First Impressions"

Lakeland Smart Touch Induction Hob
A smart portable induction hob is difficult to find - especially in Australia. So brought this one back from a recent UK visit. Maybe a gamble reading the comments but OK so far. Unfair to expect it to really sear a steak as think this is to have excessive demands of the technology. It is not a barbeque. Only issue so far is the PDF instructions on the web site is more helpful than the paper copy coming with the device, which is also wrong in the safety instructions. In replacing the plug for an Aussie one, it clearly has no earth wire as claimed in the plug wiring diagram. A serious error.

Lakeland Smart Touch Induction Hob
The flat glass construction of this hob is great - attractive and easy to clean. Unfortunately the first unit we had wouldn't switch on at all. The second one worked well with clearly laid-out controls and plenty of power. Unfortunately, as mentioned in another review, when attempting to sear steaks with a cast-iron griddle, the unit's thermal protection cut-out activates long before cooking temperature is reached-occasionally when using a frying pan too. Infuriatingly our unit has just gone BANG and died. Thank goodness for Lakeland's superb after sales service :o(

Lakeland Smart Touch Induction Hob
Our kitchen renovation stretched from three weeks to three½ months and without this wonderful hob I'd have flipped! We have an induction hob on our range so all my pans, all sizes, 'worked' ...a wonderful slow-cook casserole on keep warm setting as well as the quickly boiled kettle. It's not going in the loft now I have my kitchen back; it's far too useful!

At the second time of trying I have an hob without the rubberised leg missing and the hob is working just fine, although the instruction book is not at all clear, I understand that there are a few errors and missing text from this, and is being re-printed. (I would love a copy of the new instructions when available please) Thanks to the very efficient and helpful customer services I have contacted within the past 2 weeks, the staff whom I have spoken to have gone out of there way to understand and find a solution to any problems I have had. Top Marks to the staff.

not hot enough"
by Linda
Lakeland Smart Touch Induction Hob
I bought this as a supplement to our bottled gas hob which does not heat a pan sufficiently well to sear steaks. Unfortunately this did not do the trick either, whenever the cast iron pan began to reach a suitable temperature the induction ring would cut out. I am sure it would be fine for other cooking functions but no good for us. Back it goes.
Published 10 10 2013
A note from the team: We're sorry to hear you've been disappointed with this product. The hob does have 10 power/temperature settings from 200 to 2000W or 70 to 240°C.Searing steaks should be no problem for this induction hob but please note the power/ temperature can only be selected on the Hot Pot, Pan Fry and Stir Fry by sweeping your finger round the heat control dial. On all other functions the temperature/ power level is pre-set, so you may be able to achieve the heat required with a little tweak .We'll be in touch soon to help.

Lakeland Smart Touch Induction Hob
Having started 'project new kitchen' I need to purchase a portable something to reduce the stress level of the boss. First tried an all in one cooker from Lakeland, first time we tried it it tripped the house electrics, all my fault, and it went straight back to Lakeland, suggest that all avoid this product. Whilst at the store noticed this product, the 'project new kitchen' will have a much bigger version of this product, so decided to give it a go, result, go a smile from the boss, would give it 6 stars if it was possible, very quick, boils water faster than a kettle, brilliant

A must have for Aga/Rayburn owners"
by John
Lakeland Smart Touch Induction Hob
Much a we like our Rayburn cooker the time and cost of heating the top plate up for cooking with a single pan has always been annoying. This induction hob will pay me back inside a year I reckon. It works really well and delivers enough power to stir-fry too. A really well designed and useful product.

Brighton PD release names of shooting victims
Brighton, N.Y. -- Brighton police released the names of the two victims from Sunday's fatal shooting.
Around 4:00 p.m. Sunday, the Brighton Police Department responded to the Elmwood Court Apartments for the report of a disturbance.
When officers arrived, they found Jonathon Pender, 30, dead with multiple gunshot wounds.
Additionally, police found Matthew Fix, 29, still alive with what is preliminary being investigated as a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Fix was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital where he soon died.
According to police, Fix shot Pender and then himself. They called the incident a "domestic situation." The victims apparanelty knew each other and were allegedly involved with the same woman. Her name will not be released.
Police are using social netoworking sites to find out what happened between the two men.
"It is a rare occurrence, something like this. We did hear from a number of neighbors how alarmed they were, you got a number of calls and talked to some neighbors on the scene who described what they heard. To say i'ts a rare occurrence in the town of Brighton would be an understatement," said Brighton Police Chief Mark Henderson.
The investigation is ongoing.

