Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

Before Stephenie Meyer bounded onto the scene with her amazing Twilight saga, full of cold vampires, who sparkle in the sun, dazzle when they speak, and started the houses divided (Team Edward/Team Jacob), there was J.K Rowling with her amazing make believe world,in which I admittedly loved to escape.
The Harry Potter books. Call me a child if you will, but I do like children’s books, as well as anything else that I find interesting to read. My imagination is my favorite attribute, and I’d be lost without it.
Though, when I heard they were making the books into movies, I cringed. So many movies, based on books..no wait..scratch that, I have yet to see a movie, when actually compared to the book, that matched up to the precedence I had set for it in my mind.
So, I knew I had to be mature. I had to see them as two separate entities, because none of our imaginations are exactly alike. My brain doesn’t process and interpret the books, the same way yours would.
So, I see the books as one entity, the movies as another and it works out quite well.
So, the first movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, the second movie, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and the third movie,Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban I LOVED, because of Chris Columbus. Seriously, he’s amazing. Check him out on his IMDB page.
The rest were, in a word, MEH. I mean, I have appreciation of them.
I own them. They just didn’t wow me. Now, this newest movie?
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, I am stoked to see. The trailers look AH-MAY-ZING, and quite frankly, they’ve been through the ringer trying to get it filmed. So, I’d go see it, even if it sucked wind..hard.
Poor Ron, (Rupert Grint), even wound up with Swine flu, at some point, but we are happy to report, that he is on the mend. We wish him a speedy recovery.
By the looks of the trailer though, I’ll actually enjoy sitting through this movie:

My plans tomorrow? I’ll be at the theater.
