Which character from Harry Potter would you be and why?
“I would be Dobby, house elf of Malfoy, because he saves Harry Potter all-day everyday!” Herschel Patel, sophomore biomedical sciences major
“Hermione because she is the brains behind Harry.” Krupa Amin, sophomore accounting major
“Professor Dumbledore, because he has his pet phoenix that he can disappear with.” Jane Yi, senior nutrition major
Osa Okundaye — THE BATTALION
“Hermione, I love reading and always like to be one up on my studies just like her!” Lauren Taylor, senior nutrition major Compiled by Jay Kapadia
Expecto- magnificus Jared Baxter: Harry Potter ends on magical note
T
he boy who lived … come to finish a decadespanning franchise. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 picks up right after the stage setter part 1 and blazes to a finale worthy of the series’ intense loyal following. Potter and the seventh-year gang are out to destroy the remaining soulcontaining horcruxes, Voldemort wields the all-powerful Elder Wand and the ambiguous Severus Snape is headmaster of Hogwarts, a school that now has more
Death Eaters and Dementors walking its grounds than students. Bodies drop left and right, sacrifices
are made and everything hinges on an epic battle royal to determine the fate of the wizardry world. What has—and always will be—the heart and appeal of the series is the undying friendship of Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Rupert Grint (Ron) and Emma Watson (Hermione). These actors have spent roughly half of their lives playing three of the most beloved fictional characters of modern time, and none of them disappoint here. Radcliffe’s performance contains all of the weight, burden, bravery and acceptance of his role as both leader and savior. The boy who has lost so much, witnessed so many loved ones die, is
now a man who must face the Dark Lord and his destiny. Ron and Hermione—now officially a hands-holding, kissing item—are committed as ever to Harry and his quest to vanquish Voldemort, played by Ralph Fiennes, who in his own slithery way, is just begging to be defeated after years of cheating death. As the shortest and most rapidpaced actioner of the series, it’s a testament to director David Yates that longtime favorites each take the stage for one last hoorah. No sorcerer’s stone feels left unturned as Hagrid, Professor McGonagall, the Weasley family and a wizard’s row of characters make appearances. See Review on page 2

◗ Be creative and decorate your wand to your preferred style. You can try using brown spray paint, gold glitter or even Fightin’-Texas-Aggie maroon-colored markers. But please, do not attempt to cast spells on your professor. Even magic can’t save you then.

Matthew Lewis’ Neville Longbottom stands out among the talented British supporting cast with his turn from comical goof to Hogwarts hero. And who could possibly forget Alan Rickman as Snape? His voice is unmistakable, and those seeking answers for his motivations will be pleased to see all is revealed. Adopting a “go big, or go home� mentality, this all-out finale pulls off the most spectacular special effects sequences in the series to date. And though you might enjoy wearing 3-D glasses shaped much like Mr. Potter’s own, the conversion feels unnecessary with only a fire-breathing dragon really popping out. This is Part 2 for a reason—it’s the culmination of not only the previous installment but of six of other films as well. And as such, it doesn’t

Three coordinated bombings tore through the heart of India’s busy ďŹ nancial capital during rush hour Wednesday, killing 21 people and wounding 141 in the worst terror attack in the country since the 2008 Mumbai siege. Bloody bodies were strewn in the dirt of Mumbai’s crowded neighborhoods and markets. Doors were ripped off storefronts, motorcycles were charred and a bus stop was shredded. After the blasts in three separate neighborhoods, police set up checkpoints and were put on high alert. The bombings came just months after peace talks resumed between India and Pakistan, which New Delhi has blamed for past attacks. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh condemned the blasts and appealed to the people of Mumbai “to remain calm and show a united face.â€? There was no immediate claim of responsibility, and Indian ofďŹ cials refused to speculate on who might be behind the blasts. Indian ofďŹ cials have accused Pakistan’s powerful spy agency of helping coordinate and fund earlier attacks, including the Mumbai siege, which killed 166 people over three days.
U.S. players celebrate their 3-1 win of the semifinal match against France at the Women’s Soccer World Cup. Abby Wambach sure knows how to deliver. A goal, a promise and soon, she hopes, a World Cup title. The U.S. women had fans on edge once again until Wambach broke a tense tie with her header off a corner kick in the 79th minute Wednesday. Next up, a trip to the World Cup ďŹ nal Sunday in Frankfurt that will be the ďŹ rst for Americans since 1999, when they last won it all. They’ll play Japan, which upset Sweden 3-1 to move one step away from realizing its own dream. Associated Press
