Plot: In Harry´s 12th Birthday the Dursley were so selfish that everything Harry wanted is to come back to the Hogwarts School of Witchcratf and Wizardry. But in the time he's ready to go, a strange creature called Dobby came to give bad news and warns Harry can't go back because of a catastrophe.
And it really happens. He's got to stand by the arrogant teacher Lockhart, avoid Corin, ignore Gina Weasley and Moaning Myrtle's chush for him and so on. But the most horrible thing is the petrification of Muggle-born students. Who's causing this? Is it Draco Malfoy, more dangerous than ever? Maybe Hagrid, making clear it's misterious past attacking Muggles with a giant spider? Or the person attacking and causing fear, panic and pain in the school is the principal suspect of everyone... Harry Potter himself? How is he and his best friends going to discovery and finish this menace that scares all Hogwarts?

Based on JK rowling's novel this film is really fantastic and helps you to realze that every family has the same wealth: the love between it's members. No family is better than another and everyone deserves to live and be happy. We have to understand that we cannot suspect from faithful friends, too.
We can all se that it took a long time to do this movie. Most of the special effects are lights and bolts coming from wands. The flying can should have taken a long and annoying part of the work. Its was interesting to know about the production, made by the same directors and Richard Francis-Bruce. John Seale had to work with the photography, helped by Chris Columbus and Duncan Henderson. No one known how did they make the car "fly".
Soon Duncan had the idea of creating stunning creatures, ghosts and persons, like Dobby, Almost Headless Nick, the Moaning Myrtle, Aragog, the basilisk and even Hagrid. Yes, it was hard, to not say it took MONTHS, annoying and frustrating months working. But now the film has finished, aii those characters are the greatest part of the Harry Potter saga.
All Harry Potter films can be compared to this one, but it turned out great. Harry Potter looks a lot like Eragon or Percy Jackson sagas. Every fantasy novel has a little piece of Harry Potter on it.
Hope you enjoy the movie!!!

Welcome to Belo Horizonte

At first in the blog, we'd like you to see our city. It's not as known as Paris, Londres or Ontario, but for us it's the most wonderful city.
It's a long way to arrive here (I hope you have slept well), but there are many things you should see. Minas Gerais is about 3000 feet over the sea level. Many roads like BR-040 lead to the town. Be warned, it's very big, you might get lost there if you don't have a guide or map. Here is a map from the town.
There are many interesting things in Belo Horizonte, that makes the city a good place for you to travel in the holiday and vacations.
Personally, I think if you want to know the whole city you're going to take an eternity. The best places to visit are Pampulha, Praça do Papa and Mineirao. This photo shows Praça da Liberdade, a well-known place in BH, near Palácio das Artes. I hope you like it.

If you are looking for a place to stay, you should visit Hotel Mercury. Trust me, it's the best hotel you can find here.


If you are looking for a place where you can eat, I suggest you Macau. Fish and rice here are the best food you can find (that's a little odd, because we have no sea in BH). Every shopping here has a good restaurant.
Now if you want to go shopping, you went to the right place! The best shoppings here are BH, Diamond, Patio Savassi and Woods. When you feel like buying food, the best place you can go is Carrefour. Electrodomestics are on sale at Casas Bahia and Ricardo Eletro shops.

The language here is Portuguese. It may look hard to learn, it might even take years, but you can always find a Portuguese teacher or a dictionary. The best dictionaries are Oxford, Collins and Michaelis, but the best overall is Longman.

I hope you have a nice trip!
