The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising


IMDb: A boy's life is turned upside down when he learns that he is the last of a group of immortal warriors who have dedicated their lives to fighting the forces of the dark.

A movie based on Susan Cooper's novel about a boy who thought he was just like everybody else. Watching it was like seeing Harry Potter in a different actor and movie set. Harry learned about who he is as the-boy-who-lived at eleven, Will discovered his being the seventh son of the seventh son at fourteen. Harry's mortal enemy was Lord Voldemort while Will's was The Rider which were both referred to as the Dark Lord. Harry had Dumbledore and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix to help him fight the Dark Lord, Will had the Old Ones. Harry had to hunt for horcruxes to which he was the last one while Will had to seek the signs, he was also the last sign. Both had a weakness for family and friends, can go back in time [pensieve for Harry], have powers they discovered along the way and both came out victorious in the end. It's still a must see 'coz I think young Alexander Ludwig is hot.

By the way, J.K. Rowling said Dumbledore is gay. He was in-love with Gellert Grindelwald. No wonder his love life wasn't mentioned all throughout the series. A big shout-out to the gay community for having the greatest wizard on their side!