Jon Carroll resigns board seat
Wayland Board of Education member Jon Carroll's letter of resignation was read Monday night by Superintendent Norm Taylor.
His stepping down means his seat must be filled locally within the next 30 days or the Allegan County Intermediate School District will be tasked with filling the vacancy.
Anyone interested in serving may send a letter to the administration building, addressed to Board President Gary Wood. The deadline for applications is Monday, June 4, and the board intends to make a decision at its next meeting June 11.
Whoever is appointed will serve until the end of this year, but can also seek the remaining two years of the term in the November general election. Carroll's term will expire at the end of 2014.
In the letter, dated Friday, May 11, Carroll said, "I've enjoyed my 50 years in education, 48 as a teacher, coach and board member."
Carroll was first elected to the school board in 1997 and he was re-elected in 2001, 2005 and 2009. His term was lengthened by a new state law that insists all school board members be elected in November of even-numbered years.
Carroll also served as a social studies teacher for more than 30 years, beginning with the 1964-65 academic year. He was Wayland's varsity baseball coach for some time, taking the Wildcats all the way to the Class B state semifinals in 1971. He resigned from coaching baseball after the 1973 season.
His service on the school board became somewhat controversial in the last couple of years because he spent his winters in warmer climates as a "snowbird." This past year he had not attended a board meeting since Oct. 10.
Fellow board member Don Borgic commented, "It's been my privilege to know Jon as a teacher, friend and mentor. He has suffered some health problems of late and there was some controversy over the last couple of years (about his attendance). But he's given wonderful service to this school district."
Board member Jeff Salisbury said, "When I first came to this school district in 1985, he was most welcoming."

WATCH: Time-Lapse Video Of The Costa Concordia Being Righted
By Mark Memmott
Originally published on Tue September 17, 2013 9:14 am
Take a minute if you want a break from the heavy news to see the cruise ship Costa Concordia being brought into an upright position.
Reuters is among several news outlets that have posted time-lapse video, condensing the 19-hour Monday-into-Tuesday operation into about 60 seconds.
As we said earlier, the ship ran aground off the coast of Tuscany in January 2012. Thirty-two people died. Two bodies have yet to be recovered.

Insurance CareersMarch 6th, 2014 by admin
Careers in Insurance: There are two principal functions within insurance companies, underwriting and investment. Underwriting entails the measurement of risk and the charging of premiums that are appropriate to the degree of risk that the insurance company assumes by writing a given policy. An actuary holds an important technical job, trained in statistical analysis and the scientific determination of insurance policy terms and premiums.
The investment function is equally important. A well-run insurance company will have, at least in the long run, a surplus of premium income over actual payouts of claims. This surplus needs Direct Auto Insurance to be invested, so insurance companies have substantial staffs dedicated to earning good returns on this money. Insurance companies are thus major employers of money managers and securities research professionals, often with excellent opportunities in entry-level positions.
Insurance companies themselves fall into three major categories. Life insurers promise a payment upon the insured person's death. Property and casualty insurers write policies that protect individuals and businesses against a variety of risks: auto accidents, fire or storm damage, injuries, theft, etc. Health insurers write policies that cover medical expenses. Some insurance companies engage in multiple lines Direct Auto Insurance of business.
The insurance industry also employs large numbers of sales people, work either for the insurance companies themselves or for independent insurance brokers.
For more detail on major career paths within insurance, look at the more in-depth discussions that we have prepared. This is hardly an exhaustive list, but it includes some of the larger and better-paying lines of employment in this industry. Just note that, as in any industry, job titles and responsibilities can vary somewhat from employer to employer. That said, here is our list:

