Harry Potter movie and reread

I have seen Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince twice now. I went to the midnight showing, which was great, but also made me tired the next day. Of course, I then needed to reread the novel to see what important parts the film makers left out. In case you haven't seen the movie or read the books, I won't give specifics, but will say I was disappointed in the ending. They left out a lot! I do think they did great job with the film, it may even be the best one so far. The actors get better with each one, and this director did a good job of making the film dark but adding in humor when needed (snogging). All the teenage love seemed real, just as J. K . Rowling meant it to.

I am now rereading the last book, Deathly Hallows, just because I love this series so much. I am very excited about the news that they will film the next book as a two-parter. I know this will make them lots of money, but it will also provide a way to tell the final chapter of Harry's story with the detail needed.

Gallagher Girls

I have wanted to read this series since I ordered them for the library. They were, however, constantly checked out, so summer was the perfect time to catch up.

I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You and Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter are the first two books in this entertaining series. In this series Cammie Morgan goes to a private school, called the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, which just happens to be a spy school for girls.

In I'd Tell You I Love You, but Then I'd Hve to Kill You Cammie falls in love with a boy from town. She must hide the fact that she is learning to become a spy from him, as well as hide her love from her spy teachers. She thought this would be easy because she is known for her ability to blend in, but things don't go quite so smoothly for her.

In Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, Gallagher Academy is host to some boys from a boy spy school. The girls must learn to work with boys, whom they know little about and suspect may be at the Academy for more sinister reasons than to learn.

I cannot wait to get read the follow up, Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover, and the 2010 planned Heist Society.
