wondered over? Well‚ that’s where Rowling falls back on a few too-worn literary devices‚ and where she loses one of her stars. I found this book to be far too full of easy short cuts and simplistic cliches to give it five stars. Far too many times‚ Harry and his friends were "mysteriously" saved at the last minute. And the real answers to these so-called mysteries will fall much more easily into the hands of die-hard Potter fanatics who’ve spent hours studying the books and pouring over the fan sites

Harry Thurston’s “Miracle” is a simple and sweet poem‚ which displays the usage of an extended metaphor. As the speaker is in the process of explaining to his daughter as to why she should not pick the blossom and allow it to grow‚ he soon regrets telling her to stop.
