If you haven't checked your calendars yet...

Today is July 1st.

That means it is exactly TWO WEEKS until

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

opens at a theater near you! (Well, a theater near you if you are in America, at least - not sure about the international release dates.)

You can bet your sweet bippy I'm going to be parked in a comfy, reclining seat with a big ole bag of popcorn on my lap, gazing in wonder at the most recently filmed scenes of Harry and Co. on the 15th. I am also fairly certain I'll be crying at certain points, after all I did sob rather heavily at certain points in the book...

I'll be going with my BFF, with whom I've seen every other HP movie so far (and every one on its opening day except for Chamber of Secrets, which opened while Hubby and I were in L.A. for me to tape my big Jeopardy! appearance, so he and I saw it opening day out there and then I saw it with her again when we got home) and with whom I waited up until midnight at Barnes & Noble back when Deathly Hallows came out.......




Oh yeah, I'm way, way excited. Aren't you?

I totally LOVED these books but I have yet to see a movie. I don't want to be disappointed - kwim? There has not been a movie yet that has been able to capture what is in my imagination after reading a book. It's the primary reason why I will never watch To Kill a Mockingbird.

The HP movies are as good as the books?

I'M BEYOND EXCITED (insert 1960's Beatle mania girl scream here)!!! I SOOOOOOOO want to go to the 12:01a.m. showing here at the local bijou.. BUT with the two big kiddos still in Cali with the G-parents. And The DH thinking I'm off my nut for wanting to stay up that late on a "school" night. I'm thinking I'll have to wait till later in the day. Can you come to MD and go with me????!!! I mean you don't have a life right? You can just jump a train and escort my rapidly becoming OLD butt (one more week till 38 eeeek!).

My kids are furious that they're missing the premiere, as they leave for camp the day before. I'll be there, though, taking copious notes for their benefit, because I'm kind, thoughtful and selfless that way.
