Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I

2011-05-10T22:58:00.001+07:00

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I is a brooding, slower-paced film than its predecessors, the result of being just one half of the final story (the last book in the series was split into two movies, released in theaters eight months apart). Because the penultimate film is all buildup before the final showdown between the teen wizard and the evil Voldemort (which does not occur until The Deathly Hallows, Part II), Part I is a road-trip movie, a heist film, a lot of exposition, and more weight on its three young leads, who up until now were sufficiently supported by a revolving door of British thesps throughout the series. Now that all the action takes place outside Hogwarts--no more Potions classes, Gryffindor scarves, or Quidditch matches--Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Emma Watson (Hermione), and Rupert Grint (Ron)
shoulder the film almost entirely on their own. After a near-fatal ambush by Voldemort's Death Eaters, the three embark on a quest to find and destroy the remaining five horcruxes (objects that store pieces of Voldemort's soul). Fortunately, as the story gets more grave--and parents should be warned, there are some scenes too frightening or adult for young children--so does the intensity. David Yates, who directed the Harry Potter films Order of the Phoenix and The Half-Blood Prince, drags the second half a little, but right along with some of the slower moments are some touching surprises (Harry leading Hermione in a dance, the return of Dobby in a totally non-annoying way).
Deathly Hallows, Part I will be the most confusing for those not familiar with the Potter lore, particularly in the shorthand way characters and terminology weave in and out. For the rest of us, though, watching these characters over the last decade and saying farewell to a few faces makes it all bittersweet that the end is near (indeed, an early scene in which Hermione casts a spell that makes her Muggle parents forget her existence, in case she doesn't return, is particularly emotional). Despite its challenges, Deathly Hallows, Part I succeeds in what it's most meant to do: whet your appetite for the grand conclusion to the Harry Potter series. --Ellen A. Kim

Coffee Reduce Prostate Cancer Risk

Along with the increasing age of a man, prostate, initially well behaved can slowly turn into misery because of the carrier gland becomes easily infected and affected by the disease, including cancer.

Even so, many experts believe we can reduce the chances and minimize the risk of the disease through changes in diet and lifestyle.

Experts from Harvard Medical School in his presentation at the conference of American Association for Cancer Research in Houston, U.S., says that men who regularly drank coffee prostate cancer risk was reduced by 60 percent when compared with men who do not drink coffee.

Though the experts said it still too early to recommend the men to start drinking coffee, the study results are convincing.

"Lifestyle factors have been shown to consistently associated with prostate cancer risk, and therefore a great relief when the results of this study is strengthened by other studies," said Kathryn M Wilson, Ph.D, from the Channing Laboratory, Harvard Medical School.

In his study, Wilson analyzes the information from the study results Health Professionals Follow-Up Study involving more than 50,000 male coffee drinkers started from 1986 until 2006. During the study period, 4975 men experience prostate cancer.

Based on the study analysis, known to men who consumed a lot of coffee (more than six cups per day) had a 59 percent lower risk of prostate cancer compared with aggressive or fatal nonpeminum coffee.

However, researchers of this study emphasize that caffeine is beneficial not only for prevention of prostate cancer. The study also found men who drank decaffeinated coffee also had a lower risk.

According to Wilson, coffee contains many important components, such as antioxidants and minerals that may play an important role to prevent prostate cancer. "Coffee has an effect on insulin and glucose metabolism plays an important role in prostate cancer," he said.
