Rupert Grint



RUPERT GRINT

Rupert Grint was born on August 24th, 1988 in Hertfordshire, England. From a very young age, he knew he wanted to be an actor, and took part in after school drama classes.
Already a Harry Potter fan from reading the books, Rupert was watching a British television show for kids that told about auditions for the film. He sent in a letter because he thought he would be perfect for the role of Ron. Not one to let matters drop, Rupert logged onto the Newsround website and saw that another boy had sent in an audition video. With the help of his mother, Rupert made a video as well, and soon after, he received notice that he had an audition. Finaly he got the role of Ron Weasly.
He acted in a lot of movies such as:

-Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
-Driving Lessons (2006)
-Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

Harry Potter


Harry Potter is the best film I have ever seen, a series of fantasy novels written by J.K Rowling, which were taken to the big screen. Besides, success played an important role in this big phenomenon.
The story starts with the unrestrained celebration of a normally-secretive wizarding world which for many years had been terrorised by Lord Voldemort. The previous night, Voldemort had discovered the refuge of the hidden Potter family, and killed Lily and James Potter. However, when he attempted to kill Harry, the Avada Kedavra killing curse rebounded upon him, and Voldemort was destroyed, becoming nothing more than a spirit: neither dead nor alive. Harry, meanwhile, was left with a distinctive lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead, the only physical sign of Voldemort's curse. Harry's mysterious defeat of Voldemort results in him being dubbed "The Boy Who Lived" by the wizarding community.
The following night, a wizard (Hagrid) delivers Harry to what will be his residence for many years afterward. The orphaned Harry is raised by his cruel, non-magical relatives, the Dursleys who, hide his magical heritage and give him severe punishments after several strange occurrences.However, as his eleventh birthday approaches, Harry has his first contact with the magical world when he receives letters from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which are taken from him by his Aunt and Uncle before he has a chance to read them.
On his eleventh birthday he is informed by Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts, that he is in fact a wizard and has been invited to attend Hogwarts. Each movie chronicles one year in Harry's life, which is mostly spent at Hogwarts, where he learns to use magic and brew potions. Harry also learns to overcome many magical, social, and emotional obstacles as he struggles through his adolescence, Voldemort's rise to power and the Ministry of Magic's consistent denials of Voldemort's threat for a whole year.

In my opinion Harry Potter is a delightful story, it gives you the idea of how a magical world could be. It is also a trapping story and worth recommending. This story is not only for young children but adults would like to be part of this magical world as well.
