Harry Potter

While I get geared up for writing about Alaska. I went to the Harry Potter movie on Saturday night.

I am a huge fan of Harry Potter. Author J.K. Rowling has created an entire 360-degree environment which, if you are in the right state of mind, allows you to suspend disbelief for hours at a time.

The actors who play the three main characters are aging twice (or maybe three times) as fast in real life as they are in the movies, so it is not clear whether they can all see the series through to the end.

In any event, the movie followed the book very well. The darkness of the plot was accurately reflected in the art direction, and Daniel Radcliffe is a very good young - not child - actor.

The movie has taken in upwards of $140 million since it opened on Wednesday, so many of you have already seen it.

Back to Alaska.

Rich,
How refreshing it must be to take the granddog for a jaunt around town and actually pick up his daily deposit in a town which is overrun with the same thing in behavioral form left by granddogs "best friends"
Thanks for the wit

I'm not sure what you mean, but I will fight to the Starbucks to protect your right to say it!

I believe all three main young actors are signed on for the remainder of the series. They may be a little older than the characters in the book, but I don't think it will be a big problem. After all, the "90210" gang was played by actors in their 20s and 30s. Guess I'm showing my age on that one.

I love Mullings - I've been reading it since I was a wide-eyed Staff Assistant on the Hill many many years ago!
