HOW HARRY POTTER ENDS
Simplified plot points of Deathly Hallows (forgive me if I get a few out of order, it was a long book):
The Wizard community of Britain is suffused with fear and desperation now that Voldemort has returned to life. He and his Death Eaters have infiltrated every important Wizard organization, including the Ministry of Magic. Voldemort has used his pawns, murder, kidnappings, and the Imperius curse to control the highest ranks of the Ministry. He installs his underlings in key positions, and kills or blackmails (usually with their own relatives) any who speak against him. Harry, Ron and Hermione, after short interludes with their families to say goodbye (and attend Fleur's wedding) set out to follow Dumbledore's last instructions to destroy Voldemort's remaining horcruxes.
With Voldemort chasing Harry, the Order of the Phoenix attempts to smuggle Harry to safety just before his 17th birthday (when Harry's mother's protections wear off). Somebody - it is assumed Snape - leaks the Auror plans and several Phoenix members are murdered by Voldemort and Death Eaters as Harry desperately seeks a new place of protection. Voldemort confronts Harry but is unable to kill him as Harry's wand seemingly acts of its own will and reflects Voldemort's death curse back at him, almost killing him. Snape blows off Fred Weasley's ear in the chase, deforming him for life. On the night of Fleur's wedding, Scrimgeour the Minister of Magic reveals reluctantly that Dumbledore willed several items to the students. Harry receives a golden snitch that will not open. Hermione receives a book of Wizard children's fairy tales. Ron receives a deluminator. None of them has any idea why these gifts were given.
Shortly after the wedding, Voldemort murders Scrimgeour and sends Death Eaters to find Harry at the wedding. Harry escapes with his friends in time, but the Death Eaters now openly torture anyone that Harry has known. Several friends lose their parents to these inquisitions in searching for Harry.
Harry, Ron and Hermione find refuge in the old OotP hiding place that only Secret Keepers can see. They wrack their brains for where the other horcruxs could be, but come up empty. Harry is ultimately persuaded to treat Kreature with respect and gains a new understanding of how badly Wizards have treated him and the sacrifices that Regulus made to spare Kreature when Kreature was used by Voldemort to hide the underground cavern Horcrux. Meanwhile Harry finds an old letter from his mother that hints that Dumbledore might not always have been as kind as Harry thought. The trio learn that Voldemort entrusted some of his horcruxes to his servants, without telling them what they were.
Belving that one of the Horcruxes is possessed by Delores Umbridge by unwitting way of a thieving Mundungus who robbed Kreature of his possessions (who had in turn received the underground cavern horcrux from Regulus Black) after Sirius died, the trio infiltrates the Ministry of Magic with Polyjuice potions. Inside they learn that the Ministry has now begun interring non-pureblood Wizards in Azkaban and is covertly following Voldemort's will to begin a war on all Mudbloods, Blood Traitors and Muggles. The trio manages to free the current Ministry prisoners and steal the Slytherin locket horcrux from Umbridge before escaping. Harry's wand is broken in the escape and he must borrow wands for the rest of the book to use magic (and his magic is stunted).
They soon realize, however, that they have no magic powerful enough to destroy a horcrux. Meanwhile, Harry has begun the reverse of the visions that plagued him in the Order of the Phoenix - he can see into Voldemort's mind without Voldemort knowing, though it causes him great pain. Voldemort cannot apparently return the favor any longer. Harry learns that Voldemort has kidnapped/murdered/tortured some famous wand makers and is seeking an artifact of great power. Harry does not yet know what, but he believes that it is central to the final showdown. Hermione realizes that she blew their hiding spot in escaping from the Ministry, so the trio begin a long, miserable experience of hiding in the woods under protective charms, almost totally cut off from the outside world.
