Still Waiting On My Hogwarts Letter
I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone on a flight and refused to return to the muggle world. I was the same age as Harry, Ron, and Hermione when the first book came out. With every page, I was transported to this beautiful school. I was bullied by Professor Snape, received guidance from Professor McGonagall, quarreled with Draco, and won my first quidditch match. I faced a three-headed dog, rode a broom amongst animated keys, won a life-size game of Wizard’s Chest, and came face-to-face with the world’s most feared wizard. I experienced friendship, cast spells, and felt the pang of sadness when the year was over. At the age of eleven, this was the most fantastic adventure I had taken, and I repeated this adventure repeatedly. As the following years unfurled, the experience continued to seduce me and holds me completely smitten to this day.
"Cursed" is a story for the Colonised
Fae legends have frequently been coded as colonised and oppressed peoples. Perhaps the most famous one of our modern age is JKR's portrayal of goblins—small, large nosed, greedy bankers who care nothing for the rest of the world. Anyone with the slightest understanding of Jewish stereotypes understands the allusion. The orcs in Lord of the Rings are an older stereotype of the 'barbaric' Mongols. The folklore of changelings is now attributed to autistic children. In each case, the Fae are to be reviled, a warning of the evils that the Other could do to the Self.

The Monkey King——My favorite movie How many movies do we watch in our life? I haven't counted it, but it's obvious that this figure must not be too small. We have seen so many movies, I believe that in everyone's heart, there will be a movie that we think is the most perfect and favorite. No matter how many times you watch it, you still want to take it out again for some time. I also have such a film in my heart that can not be surpassed. Its story is not novel, everyone can recite its plot; Its production is not high-end. It is drawn by countless painters one by one. But it still attracts me so much, probably because it contains strong Chinese national characteristics.

If you have been watching American Horror Story (FX), you will know this season is called "Red Tide" and is about Vampirism. Is Vampirism real? There are few cases of Vampirism in which they don't bite people but drain their blood into a syringe and pour it into a glass and drink it either as tea or wine. So red wine tastes like blood? Of course, but for American Horror Story, it takes it into another twist.
