One Girl's Childhood with Harry Potter

"Despite having known for years that the only thing at the back of a wardrobe is a wall and that no twig or pebble will ever be more than a twig or pebble, we all know that we can get to a magical universe simply by picking up our favorite books."

Fantastic! Beautifully written, and really captures the allure of the series for the children who grew up with it.

p.s. I'm still waiting for my surely long delayed Hogwarts letter....

Hi,
I like this article but..
last night i went to the midnight premiere of harry potter and the half blood prince! I was honestly so disappointed! was it just me or did it seem very choppy and for some reason didn't feel like it was a harry potter movie. Don't get me wrong some of the parts in it were either really funny or somewhat scary but i really was not satisfied. I don't know, what did you think?? Am i wrong? Give me your opinions..