The trio make a short detour to Godric's Hollow talk to Bathilda (something), a historian of magic who knew Dumbledore well when he was young. While there they visit Harry's parent's resting place, notice an odd marking on another grave the looks familiar to one in Hermione's book, and are ambushed by Voldemort as he has murdered Bathilda and placed his snake familiar Nagini in her rotting corpse. They manage to escape Voldemort by mere seconds, but not before stealing a copy of Rita (whatever)'s new book "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore" (she was the hack journalist from the other books).
Shortly thereafter, they visit Luna Lovegood's father, Xeno(something). He tells them of the significance of a symbol that the trio had seen in several important places:
the Deathly Hallows - three artifacts of power referenced in a story in Hermione's children's book. Xeno attempts to betray the trio to the Death Eaters as Luna was being ransomed, but the trio escapes in a fiery explosion that destroys his house.

After months of living on the land and laying low, and being exposed to the horcrux every day, the group begins to fracture. They search everywhere for the Horcruxs that they dare, avoiding only those places which are surely watched by Death Eaters. Ron leaves the party for a time after a disagreement with Harry, and even Hermione begins to lose spirit. However, just when hope seems lost, a silver doe Patronus appears to Harry in the woods and leads him to an icy pond under which lies the sword of Gryffindor.
As Harry strips and dives into the icy water, the horcrux he has worn around his neck attempts to strangle him to keep him away from the sword. Ron reappears with the help of the deluminator, saves him, and picks up the sword. Harry then tells Ron that he must destroy the innards of the locket, which he opens with Parseltongue and reveals the original eyes of Voldemort. The eyes almost convince Ron to kill Harry, but he manages to resist and stabs them with the sword, destroying the Horcrux.
Soon afterwards, the trio is captured by a group of quasi-mercenaries who specialize in turning in blood traitors and mudbloods to the Ministry in exchange for money. They realize that they have Harry and bring him to Malfoy Manner, where Bellatrix Lestrange is terrified that they have the Sword of Gryffindor. Harry understands immediately that she has what she believed was the real sword in her vault at Gringotts, and that another horcrux is surely there. As Bellatrix tortures Hermione, Harry finds Ollivander, his old wand maker in the dungeon, along with a goblin and Luna Lovegood. Dobbey appears and helps Harry's friends escape, but not before being killed by Bellatrix. In the chaos of the escape, Harry bests Draco in a short duel and seizes his wand and Bellatrix's.
Back in the safety of Fleur's honeymoon house, the trio work with the goblin and Ollivander to piece together the puzzle. Harry begins to believe that they need the Deathly Hallows to find Voldemort - Ollivander confesses to Harry that Voldemort tortured him into telling him where he believed the Elder Wand artifact was, but he does not believe that Voldemort has it yet. A thief stole it from Ollivander some years ago and he believed that it might have ended up with Grimwald, who tried to take over the world a half century ago but was foiled by Dumbledore. More doubts as to Dumbledore's past are raised for Harry as he reads sections of the book, as he begins to hear rumors of a sister that Dumbledore may have neglected in his youth, who died.
The trio forms a plan to invade Gringott's with the goblin they saved, who demands the sword of Gryffindor in return. Harry reluctantly agrees, and they polyjuice Hermione into Bellatrix to get into the vaults. They barely get past the guards with luck and magic and go into the bowels of the vaults to find what they are looking for when the alarm is sounded. The trio lose the sword to the goblin, but manage to find the Hufflepuff Cup horcrux and barely escape on the back of a blind dragon that had been guarding the vaults. The dragon rips up Gringott's badly as it escapes and enshrines Harry as an international hero in the eyes of resisting Wizards everywhere.
With only three horcruxes left, Harry is sure that two of the remaining are Nagini, Voldemort's familiar, and something belonging to Rawena Ravenclaw. Harry also realizes that both he and Voldemort are looking for the Deathly Hallows from Hermione's story, and that he has the Invisibility Cloak, but Voldemort has now acquired the Elder Wand. The Stone remains hidden.
