Harry Potter is a fictional character invented by J.K Rowling in the series of seven books starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone and ending with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Wikipedia, 2015). Harry is the main character in this series whose parents died when he was young and he was brought up by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.5). Harry was neglected by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.27). Harry is presented a whole new reality when he goes to the zoo one day and his integration into the magical world changes him from the foundation. These changes within him will be analysed using the developmental psychology theories of Lawrence Kohlberg and Erik Erikson to explain how the environment aided or obstructed Harry’s development.

When it comes to the world's scariest monsters in films and literature what names pop into your top 10 list, is it Frankenstein, is it Freddy Kruger or is it even Mike Wazowski from the movie Monsters Inc? I know at the top of my list it’s Michael Myers from the movie Halloween. To me Michael Myers is the biggest monster ever created in films because he is ruthless, and he's close to impossible to kill.

In the trick he made a massive 2,000 pound animal disappear into thin air.In my opinion it was one of the coolest tricks he ever did.

Harry potter and the prisoner of Azkaban is an excellent book. Out of ten stars I would rate this one an eight because it was to short. Once you get into it and finish it. It seems so short, because it is so interesting. Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban starts out with a bang. In the beginning Sirius black a Man accused of thirteen murders in one night escapes from Azkaban.( A wizard prison guarded to the tee by dementors, deadly spirits that feast on anything happy. Basically they suck the life out of you slowly until you go mad and lose sanity). Harry runs away on the same night and crosses the man without realizing it. Since Sirius is an ananamugus he is able to turn into a giant black

Harry Houdini was a great magician who amazed audience and influenced magic forever with his complicated illusions and daring stunts. He made many tricks of his own and surprised audiences with his escapes.

David Aaronovitch debunks common conspiracy theories and explores the reasons people are fascinated with these absurd beliefs in Voodoo Histories. After stating a recorded event and a corresponding speculated belief, the author moves toward depicting logical flaws in the belief of the speculated event. He often points out the principle of Occam’s razor that suggest the most simple, rather than complex, hypothesis is the truth. If a theory seems far-fetched in that the plot is quite convoluted and elaborate and assumes there is little to no error done by the executioners, then the theory is unlikely and false.

Imagine being suspended upside-down in a water filled, glass fronted tank with hundreds of spectators watching your every move. One wrong twist could cause your body to cramp up and leave it virtually paralyzed. Blood racing to your head like the speed of a B-17 Flying Fortress. Some men would cringe at the sound of this experience, not Harry Houdini. Houdini lived for those life threatening moments of impossible escape. Magicians from around the world have aspired to live up the the greatness of Harry Houdini and his unbelievable escapes; it's safe to say that none have succeeded.

Imagine a world with no one to help, everyone is only looking to better themselves. After a big hurricane of the coast of New Orleans in 2005, the town was a disaster. With nobody to come to the rescue it was everyone for themselves. This hurricane was hurricane Katrina and it was a category three hurricane. It devastated the state of Louisiana and was a vicious storm. Over 80% of the large roads and major areas were flooded by this storm. This lasted for weeks and the outcome was not only horrible to think about but horrible to witness.

From prisons to the public, everyone was itching to see what Houdini would do next in his career. Every act was more daring than the last. Six boiler workers challenged him to escape a “galvanized-iron hot-water tank,” which he “emerged fifty-five minutes later...his suit torn and dirty, his face bloody and his hands bruised” (Kasson 119). Not only did these challenges against water tanks, tires, and handcuffs prove his abilities as the fittest escape artist, it also proved him superior to modernity. These symbols of modern technology represented how modern man was feeling trapped by the industrialization. Houdini, against all powers of the latest technology, still came out on top.

Carmela left the office at 4:00 p.m., exhausted. Why had she agreed to go riding at the end of a long, trial-filled week, especially knowing that a meeting with Travis would add to her tensions instead of helping her recover? Then there was Harry’s warning that people were talking about the close connection between the defense attorney and the police department. How serious was the gossip? Perhaps he was right that a meeting out on the ranch was ill advised.

and dangerous tricks. He swallowed needles, and then got them out of his mouth and they were all threaded perfectly like they were before. Another thing that he did to stay famous is do even more threatening and fatal illusions. He did that because he didn’t like people imitating him and so he stepped up his game. In the book, it says that one day when “it was around 30 degrees below zero, Harry Houdini was strapped in a straitjacket upside down.” He was brave enough to do that in the cold freezing weather.

Harry is taking me to my house so I can get dressed and we can go out for the day. I'm kind of anxious to see what Harry has in store for today.

In Marlowe’s play, The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, Christianity is painted in a negative light. This reflects the disillusionment with religion that Marlowe and other Renaissance men had as a consequence of the conflict between Catholicism and Protestantism that occurred during the Protestant Reformation.
