Related Work by the On-Screen Harry Potter

Hello everyone. I too am still planning out my first post on books 1 and 2 (and am also still finishing the books - I'm just about to go have the secrets of the Chamber of that name revealed to me - can't wait!), but for the moment I write simply and solely to direct the attention of fans of the Harry Potter movies, and Daniel Radcliffe's performance therein, to this film, My Boy Jack, a British TV drama about Rudyard Kipling and his son John, who was killed in World War I. Radcliffe is perfectly cast and does fine work, as do his co-stars (including Sex and the City's Kim Cattrall, who herself comes close to stealing the film). Well worth watching - and, in its themes of family, loss, and choice, duty, and responsibility during a dark time, not altogether irrelevant to the concerns of the books that have inspired Radcliffe's more prominent work. Okay, just wanted to put in a quick plug for that. I'll check back in again tomorrow with some thoughts on the first two books, in advance of our meeting. Looking forward to it!
