Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix

Orientation
I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the books will always hold a
special place in my heart. 

Evaluasi 1
I have to say that of all of the books, however, this was not my favorite.

Evaluasi 2
When the series began it was as much of a "feel good" experience as a huge mug of
hot cocoa. The stories were bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and ultimately satisfying.

Interpretation
Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some instances this works...you
feel a whole new level of intensity and excitement by the time you get to the end. I
was truly moved by the last page. Other times the book just has a slightly dreary,
depressing feel. The galloping pace of the other books has slowed to a trot here, and
parts of it do seem long, as if we're reading all about Harry "just hanging out" instead
of having his usual adventures. Reading in detail about Harry cleaning up an old
house, for example - housekeeping is still housekeeping, magical or no, and I'm not
very interested in doing it or reading about other people doing it.

A few other changes in this book - the "real" world comes much more in to play
rather than the fantasy universe of the previous books, and Harry has apparently
been taken off his meds. I know that he had a lot to be grumpy in this book,
especially with being a teenager and all, but the sudden change in his character
seemed too drastic. He goes from being a warm-hearted, considerate person to
someone who will bite his best friend's heads off over nothing. It just seemed like it
didn't fit with his character, like he turned into a walking cliché of the "angry teen"
overnight.

Summary
The "real" story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the book, and this part I loved. I
actually liked the ending (and yes, I cried!) as sad as it was. It packed a punch and it
made me care about the story even more. Still a really good book, with some editing
it would have been great.

1. Galaxy W

Galaxy W looks the same as most of the other galaxy phones. Rectangular, black and gray,
rounded corners and curved edges. This similarity is not a problem for us who have become loyal
fans of the Galaxy Series especially for those who want to upgrade their handsets. Seen from the
side of the Samsung Galaxy W has a body more "fat" than the Galaxy S2. This shape causes the
impression of a premium to fade, it's natural for a cheap mobile phone category so no one should
be blamed on the design. This phone feels flat hands, powerful, sturdy, cheap and plasticky
impressed. It seems that Samsung does provide these features to reduce the price as cheap as
possible.

A 3.7 inch screen does not use super AMOLED because it is designed for medium consumers do
not like his brother S2 dedicated to the upper middle class. Resolution of 480 × 800 pixels is
quite satisfactory when used to browse, view photos and play videos. In the back we will find a
5MP camera comes with LED flash. We ourselves are still not able to test the capabilities of this
camera, most likely the same as the camera on the other galaxy handsets 5MP in size.

Equipped with a 1.4 Ghz processor so as to provide better performance when opening and
running applications. The process of booting from the off is also quite fast even we do not get
bored waiting. Besides the rotation of portrait and landscape display also responsive almost no
lag. Unfortunately we still do not know the relevant information update Ice Cream Sandwich on
Samsung Galaxy W, while we can rely on the default Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS. Currently
when we want it can just go to the nearest mobile phone shop sold from Rp 2.699 million

Samsung Galaxy W to be one of the favorites for the loyal fans of the Galaxy Series phone line
because the prices are relatively affordable in addition to the specifications also fairly competent.
Advanced features that sets it as a screen measuring 3.7 inches with a depth of color that can
reach 252 ppi display colors sharper and brighter. Additionally equipped with a kitchen runway
section 1.4 single core processor combined with Android 2.3 so we do not have to worry when you
want to search for apps in the Android.

2. Blackberry Apollo

Blackberry Apollo introduced by RIM last year precisely in August of 2011. This smart phone is
equipped with 2G and 3G HSDPA. It has a size of a very thin only 11 millimeters or full
dimensions 109 x 60 x 11 mm and weighs only 99 grams. But although the handset is quite steady
handful and its QWERTY keyboard is also responsive when used for typing messages and chat.

Another convenience offered by one of the best-selling type of Blackberry users is the flexibility to
expand the storage capacity up to 32GB using MicroSD. Slot is what will help us when storing
images and video camera catches a very limited due to the internal memory of 512MB. To
simplify the process of multitasking Blackberry Apollo rely RAM capacity of 512MB. With
capacity is likely we will be able to run multiple applications without having to shut it down first.
Performance and capacity are also not be underestimated, camera body rear 5-megapixel
resolution rose is equipped with LED flash that can store images up to 2592х1944 pixels.
Applications camera capable of capturing facial motion or face detection, Geo tagging and image
stabilition. To run 7.0 RIM Blackberry operating systems rely on the processor speed of 800Mhz
so open application process does not require a long time. In fact there is almost no lag at all when
we used to chat and browse using the default browser Blackberry Apollo.

