I came across with the game I bought last time, so I installed it again (this time it was Windows XP), but then there were things that I haven't done yet. But just then I came to the idea to find out how to clear the game. That's the time when I found there are some codes you can input to do awesome things. Because you were curious to know what, you tried some of them. One useful code made Harry jump higher and reach more places. Then there was another in which you can have the life bar recovered (by the way I think if you eat chocolate on the game, you can refill your life bar), and another I think you can make Harry to knockout himself, I don't know why..., and others that fill up beans, stars and house points.
     The most interesting one was the debug mode (oh my a debug mode!), heheheh, at that time I didn't know what debug stands for, but when I saw it I understood what things can do. You can do ANYTHING (or mostly anything), you can travel chapters, you can travel between different scenes and different places at one time. I think you can change the camera angle.... The screen has full of state of each action of the game, giving a look of what would happen one thing at a time. I like when traveling, the camera just travels in a certain way. You are for example on the main entrance of the castle, and then you go to some other place, let's say near Gryffindor common room, you appear there, but the camera stays from the last point, so the camera justs go trough the walls in order to reach Harry. Also when you can pass trough walls yourself and see the black space and what it seems to be the other places inside the castle.
     What I can conclude with that is when you go to inside the castle, one wall of it disappears in order to the camera to point well at Harry, imagine if it wasn't done, there could be a point in witch you can't see anything because of that wall. It was a common technique when working on 3D games. In fact, I may learn a lot from the game if I do more research on the debug mode, there are things that I haven't tried that may be very useful on working on plot and character movements and scenes and everything else. Even if the game can be 2D, there are things in the software that can be debugged. I think in most of the games there are has its debug mode, in witch maybe an unused thing is there somewhere.
     So, that may be my first experience on viewing a game from another perspective, even if I was followed by the instructions on how to input each code.

Harry Potter and my Fascination of the Books

[Maybe I tell some things mentioned in past movies, like a SPOILER…!]

[- That’s scary…]

[-But those are minus ones, so Harry Potter fans, don't be afraid to read it *hehehe...*]

[-He's trying to forget his scary-like face...]

                Seems to be the perfect time to talk about how I like the books of Harry Potter, and also how all this world-wide phenomenon occurred since his start. Within the books contains a well detailed world of fantasy in which everything appear to be based on real arguments with the touch of its author, J. K. Rowling.

                I guess I have started to read the books when I saw the first movie of Harry Potter (Philosopher's Stone). It was a curious thing that I started to read the third book first. I don’t know what I was thinking when I thought Harry under a camping bag practicing magic (forget my childhood's lack of interpretation of all details…).

               But then I got the other first books from a Christmas gift. Then I started to read. With all these books, I tried to imagine the world of wizardry in London, and also the Hogwarts Castle, with all their rooms, staircases, secret places and their outside terrains.  When I read all the first three books, I guess I was waiting to the third movie to appear.

                So every time a new book appeared, in a few weeks I looked at them and buy it to read new things about the plot of that boy who survived the curse of death of the “Dark Lord”, and his development in magic in the School of Hogwarts.  All the books tells something new and adds a new thing not explained in previous books (only a mysterious part of it is mentioned) opening new questions of the things occurred at that moment when his parents died.

                It’s wonderful all the things the author explains, every detail seems to have a reason to be there. You won’t expect something to happen, like the death of your closest relatives and important characters, and also the overcoming of the moment the life of Harry is going to be taken away. Also in the last one, in which it seems that searching those parts of Vordemort’s soul was hopeless. All the explanation and adventures Harry and his friends had details their frustration of not getting into the main point.

                But I liked how things were developing in each character. In Harry, all his learning was reflected in his way he fight all those Death Eaters, for example. In Voldemort, his search of reviving again and join an army of destruction, along with his entire back story, makes this character a fascinating one. In the final book, most of the things were explained. I hope it gets that in the final movie.

                Recently I just saw the first part of the seventh movie, and again my motivation of this series increased notoriously. Maybe because all those awesome things that movie had were in the right place (of course with their vision of the things, awesome that I have recreated well all those scenes before…).

Now I’m really excited to see the conclusion and the epic moments of that part of the book that made me read it again and think “So that’s the reason of all the mystery”.

“There you have it, another of my great fascinations.”

“Now, let’s go to see the final movie! *yeah*”

“Yeah, when I get some time…”

“Are you really gonna miss it…?”

“Of course not, but it’s not that I will see it in the first day of the function…”

“Oh, OK…. ”

“I still have my books anyway…”
