Title of the Book: Harry Potter (All series of books)
Author: J.K Rowling
Story:



Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by the English author J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle the adventures of the adolescent wizard Harry Potter and his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The central story arc concerns Harry's struggle against the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents in his quest to conquer the wizarding world and subjugate non-magical people ((Source:Wikipedia))

Harry Potter books is all about friendship, battle against evil, racism and division of people. The books (as well as the movies) shows the discrimination that is happening now for example the Pure blood (pure magical family) thinks that Muggle Born (non magical wizards) doesn't belong to the wizardry world and doesn't have the right to study magic. And also it shows friendship because like Ron and Hermione they supported Harry on the times that he needed them most and they are friends not because of Harry's popularity but because he is just Harry their friend.

Quotes: (My Favorite based on Characters)

Professor Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) [Potions Professor & Slytherin's Head]

"I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death —
if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to
teach."


"Moronic though some of this class undoubtedly are, I expect you to scrape an
'Acceptable' in your O.W.L., or suffer my... displeasure."

"Oh, very good," interrupted Snape, his lip curling. "Yes, it is easy to see
that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter.
'Ghosts are transparent.'"


"Fascinating though your social life undoubtedly is, Miss Granger, I
must ask you not to discuss it in my class. Ten points from
Gryffindor."



Harry Potter (Dan Radcliffe)

"Brilliant! It's Potions last thing on Friday! Snape won't have the time to poison us all!"



"I realised I can’t shut myself away or crack up. It could be me next,
couldn’t it? But if it is, I’ll make sure I take as many Death Eaters
with me as I can and Voldemort too, if I can manage it."


"Snape killed Dumbledore." (me: He did not, Don't say that or I'll kill you Pot-head!!"



Professor Albus Dumbledore (Hogwarts Headmaster)


"I believe your friends Misters Fred and George Weasley were
responsible for trying to send you a toilet seat. No doubt they thought
it would amuse you."


"...I took a wrong turn on the way to the bathroom and found myself in a
beautifully proportioned room I had never seen before, containing a really rather
magnificent collection of chamberpots. When I went back to investigate more closely,
I discovered that the room had vanished. But I must keep an eye out for it. Possibly
it is only accessible at five thirty in the morning. Or it may only appear at the
quarter moon - or when the seeker has an exceptionally full bladder."



“Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live
without love. By returning, you may ensure that fewer souls are maimed, fewer
families are torn apart. If that seems to you a worthy goal, then we say good-bye
for the present.”




My Comments about the book:


I hate JK Rowling for making this book because now I'm totally Obsessed with it and my favorite character is Professor Severus Snape simply because I always love his sarcasm towards Harry and other students. I hate Harry Potter because he is just like those wanna be heroes that always follow their curiosity.

Title: Forrest Gump
Author: Winston Groom
Story: This is about the
adventures of an IDIOT who became a football player (because of his
height), a soldier in the Vietnam war (because he is an idiot remember?
That is where they send men that can't afford academic excellence), an
astronaut in NASA (together with the orangutan, Sue, they were also
stranded in an uncivilized village where he learned to play chess), an
American Chess delegate, a ping-pong player, a wrestler, a business man
who doesn't care about his own business, a millionaire and most of
all......a lover.







This book was already filmed. I also
recommend that you watch the movie because it is totally amazing and
inspiring. He was well, 'inserted' into the history of America. In the
movie, the signature footwork of Elvis Presley originated from him, he
also revealed a very controversial case in American politics. There is
also a scene when he ran all over America because he was so upset.
There, it was said that he started the concept of the "smileys" with the
quote, 'Have A Nice Day!'. And many more....there is just so much.

From
the book:
- " Let me say this: bein an idiot is no box of
chocolates."

...
Partly from the book or movie....I can't
totally remember but this is a nice scene:
" That your little boy?" I
axed.
"Yep," she say, " ain't he cute?"

"Shore is-what you
call him?"

"Forrest"

"Forrest?" I say. "You name him after
me?"

" I named him after his father" she says.

" He got a
father that if Forrest too?"

" You are his father Forrest".....

....
the rest is history.

from movie:
