Some people have complained about this year's collection,
New Writing
3,
although I cannot understand why. Surely 500 pages of original writing of this
quality, for £6.99, is pretty amazing?
Fiction - both parts of novels and complete short stories - makes up most of
the book. There are some enjoyable pieces by famous writers, such as Candia
McWilliam and Rose Tremain. It's a strange fact that the less well-known people
seem to have written mainly about food. Take my advice about Jane Harris's
Those Nails
- this piece should definitely not be read just after meals. It contains
some very unpleasant scenes which could turn your stomach!
There is fine work from ninet.een poets, including R.S. Thomas and John
Burnside. There are pieces from novels-in-progress by Jim Crace and Jane
Rogers. Finally, there is a little non-fiction, which includes a very funny article by
Alan Rusbridger on certain newspapers, and an extraordinary piece about herself
from Ursula Owen. This is an exceptional collection and I for one can't wait to see
what next year's choice will include.

The film
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
is based on the first of
the· books by J.K. Rowling. It is an excellent attempt at re-creating the magic of
the books. The dialogue is just (46)_____________the original, with the actors
often using the exact words as they were written. The characters all look very
(47)___________and they are dressed in the sort of costumes you imagine when
you read the book. Only the. soundtrack is truly (48)____________because, of
course, there isn't any music in the book.
The scene where the children are learning to (49)___________their
broomsticks has some amazing special effects which create a wonderful magical
