Counting down...

If you've ever been to Mugglenet, you'll be acquainted with the countdown toolbar pasted at the header of the the website. For months, the clock has been ticking(and quite infuriartingly it was set back after the 'postponing' chaos).
Fans have eagerly watched the numbers dwindle slowly day after day, finally becoming one digit numbers.
It is thus, historic to watch the number 1 flash on the screen as the number of days left for the movie.

I'm beyond myself with excitement, dwiddling my thumbs in anxious ecstasy whilst reading the book or seeing the movies to make fruitful use of the time(which seems dreadfully slow) before the film hits the Big Screen.
The first shows have been sold out and the streets are once more filled with long, winding, unending queues of people in cloaks and wizard hats, brandishing wands.

So till Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince opens at theatres, keep practising those wand movvements.... Swish and Flick!

Movie Marathon: Potter Preparations

Harry Potter Movie Marathons. Classic way to make up a big finale drum roll upto the sixth part. It keeps us busy and brings back all the old laughter and memory.

The most fun part of watching the movies for Harry Potter fans is ironically, finding the inaccuracies and standing up in the theatre, yelling at the screen 'That was never there in the books', throwing a shoe and getting a warning from the obese security guard with his glowering stare in torchlight. A bit of a Mugglenet joke there.

The Internet is littered with little snippets and videoclips of the movie. But what's the fun of watching the movie after two years of impatience if you're going to see all the crucial/hilarious/intense moments on YouTube, just the day before the release date?

B-Rolls are like a movie massacre; squandering all the good scenes of the anticipated movie.

I'm nearly done with my Marathon by the way! Even though I've watched them countless times, it's just so thrilling to see them all over again, seeing their little innocent faces morph into mature grown-up stars, seeing the magic brew more powerful, seeing the legacy of Harry Potter scrolled out in spectacular fashion- where reality meets fiction.

Brushing up: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince- the Essential Re-re-re-read

Obviously with the movie on the way, re-reads are a crucial must-do for any Harry Potter fan.
A serving of Quidditch, a dose of Felix Felicis, a vial of memories and the good ol' cauldron of mystery and adventure... ahh, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
Now, shhh..... I'm trying to read here!

Potter's Great Expectations

While the anticipation grows to heightened pitch, interviews from various actors and actresses that have had the envious fortune of working on the set of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince are flooding newspapers and fan sites as devoted aficionados scramble about for even slivers of information.
The midnight shows across the USA have been sold out and the box office is predicting a colossal hit, raking in dollars by the million.
With an undoubtedly propitious premiere, the bar has been set sky high.
Now the million dollar question is... Will it live up to the Hype?

Potter Premieres: Wild, Wet and Wonderful!

The Potter Premieres in the UK and the USA went off spectacularly with hundreds of fans descending upon Leicester Square and the equivalent venue in the USA to witness the star studded red carpet event, which turned out a huge success with an unexpected twist or two!
A rather gloomy, black cloud seemed to hover over Leicester Square and shake down torrential rain.
The resulting downpour did soak the actors and actresses as they hurried up the red carpet, waving and cheering and signing autographs to a booming, screaming, mad crowd( half of which was painted red and gold).

Whilst a few enjoyed the atmosphere of yelling fans under an umbrella others like Rupert Grint was quite literally hopping about in the rain puddles to the delight of his aficionados.

The most pleasing outcome of these premiers is no doubt the critics' review. Now that's an uncommon comment!
The critics and reviewers loved the movie and had an analysis raving about the sixth installment of the Harry Potter movie franchise.
Fans now are eager more than ever, if that's possible! Over the moon happy!
And that goes for me as well.
Voracious viewers- we are watching with a vulture appetite at the countdown, ready to relish what David Yates and his cast and crew have to offer us- Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince-The Movie!

PotterWatch

4 days left for the blockbuster summer movie of the year!
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is slotted for release on 15th July, after being rescheduled from the initial launch date- 21st November 2008.
Yes, the act of postponing the film caused outrage among us fans, having waited eagerly, starved of Harry Potter for well over a year. (Except for The Tales of Beedle The Bard, which was fantastic and just in time for Christmas!)
So finally, after two years, Warner Brothers delivers the movie adaptation of the penultimate book in the Harry Potter series in what critics acclaim as the 'best yet of the first six movies'.
Harry Potter movies have quite recently been notorious for disappointment, quite understandable due to the pumped up hype and the intense speculation that these movies are scrutinised with.
However, I was quite thrilled when the tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes measured a solid red bar of 96% and a 7.4 rating- which if you are new to the 'rotten tomatoes concept' is a stupendous feat.
So with hopes running high along with the adrenaline and the gigantic promotion and premiering of the film, I, along with the millions of Harry Potter fans in the world, wait on tenterhooks for midnight of 14th July to draw closer and arrive with a breathtaking bang!

Block it out

The writer's cramp is still seething with biting pain. It just won't go.
The infuriating void has settled and my brain feels hollow.
It seems my best ideas keep coming when I'm doing something rather taxing to my brain.
It's probably like a little escape from say, my studies, that I think creatively with my imagination full swing.
Like the left hemisphere and right hemisphere of my brain is in eternal civil war and conflict.
I think television has warped my insides and I'm slowly mutating into a mindless, gibbering couch potato devoid of any spark of talent and creation.



God help me.
