On a lighter note

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban opens tomorrow and most of the reviews I've read so far are praising it. The NYT says, for example, "This is surely the most interesting of the three Potter movies, in part because it is the first one that actually looks and feels like a movie, rather than a staged reading with special effects.

Now, if we could only get the books to start feeling like books again instead of screenplays (read the fight scene at the end of HP5 and you will know what I am talking about, then I will be happy again.

You know Peninah - I never thought of it that way but you have a point. Maybe that is why I disliked HP5 as much as I did.

Also - it was long and tedious. She spent close to 500 pages developing a plot and dropped it in a few paragraphs.

I'm psyched for Book Three, The Movie.