Insurance Claims Adjuster
Insurance Claims Examiner
Insurance Investigator

Geoffrey Rush - Happy Birthday, Geoffrey Rush!
Picture: Geoffrey Rush The Australian premiere of 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' at Event Cinemas - Arrivals Sydney, Australia - 17.05.11
Australian actor Geoffrey Rush is set for a special day on Wednesday (06Jul11) - he turns 60.
An accomplished stage and screen star, Rush boasts more than 40 films to his name, as well as a string of top awards and honours.
He's one of only a handful of stars to have won the 'Triple Crown of Acting' - an Academy Award, a Tony Award and an Emmy Award - and thanks to his triumphant role in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and part in The King's Speech, he now has his pick of movies.
To celebrate his milestone, WENN has found 10 fascinating facts about Rush. Happy birthday, Geoffrey!
- Born in 1951, Rush's parents divorced when he was five - and his mother took him to live with her parents in suburban Brisbane.
- As a teenager, Rush studied mime, movement and theatre at the famous L'Ecole Internationale de Theatre Jacques Lecoq in Paris, France for two years.
- The star played English comic actor Peter Sellers in 2004 Tv film The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, for which he landed a Best Actor Emmy Award.
- To mark the annual Australia Day in 2009, Rush - along with fellow Aussies Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman - was honoured with a special postage stamp.
- In order to play a troubled pianist in 1996's Shine, Rush resumed piano lessons - he initially quit classes when he was 14. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role, becoming the first Australian-born screen star to scoop an Oscar.
- Rush once shared a home with Mel Gibson.
- He was honoured with a Theatre World Award for his 2009 Broadway debut in Exit The King, as well as a Tony Award.
- The actor can also add compere to his resume - he fronted the 2006 Australian Film Institute Awards and was the Master of Ceremonies again the following year (07).
- For his honeymoon, Geoffrey and his wife Jane embarked on a six month stage tour of The Importance of Being Earnest. They've been married for 23 years and share two teenage children.
- Rush almost turned down his role in The King's Speech because he thought the film would be a major failure. It went on to make more than $414 million (£258 million) and land the star a Best Actor in a Supporting Role BAFTA award.

Cramer: A Turn Could Be Around the Corner
NEW YORK (Real Money) -- The rolling correction continues. We have seen some really powerful downward moves in some of the major industrials of late. They remind me of something that Byron Wien -- senior adviser at Blackstone, and by far my favorite market commentator -- said at the beginning of the year. He remarked that the S&P 500 would initially drop 10% in a worst-of-times situation, and then in a best-of-times situation it could rally 20%, heading perhaps to 2300 at the end of the year.
I point this out because Wien put out his monthly note Tuesday night, and it is very positive on the market -- but, in it, he does not directly address that he thought stocks would have that initial decline.
Yet, as I look over so many of the big industrials and many of the technology stocks, I see the market did have a pretty large correction already. Stocks such as General Electric (GE) and Boeing (BA) and United Technologies (UTX) are down huge from their highs. The cloud-computing stocks, despite their nascent rallies, are down much more than 10%.
Read More: How Twitter's Blowout Quarter Changed My MindMany of the drug stocks have been rocked. In fact, the advance has become narrower and narrower. So, in this void, perhaps it is worth interpreting Wien thus: We have seen a huge correction within the market, and you now need to look for signs that it is ending. On Tuesday I talked about the weakness in so many cycles: aerospace, farm, housing, transports, trucking, insurance. I could add retail and restaurants, excepting special situations, too. The question I have is: Have the stocks in those cycles already adjusted to the weakness? Let's take agriculture: last night I had Agco (AGCO) on "Mad Money." That's the third-largest agricultural-equipment maker. We all know that prices are down huge for grains. But Agco shares are down 16%. Isn't it right to ask whether the stock has factored that in? Or take Boeing. This stock has had a relentless decline: It has lost 10% for the year and now has a price-to-earnings ratio of 15. Isn't that enough of a pasting?

