Just Pottering around ...

Harry-Potter-And-The-Half-Blood-Prince-Trailer

I guess this isn't news at all to you Harry Potter fans out there but .... (drum roll ....) today is the release of the much anticipated ... HARRY POTTER and THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE!!!   I believe that this is the last book in the much-loved series so I can imagine that for all the die-hard Potters fans this is BIG and the excitement has certainly been building around our house all summer.  Admittedly, Mike & I are not exactly what you would call Harry Potter fans as neither of us has ever read any of the books but we have seen several of the movies, however ...

Katy is one of Harry's Biggest Fans,  in fact, both her and Jessica are BIG BIG BIG BIG FANS!!!   Katy has spent the whole summer re-reading every book in the series of  Potter books getting ready for this movies release.  She asked Mike & I if we wanted to go see it with her so we went online Monday to Fandango and pre-bought tickets for today at 7pm.  All the movie theaters around us are pre-selling tickets for days out - I have heard good things about this movie but good or bad ... I think it is going to make a TON of Galleon.

So tonight we will grab our Butter-Beer & Popcorn and settle in along with all the other muggles to see where Harry & the Gang lead us now ....

Have a great day

Smile

I am a big fan and as a big fan I have to correct you. This is not the last book. There are seven books in total and the last book is:
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"

Yes Ben is finally hooked. Last summer I started to read him the 1st chapter of the first book. He was 10 then and he told me he didn't want to start reading them until he was 12, but after the 1st chapter he asked if I was reading the Harry Potter book and he grabbed it and off he went. Now he just told me a day or two ago he can't see the new movie because he hasn't read the 6th book and I said well I saw it on your sisters shelf and he has been reading it like mad so he can go see the movie !

So how was the movie ???

BTW - there is one more book, but there will be 2 more movies! They decided that they would be better off splitting the last book into 2 movies. Of course, it's because there's just so much in the last book, not because they want to stretch the franchise out a little further...

    Rule # 3 - run don't walk to see this movie ... True, it is full of fake-blood, fake guts and fake-zombies. But the laughs are real and really, there isn't a NON-FUNNY scene in this movie.
  • - Surrogates -
    Think, 'I Robot' meets 'Terminator' and then bumps into 'The Matrix'. If you love Sci-fi or Bruce Willis - you'll probably enjoy this movie.
  • - Pandorum -
    An easy way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Sci-fi at it's mediocre best ...