For the medium-size class variants blackberry smartphone this one has enough features to
support such a screen size of 2.4 inches with 246 ppi density of color achieve that though only
display a 65k color but it looks very sharp and classy besides Blackberry Apollo has also been
equipped with Touch-sensitive optical trackpad.

3.  Nokia Asha 306

Nokia Asha 306 officially introduced by Nokia and has attended some time ago in Indonesia. The
design is the same as that carried such as Nokia Asha Nokia Asha 305 and Nokia Asha 311 uses
full Touchscreen.

This phone has the longest section of 110 mm and a width of 53mm and thickness of only 12.8
mm with a total weight of 96 grams. On the front there is a 3-inch screen size has only 56k color
depth and color density of 155 ppi. There are no special features of the phone that can also be
referred to as the smartphone lite. But the matter of prices, which certainly will be more
affordable than a smartphone like android and apple. Only 10 MB of memory capacity give free
for us who like to save the file, luckily this capacity can still be expanded up to 32GB with
additional microSD slot that has been provided in the body of the Nokia Asha 306.
When you first launch some time ago Nokia Asha 306 is priced at Rp 850,000 with several
fittings such as handsets, manual, data cable and earphones. As a supporter of performance, this
phone is equipped with a battery capacity of 1110 mAh Li-ion battery type. According to Nokia
claims the battery is able to last for 600 hours of standby time while 14 talk time.

Although fairly fit - barely the article we should be proud of this phone which is equipped with
Wifi, Bluetooth and microUSB. The main camera on the back has a 2MP sensor capable of
producing images of 1600 × 1200 pixels. Other sensors are quite entertaining that is the
acelerometer and FM Radio. The rest we do not know the details as to what, because this phone
has not been entered in Indonesia.

The Story

Through a minimal amount of voice-over we learn Bella's leaving Arizona – and the sun – behind
to live with her dad, Police Chief Charlie Swan, in Forks, Washington. Her first day at school she
makes friends with Jessica, Angela, Eric and Mike, and spots…cue drum roll please…Edward Cullen.
Be still our beating hearts – his already is.

If you've read the books, you know Bella falls quickly for the strangely cold, strangely detached 17 year old who occupies
the same table at lunch every day with his brothers and sisters. The Cullens stick together and their fellow high school
students tend to leave them alone. They're not ostracized, but they're definitely not the first to get invitations for sleepovers.
But Bella sees something everyone else apparently misses or wisely chooses to ignore.

The film puts Edward and Bella together quicker than the book, which is fine because the most
interesting parts of Meyer's story focus on Bella and Edward by themselves. Edward has to deal
with balancing his desire to bite Bella with his longing to kiss her, which makes for one angst-ey
vampire. And all Bella knows is that she's found the guy she wants to be with; the fact he's a
vampire is pretty much a non-issue.

The Cullen family is the exception to the vampire rule, opting to feast on animals rather than people. They've adapted well to
this lifestyle and although they're by no means totally immune to the smell of humans, they've progressed to the point where
they can live amongst us fairly normally. But when vampires who do love humans – to death – come to town, it's up to
Edward and his family to keep Bella safe.

The Good

Meyer's story takes place in Forks, Washington, and filming in the Pacific Northwest was absolutely
the right decision. The gloomy, overcast skies further add to the brooding quality of the tale, and
of course are necessary since these vampires come out in the daylight but stay out of the sun
(their sparkling skin would be a dead giveaway they're something outside the norm).

Pattinson as Edward totally works. Now he's known to millions of Twilight supporters around the world, but Hardwicke cast
him when practically no one (other than some Harry Potterpeople) knew his name. Pattinson took the film Edward to a
slightly darker place than the book Edward, and in doing so made him more appealing - on multiple levels.

