About the HP books being full of stereotypes (2007): "Harry Potter has helped change loads of stereotypes. Where else, in fiction, can you find a character as clever as Hermione, who is an absolute feminist and won't accept to be second to none? Gosh! It's true that they're children books, but they cover most important subjects like life, death, politics, the importance of friendship and the choices that need to be made. Harry Potter really makes children think, it's not just like any other production for teenagers."

Alarice's Inspiration Story


Emma Watson is my all time FAVORITE actress, but is also my role model. She has inspired me in so many great ways and she really changed my life (even though it sounds kind of cheesy.) You see, I used to be a pretty bad person, like I hung around with the "bad" crowd at school, I smoked, drank, and pretty much let peer pressure control my life. I didnt realize the things I was doing were so bad untill I started getting into Emma Watson and Harry Potter. Emma is such a great person and she has such a fun life without doing drugs or drinking or stealing or any of that horrible stuff I used to do. She gets good grades and is a really committed actress. She made me want to be just like her. So now Ive quit smoking, I get A's and B's in school (instead of F's and D's like before) Im A LOT nicer to people at school, and I hang around with different people. Im also really into acting now and this summer i'm in an acting program that gets to travel to New York to perform on broadway! So basically Emma helped bring me back down to earth and realize that there are better things in life to be doing. She helped me turn everything around!!