They journey back to Hogwarts at last, meet Dumbledore's brother, enter Hogwarts through a secret entrance, and organize a last stand against Voldemort through the students and professors. Hermione and Ron seperate from Harry, find the Chamber of Secrets, take a Basilisk tooth, and destroy the Hufflepuff Cup. Meanwhile Harry uses the distraction of the rebellion to hurriedly find Rawena Ravenclaw's Diadem, eventually locating it in the Room of Requirement. Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle attempt to capture Harry, and Crabbe unwittingly releases a curse that he cannot control which consumes the entire room in hellfire, including himself and the Diadem. Harry saves Malfoy's life despite his treachery.
Voldemort orders the attack on Hogwarts while all of this is going on, and many people are killed on both sides. As Harry destroys the Diadem, Voldemort places Nagini in a protective magical sphere and waits for him. With no choice but to confront him to kill Nagini and the 2nd to last horcrux, Harry secretly approaches Voldemort, only to watch Voldemort explain to Snape that he had to kill him. Voldemort has Nagini murder Snape, who as he lays dying, secretes pensieve memories that Harry captures in a flask. Harry takes them to Dumbledore's office and uses the pensieve to see into Snape's mind. He discovers that Dumbledore had predicted almost everything, and had commanded Snape to help Harry (Snape didn't mean to blow off Fred's ear, sent Dobby to save Harry, placed the real sword below the pond, and was about to betray Voldemort when he was murdered). Dumbledore knew that Harry was the final horcrux, and had known all along that he must die willingly to Voldemort in order for the world to be saved.
Harry realizes that it is his fate to die and resigns himself to it. He goes freely to meet Voldemort in the woods, and stands fast as Voldemort curses him with death. As he is blasted, he goes to a sort of Limbo where he speaks with Dumbledore, who is most proud of him. Dumbledore tells Harry that he is at last free from Voldemort's soul, and that he is now the master of the Deathly Hallows (see long story below for details). Harry returns to life, waits for the last battle to ensue, and then challenges Voldemort to a duel. He offers Tom Riddle one last chance to feel remorse for his actions, but Voldemort refuses and attempts to kill Harry with the Elder Wand - which now recognizes Harry as its true master. The wand backfires and kills Voldemort, ending him forever.
19 years later, Harry's scar has not had so much as a twinge. He sees his children, Ron's children, and Draco's children off to Hogwarts. He names his children James, Lily, and Albus-Severus. Fin.

The Deathly Hallows stuff: *MAJOR SPOILERS DO NOT VIEW UNLESS YOU JUST DON'T CARE* "the wand and the rock" aren't just some random pieces of trash. Midway through the story, Harry learns that "the Deathly Hallows" are three powerful artifacts created by three brother wizards who lived a long time ago, and Harry is related to one of them.
The tl;dr story is that "3 wizards cross a lake and create a bridge to get to the other side, Death is pissed that he's been cheated out of 3 souls that should have drowned, so he cleverly goes to the middle of the bridge and decides to grant them each a wish. First brother wishes for a wand that cannot lose, so Death gives him the Elder Wand, also known as the Deathstick and some other names. He leaves the bridge, gets drunk, challenges some wizards to duels, kills them, and is murdered in his sleep while drunk by a sneaky wizard. The Elder Wand then passes from bloody hand to bloody hand down through history as it can only be obtained by murdering the wizard that possesses it.
Second brother on the bridge wished for a way to bring back the dead, so Death gives him a magic stone set in a ring which allows the bearer to see and talk to the dead. Brother leaves bridge, immediately tries to resurrect girl that he once loved who died before they could be married. Unfortunately since people brought back by the stone "don't belong" in the world of the living, he's driven mad by how distant and inhuman she is. He eventually kills himself and the stone becomes lost until Voldemorte finds the ring, although he does not recognize the power of the stone at the time (more on that later). He turns the ring into a horcrux when he kills somebody, and then gives it to a loyal follower who has no idea what it is, but thinks that it's a family heirloom that proves his pureblood and so he must protect it.
