]]> I’m a big Harry Potter fan. I’ve read all the books, and I’ve watched all the movies as they’ve come out. My son wanted to go see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince when it premiered, he heard some of the movie theaters had a midnight showing on Wednesday night. He was sure we needed to go to that midnight showing, but that didn’t seem like a good idea to me. We’ve had a busy week, but we did get to go see the movie this afternoon.

I thought the movie was very good. I always think the Harry Potter books are better than the movies (and this one was no exception), and the books definitely explain things more. I feel bad for people who have only seen the movies, because they’re missing so many of the great details that are in the books.

I love that quidditch was back in this movie. It hasn’t been in the last couple. There was also more humor in this movie, most of it was at Ron’s expense.

My son of course thought the movie was fabulous, and is ready to go see it again.

Have you had a chance to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince yet? What did you think?

You can check out the trailer at the official Warner Brothers Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince website.

]]> So, there’s just a few weeks left until the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. While they’re waiting for their copies to arrive, some kids are attending Harry Potter camps around the country. Our local children’s museum, The Boonshoft Museum of Discovery, is hosting their Harry Potter Camp this week (and one of our little friends is there! I can’t wait to hear all about it.).

It seems like these day camps are a fun way to encourage kids’ excitement over math and science in a fun and exciting environment. I remember attending a day camp as a kid that was focused on science and math type classes. They were fun, but I can’t imagine that they would compare in the slighest to seeing your favorite book series come to life to be able to participate in it! Okay, so there aren’t probably any actual Dementors showing up (whew!), but I still imagine it’s a great time!

This article here talks more about one of these camps from a couple of years back. It’s fun to hear about their struggles in playing a game of Quidditch. I imagine that would be tough!

Do you know anyone who has attended Harry Potter Camp? How was their experience?

]]> Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

The release date for the 7th and final volume in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling has been announced.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be available to the public on July 21, 2007. I guess this means I’d better hurry up and get volume 6 read!!! Do you think Harry will make it through to the end alive?

]]> Harry Potter Hogwart Knit Hat and Scarf Set - Officially Licensed Harry Potter Set - Great Christmas Gift for your Harry Potter Fans!The title of the 7th, and reported final, volume in the Harry Potter Series written by J.K.Rowling has been announced. The release date of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has not yet been made known. So, I guess no big surprise rush on getting the book for Christmas! At least not this Christmas. :D

I need to catch up. I still have volume 6, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to finish up. I’ve had to stop reading other site’s predictions of the events of the new book because they mention details I don’t know yet from the earlier book! It really is a fun series to read. Check out our b5media sister blog, The Gryffindor Gazette, for all the fun info on Harry Potter!There are some scary aspects of the book, and I’ve wondered what age I’ll let my kids start reading the books. They’re all 5 and under at this point, so I have a few years. What about you? Have you read the books? What age do you think is appropriate for kids to start this series?
