Four Weeks

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released in four weeks.

The LA Times has an interview up with the screen writer (butcher) who wrote the screen plays for films 1-4 but not 5. I actually didn't know this, and it makes me a bit unsettled, as movie 5 was the one that I thought they did the best job of adapting to screen.

I won't spoil the contents of the article for you, but I will say this... If they left out Dumbledore's funeral, which it sounds like they did, I am not sure how I am going to feel about it. That scene marks the beginning of Harry's transition to independence.

The transition that sees is completion with the scene at Shell Cottage where Harry makes the final choice between Horcruxes and Hallows. I am going to take a wait and see approach.

So far the Summer of Movies has not disappointed.