Third brother on the bridge is the smartest, and wished for a way to be completely invisible to Death for as long as he wished. Death was pissed but had no choice, so he gave him the Invisibility Cloak off of his back. The third brother left the bridge, lived a full life, and many many years after that since Death could not find him. And one day, he case the cloak off, gave it to one of his descendants, and greeted Death as an old friend and an equal, going willingly to the other side. The Cloak was passed down father to son for generations until the third brother's distant descendant Harry received it.
One of the themes of the book was Hallows vs. Horcruxes, as it was said that he who could unite the three Hallows would be able to conquer Death. Dumbledore, at the end of the book when he meets Harry who has just been killed by Voldemort, tells Harry a whole bunch of things which I'll try to summarize:
1. Only somebody who did not want the Deathly Hallows for personal gain would ever be able to conquer Death by acquiring them.
2. The "three brothers" legend was just a way for people to explain the existence of these three artifacts of power. The real story was likely that the three brothers were just amazing Wizards, of whom two created artifacts so powerful that it changed them and led to their miserable deaths. Only the third had his wits about him, and his line of blood ends in Harry.
3. Harry had acquired the Cloak and the Stone under Voldemort's nose because Voldemort (like Harry) had grown up a Muggle and so had never heard the Wizard fairy tales about the Three Brothers. So Voldemort never realized that one of his own horcruxes was a Deathly Hallow because he was too arrogant to see that he might have missed something as simple as a fairy tale legend when he was out and about murdering people.
4. Voldemort had arrogantly assumed that only Wizard magic mattered, when "lesser creature" magic had been contributing to his undoing. Regulus Black got one of Voldemort's horcruxes because Kreature could portal in to the underground cavern with the lake of Inferi. Voldemort had first forced Kreature to drink the poison before placing the horcrux inside the basin, and then left Kreature to die. Regulus, at that moment, summoned Kreature out of the cave with the commands that bind house-elves, and learned about the horcruxes. He cured Kreature, returned to the cave with Kreature, drank the poison himself, took the Horcrux, made Kreature swear to guard it, realized that he did not have long to live, and went to try to betray the Death Eaters. He was killed in the process and Harry eventually finds the ring in a chapter of the last book.
5. Final Spoiler: When Harry died, he had destroyed all but one Horcrux, using Basilisk fang poison, Gryffindor's Sword, and (accidentally) magical fire to destroy each in turn. Because Harry himself was a horcrux and had been killed, his soul was finally free from Voldemorts. Harry had collapsed onto the Stone that was the second Deathly Hallow, and so had two of the three Deathly Hallows. Dumbledore informs Harry that Voldemort had gained possession of the Elder Wand, having slain Snape in the hopes that because Snape had slain Dumbledore, the path of blood would lead Voldemort to be the wand's true master. Unfortunately for Voldemort, since Dumbledore agreed to die, he was not murdered and the wand's passage was not made to him. Instead, the wand had passed to Draco Malfoy since it was Draco's actions that had most cloely brought about Dumbledore's death (but Draco didn't know this). And a few weeks before Harry is killed, he conquers a wand from Draco in a short duel in the Malfoy Manner. That makes Harry the master of the three Deathly Hallows, even though Voldemort is holding his wand (which is not responding fully to Voldemort's commands). This means when Voldemort "killed" Harry, the Elder Wand only really killed the last of Voldemort's soul in Harry. He can go back.
Understanding that he has now reunited the three lost artifacts, Harry wills himself back to life. After feigning death for a few minutes, a great battle of the last of the Hogwarts students, plus centaurs, magic beasts, professors, and everybody else left attacks the Death Eaters. In the middle of this Harry stands up and challenges Voldemort to a duel. As they circle each other, Harry explains that he is now more powerful than Voldemort and that if Harry is right, the Elder Wand will not obey Voldemort if he tries to kill Harry. Voldemort doesn't believe him, they cast a single spell at each other, the Elder Wand reflects a death curse right back at Voldemort, and kills him. Harry buries Tom Riddle at Hogwarts.
