Minecraft is a game where the player uses their imagination to shape the world around them using the resources they find. In the world everything is shaped like a block or a cube, this includes the trees, the dirt, the water, the clouds, even the sun, everything. This simple game hasn’t even been released yet but has already sold over one million copies. Minecraft was created by one man, Markus “Notch” Persson, and this is his story. What makes the story of Minecraft so unique is that it was created by Notch and only Notch. Notch had a job before Minecraft, working on games for a company.

The game sells around 10,000 copies per day. It has become a cultural phenomenon and on January 12, 2011 sales passed the one million mark, but they continued to rise. With popularity increasing, big name comics like “Penny Arcade” and “Hejibits” discovered the game too and published comic strips about minecraft, leading to even further sales. Minecraft makes $250,000 a day and  continues to do so. On June 13, 2011, Minecraft passed 2.5 million sales. Today Mojang has 10 employees. Markus Persson, Jens Bergensten, Daniel Kaplan, Junkboy, Jakob Porser, Carl Manneh, Tobias Mollstam, Aron Neiminen, Daniel Frisk, and Daniel Rosenfeld. These few people make up the team that continues to work towards Minecraft’s future. But with so few employees things take time. Even though the game has not been officially released, people who buy the game get a copy of what it is right now as the updates are being pushed out. With such success Mojang is the target of some heavy criticism from blogs, critics, and even their own fans. One speculation from fans is that Minecraft will be the company’s 1 hit wonder. What happens if it truly is a one hit wonder? Will the company go down under?

ответ:Seven years ago I watched "The Philosophers` Stone" for the first time, and with this, my acquaintance with the world behind Platform 9 and 3/4 began. Later I saw "The Secret Chamber" and other films of legendary Harry Potter series.

The story of Harry Potter has always been special to me. I can say I grew up with it. Thanks to it I learned a lot. I began to read books in Russian and then also in English. This story was like a guiding star for me. Harry, Ron and Hermione from my favourite book became my childhood friends …

"The Deathly Hallows" is the finale of Joanne Rowling’s fantasy story, and this book is also one of the saddest ones; there are many deaths, murders and a lot of gloom in it. Almost no friends are left. Some were carried away by death, some appeared to be traitors. And really "dark times have come" for the Magic world: the Ministry of Magic has fallen, Albus Dumbledore is dead … Mudbloods and those who protect them are hunted down. Everyone is to choose between Good and Evil. It seems that everything is over. But, even during the darkest times, it is possible to see a miracle, which became the friendship between Ron, Harry and Hermione. Even this last and the most terrible fight couldn’t break it.

All the admirers of this saga, and I am not an exception, waited for the release of this movie with impatience. Before going to the cinema I once again read the book in two foreign languages for me - Russian and English - not to miss or misunderstand anything in the film.