Also earning high marks are the performances by Billy Burke (Charlie), Taylor Lautner as Jacob
(though his screen time is extremely limited), and the actors who play the Cullen family –Elizabeth
Reaser (Esme), Peter Facinelli (Dr Carlisle Cullen), Nikki Reed (Rosalie), Kellan Lutz(Emmett), Jackson
Rathbone (Jasper) and stand-out Ashley Greene whose Alice is exactly as written in Meyer's book
series. Anna Kendrick, Justin Chon, Michael Welch, and Christian Serratos fill the roles of Bella's
classmates and are actually more interesting as portrayed onscreen than in the novel thanks to
Rosenberg's ability to speak teen.

The Bad

There aren't as many quiet romantic moments between Edward and Bella as there are in Meyer's
book, which of course has a lot to do with the fact you cannot cram every page from the book into
the feature film. Yet I really missed a few of the more memorable tender scenes between the two
that stand out in the novel.

Also, the meadow scene… Well, it's not the book's meadow scene that's for sure. Still, it's in the movie and that's thanks to
tireless campaigning by director Hardwicke who knew how important it was to Twilight fanatics. And, sadly, the baseball
scene seems off. I can't put my finger on exactly what's wrong with it, but it feels a little forced and hokey at the same time.
Maybe it's the baseball caps.

I'm also not sold on Kristen Stewart's performance as Bella. Sticking this in the 'bad' section is a
stretch – she's a good actress and it's not like she delivered a terrible performance. It's just this
Bella never seems happy, not even when she finds out the impossibly gorgeous vampire is in love
with her. Does Stewart smile in the film? I honestly can't remember, but if she does it's a rare
occurrence. I didn't buy Stewart as a teen in love.

The Ugly

While Facinelli's performance as Dr Carlisle Cullen is spot on, his transformation from a brunette
with a normal Caucasian skin tone to a bleached white blonde actually elicited chuckles from the
preview audience. The first time he appeared onscreen was one of those moments that yanks you
out of the film because it's so strikingly obvious he's in make-up.

Horrible, horrible special effects also serve to pull the audience right out of this imaginary world of Twilight's vegetarian
vampires who live alongside humans. Edward's ability to run lightning fast looks about as cheesy as you can get, and the
sparkle effect is disappointing. Summit Entertainment should have given Hardwicke a larger effects budget so she could do
justice to critical ingredients of the story that didn't have to do with performances. Seriously, why skimp on the effects
budget when you've got a potential blockbuster film franchise hanging in the balance?

TWILIGHT
One of the most highly anticipated films of the year may well be a complete mystery to anyone
over the age of 20. Stephanie Meyer’s series of Twilight novels have been a teenage publishing
sensation, especially in the United States where over 20 million copies have been sold. The
inevitable film now arrives, with huge expectations, and it’s easy to see what all of the fuss is
about. The literary phenomenon has now become a massive film success.
Twilight is the story of Bella (Kristen Stewart), a 17-year-old girl who relocates to a tiny town in
Washington to live with her father, the local Chief of Police (Billy Burke). She is given a warm
reception by a friendly new school, but soon becomes attracted to a mysterious classmate named
Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). Edward’s family is equally strange: all adopted, all startlingly
good-looking, if a little pale of face.
It’s not giving anything away to say that Edward’s family is a clan of vampires: and there are
inherent dangers for Bella if she follows a relationship with him, not least the fact that she herself
may become one of them should the inevitable happen with her new love.
Director Catherine Hardwicke previously explored troubled teens in her breakout film Thirteen and
here she shows why she was an excellent choice for the job. The subtext is the forbidden, being an
outsider and burgeoning teenage sexuality and Hardwicke brings a sensitive and evocative touch
to all of it. There will of course be ardent fans of the books who will complain about what was left
out or given short shrift, an inevitable result of translating a much-loved 600-page novel to the
screen, but it feels like a successful transition to someone who is coming to it for the first time.
Another reason for the film’s success is its choice of lead actors: as BellaKristen Stewart comes of
age, having played the child role in many Hollywood films up to now. Her awkwardness in the face
of her emotions for Edward is well-judged. Another career is launched in the shape ofRobert
Pattinson, a young English actor who has the necessary looks to make teenage girls around the
world swoon, but with the added bonus that he can act. With a $70 million opening weekend in the
US, a new franchise is born.