Ezzard Mack Charles (July 7, 1921–May 28, 1975) was an American professional boxer and former World Heavyweight Champion.
He defeated numerous Hall of Fame fighters in three different weight classes. Charles retired with a record of 93 wins, 25 losses and 1 draw.
He was born in Lawrenceville, Georgia, but is commonly thought of as a Cincinnatian.[1] Charles graduated from Woodward High School in Cincinnati where he was already becoming a well-known fighter.[2] Known as "The Cincinnati Cobra", Charles fought many notable opponents in the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions, eventually winning a championship in the latter. Although he never won the Light Heavyweight title, The Ring has rated him as the greatest light heavyweight of all time.[3]
Charles started his career as a featherweight in the amateurs, where he had a record of 42-0. In 1938, he won the Diamond Belt Middleweight Championship. He followed this up in 1939 by winning the Chicago Golden Gloves tournament of champions. He won the national AAU Middleweight Championship in 1939. He turned pro in 1940, knocking out Melody Johnson in the 4th round. Charles won all of his first 15 fights before being defeated by veteran Ken Overlin. Victories over future Hall of Famers Teddy Yarosz and the much avoided Charley Burley had started to solidify Charles as a top contender in the middleweight division. However, he served in the U.S. military during World War II and was unable to fight professionally in 1945.
He returned to boxing after the war as a light heavyweight, picking up many notable wins over leading light heavyweight, as well as heavyweight contenders Archie Moore, Jimmy Bivins, Lloyd Marshall and Elmer Ray. Shortly after his knock-out of Moore in their third and final meeting, tragedy struck. Charles fought a young contender named Sam Baroudi, knocking him out in Round 10. Baroudi died of the injuries he sustained in this bout. Charles was so devastated he almost gave up fighting. Charles was unable to secure a title shot at light heavyweight and moved up to heavyweight. After knocking out Joe Baksi and Johnny Haynes, Charles won the vacant National Boxing Association World Heavyweight title when he outpointed Jersey Joe Walcott over 15 rounds on June 22, 1949. The following year, he outpointed his idol and former World Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis to become the recognized Lineal Champion. Successful defenses against Walcott, Lee Oma and Joey Maxim would follow.
In 1951, Charles fought Walcott a third time and lost the title by knockout in the seventh round. Charles lost a controversial decision in the fourth and final bout. If Charles had won this fight, he would have become the first man in history to regain the heavyweight championship. Remaining a top contender with wins over Rex Layne, Tommy Harrison and Coley Wallace, Charles knocked out Bob Satterfield in an eliminator bout for the right to challenge Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano. His two stirring battles with Marciano are regarded as ring classics. In the first bout, held in June 1954, he valiantly took Rocky the distance, going down on points in a vintage heavyweight bout. Charles is the only man ever to last the full 15-round distance against Marciano.[4] In their September rematch, a severely cut Marciano rallied to KO Charles in the 8th round, in a bout that was named The Ring magazine's "Fight of the Year." Financial problems forced Charles to continue fighting, losing 13 of his final 23 fights (He held a record of 83 wins, 12 losses and 1 draws before financial problems became a factor in his career). He retired with a record of 93-25-1 (52 KOs).
Charles was also a respected double bass player who played with some of the jazz greats in the 1940s and 1950s at such notable places as Birdland (jazz composer George Russell wrote the famous tune "Ezz-Thetic" in his honor). He was very close with Rocky Marciano and a neighbor and friend of Muhammad Ali when they both lived on 85th Street in Chicago.[5] Charles also starred in one motion picture: Mau Mau Drums, an independent (and unreleased) jungle-adventure film shot in and around Cincinnati in 1960 by filmmaker Earl Schwieterman.
Ezzard Charles died May 28, 1975, in Chicago from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease), aged 53, and was interred in the historic Burr Oak Cemetery, in Alsip, Illinois. In 1976, Cincinnati honored Charles by changing the name of Lincoln Park Drive to Ezzard Charles Drive. This was the street of his residence during the height of his career.[6]
He was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990.
In 2002, Charles was ranked #13 on The Ring magazine's list of the 80 Best Fighters of the Last 80 Years.
In 2006, Ezzard Charles was named the 11th greatest fighter of all time by the IBRO (International Boxing Research Organisation).[7]
The "Cincinnati Cobra" was a master boxer of extraordinary skill and ability. He had speed, agility, fast hands and excellent footwork. Charles possessed a masterful jab and was a superb combination puncher. He was at his peak as a light-heavyweight. His record is quite impressive. Against top rate opposition like Archie Moore, Charley Burley, Lloyd Marshall, Jimmy Bivins, and Joey Maxim he was an impressive 16-2 combined. Despite being a natural light-heavy he won the heavyweight title and made 9 successful title defenses. Nearly 25% of voters had Charles in the top 10. Half of the voters had him in the top 15. Two thirds of voters had him inside the top 20.
In 2007, ESPN online ranks Ezzard Charles as the 27th greatest boxer of all time, ahead of such notable fighters as Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes and Jake LaMotta.[8]
In 2009, Boxing magazine listed Ezzard Charles as the greatest Light Heavyweight fighter ever, beating the likes of Archie Moore, Bob Foster and Gene Tunney.[9]
Prominent boxing historian Bert Sugar listed Charles as the 7th greatest Heavyweight of all time.

