Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Things are a-brewing at Hogwarts and we've all been waiting for the sixth film in Rowling's tales of young wizarding, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. The poster promises that "dark secrets (will be) revealed" and we do find out who is "crushing" on whom among the young wizards, and some revealing information about Voldemort as a young man, as well as one not-so-likeable professor's real allegiance. (No surprises here if you've read the books). I throughly enjoyed this HP, as I did with the previous films. Take the family, or wait for the DVD, but definitely worth watching. I hear that the final Harry Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", a mere 759 pages, will be made into two films. Filming is scheduled to start this fall, with releases due out July 2011 and December 2011, respectively.

Check it out...You can read or listen to all of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series at the Nesmith Library and the first five films are available on DVD to borrow. Other related titles available at the the Library are "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" (J ROW), "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" (J ROW), and "Quidditch Through the Ages" (J ROW), all by J. K. Rowling.
