Another summer, another Harry Potter movie! I don't get out to the movies much, but I do want to see this one. I like the books. I've read them all, a couple of times. I find them entertaining, satisfying, and most important, really easy to read. I reread the entire series during both babies early days -- those dark, no-sleep, "Oh my God, I thought this kind of sleep deprivation kills people, but somehow, I am still alive. Or am I" days. The seven books were great because even at my worst, I still needed something to read, and Harry Potter really doesn't require much in the area of concentration. I

The movies, on the other hand, I have not enjoyed so much. I've tried watching all of them, and I either get bored halfway through, or I fall asleep. I am still hopeful when a new movie -- yet another movie -- in the series comes out, and the Half-Blood Prince is no different. I don't have high hopes, and I don't expect to enjoy it nearly as much I enjoyed reading this laugh-out loud funny review of it: http://www.calgaryherald.com/entertainment/movie-guide/Review+Harry+Potter+Half+Blood+Prince+injects+love+into+magic/1789585/story.html

I haven't gone to see it yet. I'm just getting around to reading the series now. Too bad we can't go together. Perhaps we should set a date for the Deathly Hallows (Parts 1 and 2)...
