Image courtesy the author The Time Box by Leon Capetanos Reading and Signing December 1st, 7-9 PM Meet the author and join us for a reading and signing of The Time Box by Leon Capetanos read by CAM Middle School Docents. The author is a film director and screenwriter whose writing credits include Tempest, Moscow on The Hudson, Fletch Lives and Down and Out in Beverly Hills. He grew up in Raleigh and graduated from UNC Chapel Hill. This is his first novel. “In 12-year-old Tommy Johnson, Capetanos has achieved something remarkable. In this age of irony, he’s given us a protagonist utterly lacking in cynicism. But as Tommy will learn in the course of a few short months, when you open yourself up fully to the world, you risk experiencing the pain that world can, when you least expect it, deal out in return. You may wince at times, sensing what awaits him. But you will also be reminded what it is to be truly alive.” – Steve Kloves, director of The Fabulous Baker Boys and Flesh And Bone; screenwriter of Wonder Boys, Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets, and Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban and four other screenplays in the Harry Potter series. FREE TO THE PUBLIC Seating is limited. Hardcover books are $25.

Harry Potter Adapted an Analysis on Ron, Hermione and Ginny and Their Adapted Counterparts
University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English Harry Potter Adapted An Analysis on Ron, Hermione and Ginny and Their Adapted Counterparts B.A. Essay Birta Rós Sigurðardóttir Kt.: 060396-3459 Supervisor: Valgerður Guðrún Bjarkadóttir May 2021 Abstract This thesis attempts to analyze three characters from Harry Potter as they were adapted from novel to film. After the novels success they were subsequently adapted into films. There are noticeable differences both in the narrative as well as in the characters themselves as the medium of the story was changed. The story became more visual in the films and there was a time limit which means some elements in the story have to be cut or changed to fit this new format. That changes the way some characters were portrayed and their core elements were altered due to the story now becoming more visual. Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley are all notable characters that were altered for the adaptation. There are a multitude of reasons as to why they were changed and how they were portrayed. There was favoritism involved and other people were now involved with the story, it was not just one author anymore. This all combined with the fact that the films were a Hollywood production means that the characters change to confirm to that format. From the distant love interest, the perfect know-it-all and the goofy, stupid best friend, these characters were not as they read in the novels. 1 Table of Contents 1 Introduction .................................................................................................................. 4 2 Adapting in Theory ...................................................................................................... 5 3 Ron Weasley ................................................................................................................

All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled The New Collaborative Cinema: Fan Labor in Contemporary Film Franchises by NATALLIA YELOSHYNA has been approved for the Film Division and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Associate Professor of Film Matthew R. Shaftel Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract YELOSHYNA, NATALLIA, M.A., April 2021, Film Studies The New Collaborative Cinema: Fan Labor in Contemporary Film Franchises Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This paper reviews recent attempts of contemporary media franchises to include fan labor in the development of commercial entertainment cinema. By examining Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Fifty Shades and the Wizarding World franchises, I argue that socially and historically unique characteristics of contemporary Western culture allow contemporary franchises to encourage and reinforce audience involvement into franchise development. In particular, the Fantastic Beasts film series resets hierarchical relationships between the creators of J.K. Rowling’s franchise and the imput of its fans. This makes the film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald the most progressive example of a producer-consumer relationship in contemporary cinema. This paper provides an overview of strategies of producer-consumer communication in fantasy film franchises that can help film theorists to better understand the specifics of the contemporary media environment and filmmakers to avoid mistakes in communications with their fans.
