Harry Potter Mania…the Climax

We are witnessing Harry potter mania as never seen before…..not only because it’s the last one of the series. A lot of things happen….

A lot of characters are killed off….some are apprehensive of Harry himself.

In the previous episodes, all ye Harry Potter readers were in a parallel universe…but then that parallel universe was a world of fantasy. But this episode seems to merge this parallel universe into our own realistic world.

That was what J.K. Rowling was hinting at for a long time.

What makes this final episode interesting is its REALISTIC APPROACH.

Harry seems to be making a transformation from adolescence to adulthood. He has to confront his own frailties, his own limitations in dealing with Voldemort.. The preview says the elves, goblins & other exotic beings choose sides dependent on what they think the outcome is going to be.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows……It is the climax of the Eternal Conflict between the Forces of Good & the Forces of Evil.

Readers must brace themselves for the death of 5-6 of their favorite characters…..methinks Harry will live, badly bruised.

But what about Hermione, what about Ron ? The ultimate sacrifice is demanded from one of them….

Russia flexing its muscles again

Russia , sensing NATO is overstretched in 5-7 fronts, is flexing its muscles. One has to remember the Cold War Era + the undeniable fact that Russia still has a NUCLEAR ARSENAL ALMOST EQUAL TO THE USA....in some areas , even greater.

This is adding to the already growing tension.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia on Wednesday rejected a NATO offer to hold a special conference on a key European arms pact and instead proposed working on a new agreement, local news agencies quoted a top defense ministry official as saying.

President Vladimir Putin announced on Saturday Russia would pull out of the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty, a landmark pact limiting post-Cold War military strength.

NATO said it was "very concerned" at the pullout and suggested Russia should join an extraordinary conference to discuss its concerns about the treaty.
