Harry Potter, wow, that is all I can say. I thought it was pretty bad actually, I am an avid Harry Potter fan, and it mis-represented the book pretty badly. The concepts in The Half- Blood Prince were intresting though. Some include the idea of apparition, or the the thought of going wherever you wanted with just the thought was intriguing. Another movie that incorporated this theme was the film Jumper, I do not know how this is relatively possible. Maybe something about tears in the cloth that is the universe, finding a different egmet that is open and entering it. I think if you think of the universe as a single cloth representing space and time then you can rip and tear and you will end up in a different space and time. A cool idea from Harry Potter was the idea of the pensieve. This is the idea that your memory is a sort of tangible entity that can be put inot this pensive and be read. What you do is, is put your wand to your head and extract the memory and put it into the pensieve , so now you can jump into the pensieve and you bebcome part of the memory as if it is happensing right beside you. I have no idea how this could happen, I think this was a part of Rowling’s genius though. She puts in ideas that humans would love to actually have. Potions that make you fall in love or make you have a day full of luck. Things like these are pretty much some of the most deepest desires of people around us.
