  Movie magic can defy reality, but actors are inescapably human.They grow and change, and don't necessarily change for the better.

  Harry Potter actors, who are now saying their final goodbyes to their roles, have all become fully-fledged(成熟的)grown-ups, worlds apart from the little kids who began the Hogwarts' adventures in 2001.

  While many fans feel sad that the magical franhise is coming to an end, some feel even sadder to dee how much the actors have changed over the years.

  "Daniel Radciffe(who plays Harry Potter)went from being a really cute kid to a thin, pale-looking guy,"daid Filipino internet User Lealuvy."I kind of wish he stayed a kid forever."

  Radcliffe himself doesn't seem to be bothered by his change of appearance.In an interview with GQ magazine last week, he teased himself:"If people find me sexy or cool, it's because they like short, little, nerdy guys.And we do have our niche(合适的职业)."

  Meanwhile, actors growing up to be handsome have their headaches.

  Harry Melling, who played Potter's cousin Dudley Dursley, told The Telegraph that he was almost recast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when producers discovered he' d lost a lot of weight he had as a kid.He was too thin for the part.

  "They(the producers)did this double take, 'Oh my God, we are going to have to do something', and I felt guilty," said Meiling.

  Aside from changes in looks, the gradual personality change of child stars is another big concern of audience and producers.

  Miley Cyrus began her career at 13 in Disney's hit TV series Hannah Montana.

  When Cyrus decided to show her adult personality by releasing "sexy" photos, people began to get uneasy about her.Reports said that furious Disney bosses were considering replacing Cyrus with a more clean-cut teen star.

  Cyrus finally kept her role after public apologies.But some parents banned their children watching the show.

  "My daughter has been banned from watching the show," supermodel Cindy Crawford told Showbiz Spy."I really don't think Miley Cyrus is much of a role model for my kid."

  The history of slavery is a very sad story. Beginning in 1619, the first slaves came to America from Africa. In the South, there were big tobacco and cotton plantation (种植园).

They did not get paid for their work. Some slave owners were very cruel.

  There were laws against slavery in the North. Many slaves ran away to the North. From 1861 to 1865 there was a Civil War between the North and the South. After the Civil War, all slaves became free. After the war there were still many problems for African-American people. They had no education. They could not vote. They earned very little money.

  The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean(海洋)so that the audiences(or people who watch the film)could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever.He sent his camera crew(摄制组)out one evening to film the sunset for him.

  The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”

  “No, sir.” the men answered.

  The director was angry.“Why not?” he asked.

  “Well, sir,” one of the men answered.“We’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west.We can get you a sunrise over the sea if necessary, but not a sunset.”

  “But I want a sunset!” the director shouted.“Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”
