Five unique video games by different developers were released between 2001 and 2003 by Electronic Arts, that were loosely based on the film and book: Nora Jemisin is niet bepaald een schrijver die alles uit spelt, maar de lezer tamelijk hard laat werken om zelf uit te vinden hoe haar wereld in elkaar zit en wat er met haar hoofdpersonen aan de hand is. Dat is natuurlijk ook precies wat de boeken zo verslavend maakt: je bent zó nieuwsgierig en geïntrigeerd dat je blijft doorlezen totdat je uitgeknobbeld hebt hoe de wereld op het randje van de ondergang is terecht gekomen en je wilt vervolgens weten of het nog gaat lukken om die ondergang te verhinderen. Wat ook intrigerend is, is dat het boek drie verschillende hoofdpersonen met drie verschillende verhalen heeft, die uiteindelijk op verrassende wijze bij elkaar komen. Die hoofdpersonen zijn een moeder van in de veertig, die thuis komt en ontdekt dat haar man hun zoontje heeft doodgeslagen (en daar in de ogen van de rest van de wereld een goede reden voor had), een meisje dat door haar ouders wordt verkocht aan een onbekende man uit de hoofdstad omdat er iets vreselijks met haar aan de hand is, en een jonge vrouw in een soort opleidingsinstituut die haar eerste opdracht moet uitvoeren ergens in een havenstadje onder leiding van een ervaren kracht waar ze tevens een kind mee moet zien te krijgen, als deel van de opdracht. Hm, geen al te leuke wereld, zo te horen. Writers on education and business subjects have used the book as an object lesson. Writing about clinical teaching in medical schools, Jennifer Conn contrasted Snape's technical expertise with his intimidating behaviour towards students. Quidditch coach Madam Hooch on the other hand, illustrated useful techniques in the teaching of physical skills, including breaking down complex actions into sequences of simple ones and helping students to avoid common errors. [93] Joyce Fields wrote that the books illustrate four of the five main topics in a typical first-year sociology class: "sociological concepts including culture, society, and socialisation; stratification and social inequality; social institutions; and social theory".

Stephen Brown noted that the early Harry Potter books, especially Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, were a runaway success despite inadequate and poorly organised marketing. Brown advised marketing executives to be less preoccupied with rigorous statistical analyses and the "analysis, planning, implementation, and control" model of management. Instead he recommended that they should treat the stories as "a marketing masterclass", full of enticing products and brand names. [52] For example, a real-world analogue of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans was introduced under licence in 2000 by toymaker Hasbro.

Outwardly, they differ from “regular” humans not at all, and indeed have all the same physical traits we recognize as human: varying skin tones and hair textures, for example. They have the same skeletal structures, the same eyes, the same number of fingers and toes. Clearly, they’ve evolved from, and alongside, Homo sapiens.

These books resonated with me on so many levels, they are stories about oppression, bigotry & discrimination seen through the lens of a young girl with extraordinary abilities. They are also stories about parenting, childhood, love & loss.

Hagrid escorts Harry to Diagon Alley, the hidden wizard commerce and retail section in London. Harry's parents have left him a fortune kept in Gringotts Wizarding Bank, which he uses to buy school supplies and a wand from Ollivander's. The cores of Harry and Lord Voldemort's wands have feathers from the same phoenix bird, making them "brothers". Hagrid gifts Harry an owl, whom he names as Hedwig, as a birthday present. A month later, Harry boards the Hogwarts Express at King's Cross railway station's secret Platform 9 + 3⁄ 4. En route to Hogwarts, Harry befriends fellow first year Ron Weasley and meets Hermione Granger, whom the two boys initially dislike.

But her first case out of Quantico has her seeking justice for three young boys found murdered outside of Nashville, Tennessee. In a 1989 interview he called them "four very short novels which hang together as one work, called The Stone Book Quartet, where again I write about Alderley Edge, luminously but not magically." [2] The allusion is to The Weirdstone of Brisingamen and its sequels (1960, 1963, 2012), which concern the locale of Alderley Edge, although not the village itself. ISFDB calls them the Alderley series. [1] In the same interview he called the work "exhausting" but "the most rewarding of everything" he'd done to date. [2] So when he showed up on my doorstep offering me everything I'd ever dreamed of - him, I couldn't help but think of the age-old idiom:

Reading each volume of The Broken Earth trilogy by N. K. Jemisin left me electrified. The first two books, The Fifth Season and The Obelisk Gate, won the past two annual Hugo awards for best novel—a rare occurrence. Her final book in the series, The Stone Sky, is up for the 2018 Hugo. Here’s why I think this science-fiction/epic fantasy trilogy is so important, and why I’m rooting for it to win. (It’s largely spoiler-free.) Speed-reading after lights out". The Guardian.

Harry runs afoul of Draco Malfoy, the spoiled son of a prominent wizard. At Hogwarts, a magical Sorting Hat sorts the first years among four school Houses ( Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin) that best suit their personalities and talents. Draco joins Slytherin, known for producing dark wizards, while Harry, Ron, and Hermione are sorted into Gryffindor. The gist of these studies: possible connections, even correlations, between rosacea and the presence on the skin of a common type of mite, and the bacteria that the mite carries in its gut. However the end results is unpredictable and keeps on your feet, while also being beautifully parsimonious. Very well done.