Fun things to do at night in Boracay

Hey guys,
Me and my friends are flying to Boracay in July and was wondering what we could do during the night. We've got tons of plans during the day like Parasailing, Helmet Diving, Kite Surfing, Visit Puka Beach and Ariels Point but we still don't have any plans for the night. Any of you guys have any suggestions? We'll be staying in Boracay for a week.
Your suggestions would be really appreciated.

Boracay is a small island. Your options for "fun things to do at night" is limited to what is available on the island. So that would be whatever bar or club strikes your fancy. There is no place nearby with more options.

This might be probably too late but if ever you are in Boracay, and if you are looking for a good activity at night, why don't you try Boracay PubCrawl. They do bar-hoping event. You will meet interesting people as well.

Genealogy in Limburg
Many people in Limburg used fixed family names long before the introduction of the civil registration which makes research easier. Most Limburg records are kept by the Limburg regional historical center. Many marriage records from Limburg can be found in WieWasWie.
Emigration from Limburg
In the middle of the nineteenth century, Limburg was a poor region. People moved to urban areas or left the country to work in nearby Belgium or Germany or even to emigrate to the United States. Because of the American Homestead act of 1862, the peak of the Limburg emigration was in 1863. The people of Limburg were predominantly catholic and settled mainly in catholic regions of Minnesota. For more information about emigration from Limburg, see the Limburg Emigrant Page.

Delivery is really expensive (more than the cost of the individual items!) and the stores do not stock the school branded items. The jumpers are really poor quality with the branding coming off and the whole jumper shrinking in the wash. (I know children grow, but the t-shirts still fit my son, but the jumpers do not.) I really wish we did not have to use this supplier for school uniform and I will be speaking to the head teacher about changing supplier.

The Big Red One
Description: Samuel Fuller's valedictory war picture, The Big Red One follows the First Infantry Division from Africa to Europe during the years 1942 through 1945. Lee Marvin portrays the division sergeant; he's tough and experienced, to be sure, but he takes on his job with cool professionalism rather than Hollywood bravado. Based on Fuller's own experiences, the film is a loosely constructed series of anecdotes. Among them are an insane asylum under bombardment while the inmates applaud and a climactic vignette in which a very young concentration camp internee dies while a friendly soldier plays piggy-back with the boy.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

If yet I have not all thy love.John Donne was a sixteenth and seventeenth century poet, in the metaphysical school of poetry. He's known for his extremely witty (and sometimes, very sexual) poetry. He was a Catholic when it was out of style. He inspired poets like T. S. Eliot, and also the title of the Ernest Hemingway novel For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Draghi: ECB Looking At New Tools For Growth
"Good availability of credit at affordable cost is essential to the eurozone economy," said Marie Diron, senior economic adviser to Ernst & Young.
Analysts say it would be hard for the ECB to follow other central banks and do quantitative easing through bond purchases. Such a move would likely face resistance from the eurozone's largest economy, Germany, which has a strong aversion to measures that might risk inflation or excessively support government finances. It would also raise the difficult question of which country's bonds to buy â¿¿ an issue faced only by the ECB as a multinational central bank.
However, analyst Michael Schubert at Commerzbank predicted the ECB would hold off any further action, especially if the recovery comes through. "Since we think a stabilization is more likely, we stick to our forecast of no further ECB action in coming quarters," he said.

