Review Of Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part 2

Hello my fellow people! This is my review for the latest Harry Potter movie!
The latest movie in the 10 years of installments is easily one of the best.  Much darker than most of the others, I will warn you, with the deaths of many supporting characters as well as some parts that I will admit truthfully made me hide behind my popcorn bucket in fright. I saw it in 3D, which I FULLY recommend, because the 3D was spot-on amazing. Everything seemed so real, almost as if you were really at Hogwarts! The special effects were also great and are easily some of the best in the series. So, the movie starts off with a slightly confusing flashback sequence, but immediately afterward jumps right into the heist of Gringotts. The amazingly created Battle of Hogwarts begins shortly afterward, with plenty of suspense and action that the 7th installment lacked a bit in. Some of the best animated parts were the face off between Ron, Hermione and Voldemort's evil snake Nagini, the ride on the dragon guarding Bellatrix Lestrange's Gringotts vault, and the final battle scenes with Harry and Voldemort. I loved this film and it is a definite MUST SEE for fans of all ages.

If you excuse me, I have a lord of dark magic to fight. Cheers!

England- Day 15

Hello people! Connor here while picking out correct giraffe pictures!

Today we went to the London Zoo and had a great time. We saw penguins chilling in their pool, butterflies flying around, and much more! We also went to a place where we could get very close to the monkeys and the gorillas! My favorite part was when I got to get face to face with a giraffe and feed him leaves! This was a fun day, TOTALLY recommend it, and i'm done. Enjoy the rest of your day!

England- Day 14

Hello readers, Connor here after putting together confusing LEGO sets!

Today we went to Legoland. It was tons of fun. We got to build a Lego set, go on 3 different water rides, we got to drive our own Lego car, and even see LEGO-ized versions of famous European monuments such as Big Ben, the Tower Bridge and a working London Eye! We also went on a cool roller coaster called The Dragon and it was even inside of a castle where we got to have some ice cream afterward!
I'm done now. Go play with some Legos or something.

England- Day 13

Hello Everyone, Connor here after checking out big space rocks!
Yesterday we went to Greenwich and had a good time. We went to the National Maritime Museum and saw many ships and water related exhibits. There was even this really big stained glass window inside too!
Then we went to the Observatory and we got to stand on the Prime Meridian, as well as visit galleries with activities about time and longitude.

And yes, yesterday WAS Tuesday, so we saw a play! Yesterday's play was War Horse, based off a book both me and Zach have read. War Horse takes place in WWI and is about a boy named Albert who loses his horse Joey when his father sends Joey out to war. Joey the has many adventures throughout the war and is eventually reunited with Albert. I highly recommend seeing/reading War Horse, GREAT use of your time! (Also, thought I might mention this, War Horse is playing on Broadway and in London, and is soon to be a movie in late December.)

England- Day 12

HELLO!
Today we went to Winston Churchill's London At War Experience. We did a lot of things that pertain to London in WWII. We got to try on gas masks and army gear, as well as watch a video about what happened during the war. We even got to see what it would be like to be in an air raid!

Then we went to the HMS Belfast and had an awesome time! We saw many parts of the ship including the engine room, the bridge, the bunker, and many others. We even got to play a touchscreen game where we directed our planes and submarines to find ship parts. The day was tons of fun.
Be Seeing You Laters!

England- Weekend Edition

Howdy Everyone! Connor here with your weekend update!
Yesterday we went to Portsmouth to see the tall ships! We saw the HMS Warrior, and the HMS Victory! They were both Navy ships and the Warrior was the only steel ship of its time. We also went on a tour of the harbor and saw all of the Navy ships that were docked. Even a U.S. ship was there!

Today we went on a "London Walk" to see some places that were in the Harry Potter movies and places that inspired J.K. Rowling for the books! We went to both of the versions of The Leaky Cauldron (For people who don't know, there were two Leaky Cauldron pubs because the first ones' road was not wide enough for the 3rd movie's Knight Bus to go through.) We also saw the original Goblet of Fire (A topper for the monument of the Great Fire of London) as well as where they shot the Gringotts Bank scenes!
AVADA KEDAVRA!

England- Day 9

Hey Everybody! Connor Here!
Today we went to England's Natural History Museum and had an AWESOME time!
The first exhibit we went to was Creepy Crawlies, where we saw many interactive booths all about bugs and some kinds of fish! There was even a life size African termite mound right in the middle. I also got to build a spider and the program formed the spider model as I made selections on the computer screen. It was a lot of  fun. Next, we went to an ecology exhibit and learned about the planet in a fun interactive way, including a HUGE globe shaped tv screen, we even got to see how animals use energy. Afterwards, we ended up in a gift shop where i bought a stuffed dolphin and Zach got a stuffed penguin! (yes Caroline, Zach is also a penguin fan.) Afterwards, we bought tickets to go into the amazing "Land of The Dinosaurs" exhibition! We got to see many bones and body parts of dinosaurs, but the big draw of the exhibit was 6 or 7 incredibly lifelike animatronic dinosaurs! Afterwards, we went into this fantastic earthquake simulator which simulated a quite slimmed-down version of an earthquake in Japan. (Aleks is commenting that the subway ride home was rougher than the simulation)
Tally Ho!
