Gryffindor in the house!
I was at the midnight showing last night of the new Harry Potter movie (the one with the Half Blood Prince). My teenage sons, who are both big fans dragged me there. I had been in Topeka yesterday speaking at Washburn University and flew back last night in time for the movie.
2,000 Muggle fans poured into 14 theatres at the Chicago location I was at – when we got there at 11:00 PM it was mobbed. It is fun to go to “an opening” to see all the enthusiastic fans and to watch the movie with them because they can appreciate all the fine points of it.
It ended at 3:00 AM, I got to bed at 4:00 AM and I was up at 7:00 AM. Feels alot like college or when I started my first business.
David Yates (director) did a superb job just magnificent to watch, may be Alfonso Cuarón would have made them ROCK. I am a great fan of Harry Potter series. My favorite still remains HP3: Prisoner of Azkaban. But Half Blood was simply outstanding on levels. I’ll be seeing it again Saturday on IMAX which will be even better as it’s one of the original IMAX screens that loom up and over the audience as opposed to newer screens that are just big.
Being a great fan I have collected a list of good sites and articles (may be around 200) related to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (movie information, movie schedule, movie reviews, books, games, news, wallpapers and many more). If you are interested take a look at the below link

Thanks- I will pass it on!
