A Day Out At The Movies

By Nathalie DeJesus and Natalie Rivera

From issue 3 winter 2006

In November, the Journalism Academy had a great day out. The entire academy went to see the latest Harry Potter movie at a Brooklyn movie theater. Personally, I was excited. I only see the movies because I think the books are too long! Some of the books are 300-to-600 pages long. I also like to see the movies because it’s so cool how they make all the magical scenes happen on the big screen. The scenes look so real!

Melina Roman was just one of the many students who went on the trip. Melina, a sixth grade student of the Science and Technology Academy, said “The movie was amazing and kept me on the edge of my seat.” Melina has seen all the movies and read a few of the books. Ms. Rodden, a Journalism Academy teacher who also went on the trip, enjoyed the movie too. She said, “It had a lot of great special effects, especially the dragons.” The movie was great! Even though the book was great, too, the movie was even better because the book doesn’t show you what all of the characters say and do.

When watching the movie you don’t have to flip pages, all you have to do is sit back and watch the movie. Whether you’re reading the book or watching the movie you can still laugh or cry with Harry and the rest of the gang.
