What if Harry Potter becomes a Blogger!!!
As you know I’m a great fan of Harry Potter movies and Books
Harry Potter in Sinhala???
Image via Wikipedia
Today I was reading Wikipedia and I found that they have mentioned that translation of Harry Potter
I’m just curious to know whether anyone know about this book(ISBN 9555732866). Also some trivia says Tamil translations are expected to hit the market around 15 January 2008.
There is no doubt; it’ll bring pleasure and happiness to our local children, if we can get these books in Tamil and Sinhalese. One of the reasons I learned or in other words improved my English is by reading Rowling’s work.
Even if there are some companies to translate this book, they have to have many problems, specially the black market problem. Nobody seems to care about intellectual property in Sri Lanka. Hope soon we can get these books in our languages. 
Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows – Review
Finally I have finished the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
Usually HP stories starts in Private drive, but in this book story starts in Malfoy?s house. The whole story is dark and bloody, anyway with voldermort what else can we expect???
In this book Ron and Hermonie drop the school and join with Harry Potter to hunt the horcruxes down. In the mean while they learn about Deathly Hallows as well (I can?t talk about Deathly Hallows, since it?ll lead me to a spoiler).
Snape is also playing a key role in this story, I wont? talk much because again it?ll lead to a spoiler. However here many myths about Snape, Lily potter was revealed by Rowling.
Not like the book 5, Harry Potter and the Order (Though it?s my fav book till I read the final book) of the phoenix this book is moving on a breathless pace. Finally there is a war between death eaters and rest of the innocent wizard community.
Order, DD Army, some well wishers join together and fight against the dark lord and his armies in Hogwarts school. Anyway you can easily predict the end of the story, Hats off to Rowling for this fantastic book.
All in all it?s a wonderful book!
Let?s talk about the movie OOP movie. It?s indeed a total disaster. Movie is nothing compare to the book. Many scenes that I have expected are either cut-off or narrowed down. So sad so sad.
May be it?s a problem when converting books into movies, but Lord of the rings is a good example how to convert a book into a movie.
Though you?ll watch this movie for sure, it?s not worth watching this movie.
Harry Potter 7 & Torrents
Finally most expected book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
For god’s sake torrent is illegal, but I got no choice.. After some time the price of the book will come down so I can get that book. Till that time I have to read the downloaded book.
I got the book and I was reading it, usually story starts in private drive but this time story starting with a secret meeting of vodermort. In second chapter only Rowling moving to private drive..
So for the time being I’m damn busy with my book and I won’t be able to write any posts in either Tamil or English. Hope it’ll have a happy end..
