Harry Potter!!

So last night, Julius, Bailey, Katie, and myself went to see the highly anticipated Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. WOW! It was amazing! Thankfully, the Harry Potter movies stay true to the novels by J.K. Rowling.

The characters are older in the movie and for the first time, Lavender Brown appears. Luna Lovegood is....well, she's Luna! I loved her though! And Hermione is exceptionally good in this one. It's funnny to see them all grown up.

If you've read the books, then you know how this one ends.... It's just as bad watching it in the movie as it was reading it in the book. Sad. (Obviously I don't want to say more in case the non Harry Potter readers see this.)

The movie grossed $22 million at the midnight showing only (which is more than any other midnight showing to date)! Umm.. hells yeah! The movie is a little long--but 1) how can you sum up 700+ pages in less that 2 1/2 hours; 2) who cares how long it is when you're enthralled in the world of Harry Potter!

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was superb, and I can't wait for the two-part finale!!