Critic Reviews for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2
All Critics (305) | Top Critics (49) | Fresh (292) | Rotten (13) | DVD (10)
For 10 years and eight films we've gotten to watch these young actors grow as people, as performers and as characters. It has been a true coming-of-age saga, in the fullest and most moving sense of the term.
Fiennes and Rickman get the actorly moments they've been building toward for so long, and the film is most fun when it sticks to mechanics: roller coaster rides, battle scenes, close calls.
In the 10 years since Harry's first big- screen close-up, the spell has never been broken. And we Muggles have been made better for the magic.
It's a pleasant irony that, just as the first installments of Rowling's oeuvre were better suited to page than screen, the final installments have reversed the relationship.
When the movie was over, a young boy sitting behind me said, "That was great!" He was satisfied, and rightly so.
The final instalment, Deathly Hallows Part 2, is a bravura duel between good and evil. It's also a cathartic, occasionally clunky nostalgiafest.
Come the conclusion, tears no doubt will be shed, probably by those more devoted than I. Whether they cry because of overwhelming emotion or in mourning an era's end, I'm not sure. Probably both.
Radcliffe retains an endearingly owlish demeanor. But he also captures the quiet determination of a young man determined to confront his life-or-death destiny -- making the world safe for good folks, wizards and Muggles alike -- with admirable aplomb.
It's a bittersweet end as the final adaptation of the beloved books hits the big screen. Expect tears, both from nostalgia and some truly amazing storytelling.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 is a fine finish to a franchise that most, including myself, wish would never end.
It comes to an end with class, dignity and a fair amount of relief on the part of yours truly.
The most enduring aspect of the Harry Potter films, and the reason this one works, is the acting of its three young leads.
It certainly went out making its presence felt, but in my opinion, though there were explosions aplenty, a few deaths, and everyone inevitably ended up with who they should, I felt it ended with more of a fizz than a bang.
The grand finish, if not always inspired, feels necessary. In a sustained, imaginative way, this is the best of any movie series.
The film is strong enough to have the unusual effect of improving its predecessors in the memory simply by association.
Sadly, though, the finale isn't the spectacle the series really deserves, and I feel fans will gloss over the film's dull points and poor direction in favour of facing the reality that 'the Deathly Hallows Part 2' is an average affair.
Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 lives up to the standard set by its predecessors, remaining true to their spirit while also delivering an epic battle royal between Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).
As to the three principals, they've grown up with the Potter saga and have done so reasonably gracefully.
When the time comes to face Harry's fate, Radcliffe confidently, casually shows how much he's matured as an actor.
I must confess to being completely unmoved by the Harry Potter phenomenon. The books strike me as derivative and bland, and the film versions are, if anything, even worse.
When Yates gets it right, Deathly Hallows: Part Two roars with majestic otherworldly oomph.
I for one am glad to see Harry Potter come to a close. It was one of the most reliable film franchises ever to go beyond a trilogy, even at its spottiest, and I imagine that an entire generation will look back on it with fond memories.
Audience Reviews for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2
Ten years comes to a close in grand fashion. Two hours of stand up and cheer, break out the kleenex cries, and closure on a series of movies that captured a generation or six :)
Easily the most action packed of the movies and in reality its just the final act of a very long movie. Watch part 1 before seeing part 2 just to make sure you have the set up all fresh in your heads.
From Rickman to Fiennes to Carter to Smith to everyone inbetween everyone shines, not just the big names Radcliffe, Grint and Watson who once again prove that casting directors sometimes get things right. If anything the casting of the Harry Potter franchise get a lifetime achievement award. Spot on across the board.
Deathly Hallows Part 2 was what we all wanted. From beginning to end we were given a ride that is for the fans of this series. If you are not, not sure whats wrong with you but move along. This is not a movie someone can just pick up and go along with, there is no emotional ties unless you have invested the time and energy into the entire series and than the payoff is magnificent.
The Harry Potter films should go down in history as a masterpiece of storytelling.
Super Reviewer
I really thought I wasn't going to love this upon second viewing.
Nope, it's just as good as I remember it.
Super Reviewer
The deathly flaw in the franchise is that (like most adolescents, come to think of it) it believes that the world revolves around its hallowed protaganist. No protaganist = no life, nothing to do. Lots of visual shine and dazzle work to try to disguise that no character even exists w/o the lead's presence ... revealing the shallow heart of the piece. And so a film with a boatload of Britain's top talent all monotonously repeating two words over and over: "Harry Potter." "Harry Potter." You'll be saying it in your sleep. But the film? Meh.More

The Harry Potter films had their ups and downs, but fortunately they reached their peak at the perfect time - the end.More
