Gryffindor explained. Culture editor "Harry Potter transcends every age," explained Erica, a recent graduate who confesses to have written all of her college papers on Harry Potter. She attended the movie as part of a Quidditch team composed entirely of cousins and sisters. "Every experience they have still reflects our experiences. It brings people together once you find someone who loves Harry Potter, there's an instant connection. It's like coming home." Despite its PG rating, the movie is not child's play. Now in their sixth year at the magical school of Hog warts, Harry and his cohorts are faced with major decisions about careers, education and responsibility. To complicate it all, humorous romantic subplots provide ample distraction. It's not a stretch to say that college students will relate to the story as well as, or better than, their junior high siblings. Whether it's escapism, love of the characters, personally relating to the story or just plain having fun, taking a break from a world of math tests and part-time jobs is a simple pleasure. As Quidditch captain/student Adam said, "It's all about the experience." Annual Folkfest brings the world to Springville lLORAINE GHOLDSTON Culture writer On July 28, the World Folkfest begins again and the turnout this summer is anticipated to be stronger than it has been for the past five years. Because of airline and other travel restrictions and increasing costs since the tragedy of 9-11, the Folkfest has had issues with drawing the international community. This year, however, the response has been much more positive. Groups representing more countries will be holding performance s, including professionals from Hungary, Mexico, Korea, Belgium and Nepal. Adding to the experience are vendors offering ethnic foods, clothing and jewelry. The energetic, colorful performances draw both amateur and professional photographers, as well as couples on dates and families on outings. World Folkfest organizers who have been involved with the project since 1986 are excited for this year's event. They have watched the fest grow'from its humble beginnings on a plywood stage on a baseball diamond to one of the largest festivals in the country highlighting international folk music and dance. Board members as well as volunteers have been instrumental in its success, and they hope that with the support of the community, the World Folkfest will grace the stages of the Springville Arts Park for years to come.
