Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince
So I have read the book. Now, I have watched the movie. My feeling? I want the whole series to be over soon. The reason? Come on, the actors and actresses are all grown up. I think that they should be well on their way to act in different genre.
After so many years of Harry Potter, I guess I need to have a different type of addiction. Perhaps to Twilight, although I do like Twilight books for the moment (why for the moment? because I don’t fancy the movie but will be waiting for the second movie, in case it is going to change my mind).
As I have said many times, I love books more than the movies (when movies are based on books).
Lord of The Ring is one movie saga that I didn’t read the books at all (but I might find the time to actually read it now that I have watched the movies and the movies are way back years ago).
What do I think about HBP?
Overall, it is quite good. The only thing is that it reminded me of Gandalf scene “you shall not pass”, something like that. To be honest, I find that movies like Harry Potter and Narnia borrowed scenes from LOTR although this is just my opinion. You should refer to Narnia (2nd movie) where there is a scene at the end with the river flowing down to drown the bad guys.
I love for the fact that the romance between Harry and Ginny is not over-reacting. It is simply clean and very romantic. I also like it when Hermione was jealous of Ron for dating someone else.
Let us not forget about Draco, joining the dark side. Snape killing Dumbledore. (I know Dumbledore knew he had to die – I still feel rather sad). There are other details such as the death of Aragog, but I like the scene when Hermione, Ron and Harry are in the bar having Butterbeer. Gotta look at Ron’s face when he saw Ginny kissing.
The whole movie is long enough to cover as much details as possible.
As for the last book, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, I cannot imagine how they are going to make the movie into 2 parts. However, I would be happy to wait for the movies to be out. I just wish they could release both together although it is very unlikely. So, the year 2011 would be the end for Harry Potter saga. By that time, I would 24. Way too old for magic tricks – I guess. Maybe not.

10 Things I Wish My Parents Had Told Me About Money
When I was a kid, I never thought that I will have to earn my own money as my parents often give me whatever I ask from them and I don’t have to worry about money as they will give me $50 for a week. For kids, that would be more than enough but since I was born in a wealthy family, it seems small to me. As I grew older, I realized that my parents were getting very strict about money.
Every time I asked for money, they replied, “Get your own money, son. You are too old to depend on your folks.” I would protest, “You have given me everything since I was young and now you are going to cut off my expense? It is like cutting off my oxygen supply. I can die.” Seriously, at one point I thought I was going to die without money. After all I have been fed with all the money they can give me. I began to think of 10 things I wish they told me about money.
I wish they had told me that “earning money is difficult”. That would have stop me from lazing around the town spending every dime I had in every toy stores or fast food restaurants. If only they had told me that “money is very important”, I would have saved all my money in a piggy bank so that I can use it when I grew older.
If they had told me “to get money I must work”, I would have find a job to earn more money than loitering around doing nothing but wasting time. How I wish they had told me that “people will not give you money for nothing”, then I would have tried to sell off some of my own stuff to generate some income rather than throwing away most of my precious toys whenever I don’t like them.
If they had told me that “poor people cannot eat because they don’t have money”, then I would have give some of my share to my friends so they can afford to eat. I also wish they had told me about the “no money, no talk” syndrome, as it really affects me badly when I need to get to the college and I need to pay for my own college fees.
Somehow, I figured that if they had told me that “I need to pay to use the toilet”, then I would have saved all the coins I had rather than just leaving it all over the place and someone had took it. If money is so important, then I wish they had told me to “invest some money in the bank” so I get to collect some interest from the savings.
However, nothing is more important than telling me, “property is money”. Then I could have bought my own house rather than renting, which has taken a large sum of my money every month paying for a house that is not my own. The last thing I wish they had told me is, “there is no free lunch in this world.” Then, I would not give anyone a free lunch as I did in school, treating my friends to scrumptious feast and all.
How I wish they had told me earlier everything about money.
