BR 1-15: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow



  The two men appeared out of nowhere, a few yards apart in the narrow, moonlit lane.(p.9)

 I read this in English for the first time at age of 16. This is volume 7, so final volume in this series. The price of books changed immediately in Australia. I went to Australia when the Deathly Hallow which is the final volume of Harry Potter was released. I was waiting a little, I purchased it at a price of about half the price of the first. This volume told me Snape's feeling and Dumbledore's thinking. I felt sad and happy when I read it. When I read it half, I thought Dumbledore has bad idea about Harry. Because Dumbledore wanted to use Harry to fight Lord Voldemort. I hate him then. I think that Snape's feeling was pure. Because he has loved Harry's mother Lily since he met her. Harry noticed Snape guard them by Voldemort's army. I became to like Snape.
 I think that Harry Potter series are end, but everyone will miss these.

J.K.Rowling.(2007).Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow. Bloomsbury.

1st episode of a foreign TV drama

  I introduce CSI New York. I love mystery and suspense. I want to introduce other CSI series and Criminal Mind, but now I have to introduce 1 drama. CSI means Crime Science Investigation.

  The 1st episode of first season, there are six characters. First, I introduce Mack “Mac” Taylor. He is the chief of the lab in N.Y. He lost his wife in the September 11 attacks. He thinks teamwork is first. Even if a person disturbing the ring of the team is a close subordinate, he is severe, and he scolds the severely. However, he trusts a subordinate very much, but is always wants reason. Therefore, he is respected by everybody of the laboratory.
 Second, I introduce Stella Bonasera. She has a nickname as "the Statue of Liberty" from tough intention and decision, intelligence. She grew up as the orphans of a Greek and the Italian person of mixed parentage in a child nursing home. A letter reaches the laboratory from her in Episode 1 in the seventh season, and it is shown that she was transferred to New Orleans as a chief.
 Third, I introduce Danny Messer. He spent the childhood raised in a downtown area, and was miserable, and he and his family had a shallow relation to the dark side of society. Therefore, he has a unique sensitivity and view of ethics. On the other hand, he is always saying a joke, and he respects Mac.
 Fourth, I introduce Sheldon Hawkes. He was the New York City autopsy station coroner. He was a genius who graduated from a university at 18 years old and acquired the qualification of the surgeon at 24 years old. He has the experience of several years in the emergency care room.
 Fifth, I introduce Aiden Burn. She has love and will to work. She resigned from CSI in Episode 2 of season 2. After retirement, she had acquired the license of private detective while she looked for evidence that connects a rape incident and a person. She was tailing the person in Episode 23 of Season 2. However, she was ambushed, and everyone didn’t know that she was beaten to death, and here corpse was cremated. She was left in the form of finding fatal evidence for hunt down the person to co-worker in the meantime who was about to be killed.
 Finally, I introduce Donald “Don” Flack, Jr. He is a detective of the New York City police department. His family are police officer and he continues it for the 3rd generation, and his friendly relations with CSI may collapse because he loves the police. He is very strong in the sense of justice and goes in the manner that does not have a pardon for the evil. Many descendants of Irish immigrants work in the New York City Police Department, he is one of those people. So, he speaks Gaelic.

 The title is "Blink". First story begins with Mac in church. After that someone called him by mobile phone. He went to the crime scene and received a description of the dead body from Flack. The victim was woman in her late 20s and she has no ID. She is killed in different location, and abandoned. Expansion due to gas had begun. Because of that, hole of the belt is shifted two. This means that the offender has dressed her after death. A serial killing case begins here. Another body is found. The common points between the two people, that there is a contusion around the neck, they were having a stroke. Victim of the second person was found in the garbage. Aiden and Danny found a camera from there. Part of photographic negative was broken, but others could be developed. They understood that it is a camera of the second victim. Most photographs were sightseeing, but there was one photo that no one knows. That was the photograph which she threw kiss to photographer at a place. They think it is a hint for that location, and Mac was to determine the location by triangulation. They went there and they found one woman who was still alive. She was victim of third person. From the fact that pupil is contracted, so she was alive. Two victims were killed, and one person is serious condition. The third victim is alive, but she has no pain and is in a comatose condition. Mac took a photograph of around her neck and took her fingerprint to inquire into her birth and parentage. She blinked her eyes when she apologized for Mac having made her feeling unpleasant. The blink is not accidental. The criminal has medical knowledge. She has "lockedin syndrome". It is a rare neurologic disease, and the muscles of the whole body except both eyes are paralyzed. A heart is shut in the body, but the consciousness is normal. However, the recovery is difficult. The criminal performed intentionally, and he got the hang of it. From the fact that the victim of the first is found to be a Russian woman who were discovered in the second. Two people abandoned because the killer failed, woman in hospital was alive because he was successful. Mac would get answers to questions by the blinks of third victim. Her condition became worse when she looked at the pictures of landlord on the way. They investigated thoroughly, but the fingerprint is not in the house. So, Mac tried the laser and rhodamine. As a result, Cyrillic characters came out. It came out BI in Russian. The initial was birth and parentage acceptor of the Russian victim. He was a doctor in the former Soviet Union. He defected to the U.S.A. He confessed to his having gone for his ego. They resolved the case, but third victim did not wake up. Mac went to see her and he began to talk about his wife’s things. His wife was killed in September 11 attacks and he discarded all of her things except a beach ball which his wife inflated. Because the breath of his wife is inside in it. After that, he went to ground zero by cab and saw names. It’s the end of this episode.

  I recommend this series because it is very interesting. I want you to watch it! You can borrow the DVD or watch on TV.
