Writing:

Harry Potter and the Scorcerers’s Stone is one of the best fantasy films in recent years. Released in 2001, it stars Daniel Radcliffe as a young magician Harry Potter and a lot o fother actors and actresses.

The plot involves a mighty and mean magician who had been defeated by baby Harry Potter years before he wants to take revenge on Harry and get his powers back, by getting a valuable stone hidden in a wizardry school. Can Harry stop him before it is too late?

The film is mostly set in Scotland, in an old school, which gives it a very nice atmosphere. The soundtrack is impressive. The acting is also of a very high standard and Daniel Radcliffe brings his character to life with a dazzling and memorable performance.

I would recommend Harry Potter and the Scorcerers’s Stone, especially if you are keen on fantasy films. It will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end and I am sure you’ll not regret watching it.

Rabbits are always very uppity during the Christmas season and Peter Rabbit was no exception. After upsetting the third bowl of mincemeat onto the sandy floor, he was sent to his arms to fetch a cup of suet. On the way Peter bumped into his cousin, Benjamin Bunny, he was looking equally gloomy. His mother had sent him to Mrs. Rabbits for a handful of raisins. "Let's stay out of the way for a bit," suggested Peter. "Good idea," said Benjamin. The cousins set about playing rabbit cricket with holly berries and firkins when William sauntered by. William was a turkey. He was a puffed-up person, full of his own importance. Nothing made him happier than his bold, brave fan of tail feathers which rattled upon the cobbles as he strutted about.
