Very Dry Before Period

@ i magici doni di Jo

FANS DI FEDERICO MOCCIA DI TUTTA ITALIA, UNITEVI…e cambiate articolo. Qui non troverete storielle di adolescenti persi d’amore (ah!), che studiano poco, pensano anche meno e passano il tempo a parlare del gadget cha va più di moda. No. “Harry Potter” è tutta un’altra storia….e What a story! Not easy to tell, especially for a fierce fan (see: me), but they may groped.
Last of the saga, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" concludes (safe?) The travel and the battles of our beloved hero. Even the most demanding (see: me) have not been disappointed: the secrets were revealed, doubts have been cleared, new roads have been undertaken. Forget the media: the Italians are stupid, bigoted and ignorant ... just read some reviews to see evidence of a clear cultural and religious heritage that leaves little room for a certain type of work. All they can to draw up the significant concerns in the bank account of the author (which can never be thank you enough for what he has created) and young actors. Typical of our most learned (and invidiosissimi) of gossip ... oops, journalists! But 'nuff said.
The book, needless to say, is a true masterpiece. Like previous chapters, this also requires critical thinking, imagination and ability to see beyond the mere word. When it comes to Harry Potter if they can not tell the story: every episode is so important, intense, full of details and nuances do not forget, you can not help but read books. Anyone who has just seen the film (as well made, and not even all) may have a vague image of what it is. Nothing more. Harry Potter must be lived, touched, page after page. There lies its spirit, its magic: it makes you laugh, cry, laugh, curse, to dream. His world is much closer to ours than you might think (who remind you of the Death Eaters? Just to name a prime example). In fact, it is our and only they have the Magic (which we lack so unforgivable). JK Rowling deserves to be studied in school along with Swift, Kipling, Hemingway, Tolkien (another to be included in the list). The reasons are many and diverse, some more some less serious (well, depending on your point of view): we live in a time of profound changes and difficult decisions ... would be nice to teach young people (and adults) than it loyalty, humility, love, courage to face their fears, that we are each different, but not enemies, that there are no perfect men, that not everything is as it seems, that the wisdom and knowledge are daughters of mistakes and pain that even if you are a bit 'losers can make great things that sometimes you have to choose "what is right, not what is easy" and that all our actions, good or bad, we plunged back on him sooner or later, one way or another. And then, the world of Harry Potter has all that many (see: me) want: a magic school, the Principal "cool" (there is no other definition); tables fighting with one another; chocolate frogs that come to life subjects of photos and pictures that move (and may even make some rude gesture, if it bothers them) ... So, why read it and love are so many that any word is a waste of time. So ...
A note: Unfortunately, the Italian translation is nowhere near the height of the original, nor of previous translations. In two words, poor and flat. Not to mention, then, of a printing error which resulted in the elimination of a period (relative to a scene in the Great Hall): inadmissible.
No plot this time. If you want to enter the magical world

READ THE BOOK, Muggles!

NOTE: Just a preview: the dialogue between Dumbledore and Harry (as happened in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix") represents some of the most beautiful ever written.
