Welcome to my
Web Page!

Hi! My name is Helen Anthony.
My interests include writing, drawing, watching TV and going to the cinema.
My fave films include lord of the rings (the fellowship of the ring), Monsters inc. and Harry Potter.
My top five series of books are:

  • 1 Lord of the rings
  • 2 The chronicles of Narnia
  • 3 Harry potter (so far)
  • 4 Tamora Pierce's Wild magic series
  • 5 Buffy the Vampire slayer

The Lord of the rings

I love the lord of the rings. I think the best characters are Legolas (an elf), Pippin (a hobbit) and Aragorn (a man). In the film they are played by (in this order): Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd and Viggo Mortensen.
I wish I had Tolkien's imagination.

Harry Potter

The Harry potter books are also very good but sadly not as good as the books by J.R.R Tolkien. I feel they lack the complexity of the Lord of the rings, which are more for adults really than children. I feel that the film, Harry potter and the philosopher's stone really demean the books. The special effects are great especially of the quidditch match but the acting is not so great.

Fave extracts from books

Lord of the rings
  • "Hallo!" said Pippin. "Who are you, and what do you want?" "I am called Strider," he answered: "and though he may have forgotten it, your friend promised to have a quiet talk with me."
    "You said I might hear something to my advantage, I believe," said Frodo. "What have you to say?"
    "Several things," answered Strider. "But, of course, I have my price." "What do you mean?" asked frodo sharply.
    "Don't be alarmed! I mean just this: I will tell you what I know, and give you some good advice - but I shall want a reward."

The Fellowship of the Ring Book 1 - Chapter 10 - Strider

He then pointed out and named those whom Frodo had not met before. There was a younger dwarf at GlÓin's side: his son Gimli. Beside Glorfindel there were several other counsellors of Elrond's household, of whom Erestor was the chief; and with him was Galdor, an Elf from the Grey Havens who had come on an errand from Círdan the shipwright. There was also a strange Elf clad in green and brown, Legolas, a messenger from his father, Thranduil, the King of the Elves of Northern Mirkwood. And seated a little apart was a tall man with a fair and noble face, dark- haired and grey- eyed, proud and stern and glance.
He was cloaked and booted as if for a journey on horseback; and indeed though his garments were rich, and his cloak was lined with fur, they were stained with long travel. He had a collar of silver in which a single white stone was set; his locks were shorn about the shoulders. On a baldric he wore a great horn tipped with silver that now was laid upon his knees. He gazed at Frodo and Bilbo with sudden wonder.
"Here," said Elrond, turning to Gandalf, "is Boromir, a man from the South. He arrived in the grey morning, and seeks for counsel. I have bidden him to be present, for here his questions will be answered."
