Finds of the Week 015: A Death Note And The Boy Who Lived
Read Time:6 Minute, 35 Second
There are many reasons we enjoy works of fiction, whether it’s books, anime, movies, TV shows, comics, or games. Sometimes we want to escape our normal lives and travel by train (or flying car) to a school filled with magic and mystery. Sometimes we enjoy sitcoms that reflect our day-to-day lives and feature characters we could imagine meeting in our real lives! Sometimes we want to immerse ourselves in tense psychological thrillers; sometimes we prefer games that pit our skills against world-class fighters in a range of exciting locations. And then there are the times we choose to visit the most crime-ridden city in the DC universe under the protection of the Dark Knight himself. This week, we’re bringing you finds from these many wonderful series and franchises. Let’s dive in.
Harry Potter: The Complete Box-Set by J.K. Rowling
A series that needs no introduction, Harry Potter has enthralled and enchanted children and adults alike over the past two decades. The story of The Boy Who Lived and his battle against evil played out over the course of seven books – seven years of watching Harry, Ron, Hermione, and their friends and family grow and sharing in their adventures, struggles, and triumphs. These books are the reason so many children dream of receiving a Hogwarts letter and why people travel from far and wide to visit Harry Potter theme parks. This is the place where it all began.

The Office (US): The Complete Series on Blu-ray
Based on the British series of the same name, The Office took the US by storm when it started in 2005.

There’s never a dull moment in the whole nine seasons. If you haven’t seen it yet, be prepared to laugh until you cry. And if it’s already one of your favorite shows, we have great news for you!

Death Note: The Complete Series (Standard Edition) on Blu-ray
“The human whose name is written in this note shall die.” Based on the manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, Death Note is easily one of the best anime of all time. It follows a genius high school student, Light Yagami, who, after finding a Death Note, gains the power to kill whomever he wants. With a warped moral compass, delusions of grandeur, and murderous arrogance, Light begins a crusade to rid the world of those he believes to be evil – and anyone who tries to get in his way. The result is a cat-and-mouse game between Light and the mysterious L, a world-class investigator who seems to be the only person who can put an end to Light’s relentless homicidal campaign.
