Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

So, I saw the movie last week and it was pretty good. I would say that it was a nice companion to the book but the book was by far much better. I spoke to a few people who had not read the book and they were confused at times in the movie. We had quite a few copies of the book at the library, so come and read what you missed out on or just re-read the story for fun!

Harry comes out today!!!!

I am so excited to see the latest installment of the Harry Potter series - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I don't know quite how they are going to pull it off as the book is mainly about accessing memories. It should be interesting! Let me know what you think too!!!! Fact monster has a cool link for Harry....check it out: http://www.factmonster.com/spot/harrypage1.html
