Hallows• Female Writer

(J.K.Rowling)• Racism and Cavity of

Pure Blood & Mud Blood (Half Blood)

E.g. Harry, Hermione, Veldemort

• Female Writer (Stephanie Meyer)

discover the frightening possibilities around you or refuse and stay safe in the comfortable world you know and perfectly the teenage feeling of sexual tension and alienation“- Stephanie Meyer (Twilight).