Edit: forgot what happens to the Deathly Hallows. Harry realizes that if he just dies a natural death some day, the power of the Elder Wand will be broken as the previous owner was not murdered. He leaves the Stone in the middle of the Forbidden Forest where he died and tells nobody of its location so that it will be forgotten in time. He keeps the Cloak and will pass it on to his children. When Harry dies, he will be the last person to have mastered Death since it will be impossible to unite the Hallows again unless he is murdered.
Of course the actual book is much longer and I'm leaving out a lot of stuff, but I still rank it as a great read. THE END.

PAN'S LABYRINTH
Last night I saw Pan's Labyrinth. It was excellent, but we didn't have subtitles. I could only understand the conversations like: "Buenos noches Captain Vidaldi!" "Como estas" "Muy bien" "Vas al labarinthe del fauno?" "Don't fuck with me." "Si" Tonight I'll see it again WITH new fancy subtitles I downloaded. Maybe the movie will be less fucked up and make sense. I mean, c'mon, what the hell is with this guy.  | | Tuesday, January 29th, 2008 | | 8:37 pm |

!!!!!!TURKISH STARWARS!!!!!!
The plot makes as much sense as the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbYczbBla tA The film follows the adventures of two comrades, Murat (Arkın) and Ali (Akkaya), whose ships crash on a desert planet (curiously identical to Cappadocia in Turkey) following a less-than-epic space battle that randomly inserts footage from Star Wars as well as newsreel clips of both Soviet and American space rockets. They are soon assaulted by desert skeletons on horseback who are easily defeated with the pair's knowledge of martial arts. However the film's main villain soon shows up and captures the heroes, bringing them to fight in his gladatorial arena. The villain mentions that he was actually from earth and is in reality a wizard at the age of 1000 exactly. He tries to defeat the Earth, but his attacks are always repelled by a shield of concentrated human brain molecules. The only way for him to bypass this impenetrable defense is to use a human brain to bring it down. The protagonists escape their captors and flee to a cave full of women and children who are also hiding from the tyrannical rule of the villain. While there, Murat develops a romantic connection with one of the women (Uçar) tasked with looking after the children. Zombie minions of the dark lord soon attack the cave, which the now-three main characters all escape from, after seeing several of the children killed and made zombies themselves. Resurfacing at a local bar lifted directly from Star Wars, the two men quickly manage to find themselves in a bar brawl that attracts the attention of the main villain who suddenly appears and captures Murat, leaving Ali and the woman behind.
The hero fights two golden monsters
The hero fights two golden monsters
A mentor (Peyda) then informs Murat about a sword made by "the 13th clan" by melting a mountain, thousands of "space years" ago, in a temple dedicated to Hacı Bektaş Veli that broke free from the Earth when it exploded and eventually landed on this planet.
Shortly afterwards, Murat finds the large sword shaped like a lightning bolt in a cave defended by 4 ninjas who he quickly dispatches. Now renewed by the power of the sword, he sets out to free his friend from the underground cavern where the dark lord is holding him. Unfortunately Ali turns to the dark side since he is also in love with Uçar's character and tries to insult Murat with the quote "Who do you think you are? The man who saves the world?". Murat defeats his possessed friend. Grief-stricken, he decides the next logical step is to boil his golden sword and gold-like human brain in a large pot, and forge it into a pair of gauntlets and boots for himself. Now girded with magically-endowed gloves and super-jumping boots, he sets off to find the dark lord and avenge his friend's death. After fighting the many minions the dark lord has summoned to his defence, he comes face-to-face with his nemesis and karate-chops him in half. The film ends with a Star Wars like ending speech where the watcher learns that human brain is the strongest weapon in the whole universe. | | Thursday, January 3rd, 2008 | | 11:33 pm |
