Harry Potter rules!

I'm back from the dead, apparently.

These weeks, (or was it days?) had been hectic. I'm been toeing the deadlines for many things.

Since that things have more or less settle down, my plans is to post those long-overdue photos from Sydney and updates on my life on Friday.

The reason I'm making this post is partly because I'm so hyped-up over the upcoming movie event of the year: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Oh gods, I've never felt this way since Twilight the movie during 2008.

Adrenaline is pumping through my blood and I'm really jumpy, in a good way. I've to calm down though.

Was it because HBP is long-overdue since last year? Or was it because there are my favourite stars in it? Was it because I have this good feeling about the latest installment after being let-down by the last 3 movies? Could it be that aside from New Moon the movie which won't be released until December, HBP is the only movie that I look forward to?

With all the reasons combine together, it is enough to make me feel great and passionate and optimistic to last me through the school days.

The 2 minutes plus HBP trailer really rocks! I get these tingles whenever I watch it. Ooooh yes!

Draco has a really important part in this installment and I really look forward to Tom Felton's portrayal. Draco is this vulnerable character who got forced into big shoes he can't possibly fill. What makes me love this character is that Tom Felton portrays him and that the world isn't just black and white.

Yes, I admit I got attracted by the attractiveness. What can I say, I'm a girl.

Severus Snape is another character that I love with a passion. The love just got stronger when I started reading this really well-written fan-fic about the snarky professor.

At the beginning, I feel the same as Hermione does about Snape. I can see that he's not meant to be an evil character. However, the plot surrounds him became worst and at a time, I lost faith in him. After all, he did kill Dumbledore.

During the story on the Prince's Tale in Deathly Hallows, I cried. Snape is just this wonderfully tragic character whose love is so strong that he sacrifices his soul and self to aid his love's son.

I will surely get teary-eyed in the movie when DH is released, but that's another tale for another day.

That doesn't mean that I don't love the other characters. Hermione, Ron and Harry and many others are much loved too.

I have to start to read HBP before the movie comes! The plots must be in my head by the time I watch it.

I'm going to watch it on 16th/17th July 2009. I don't care. I'm going to share this glorious moment with my cousins and brothers. I'm going to watch it on the big screen at VivoCity or Marina Square.

This proves to be a problem because my brothers and cousins may have things on the days since it's school days.

Gah! I told my brother that he should skip his remedial and tell his teacher that he's going to watch Harry Potter. Of course, Harry Potter is more important than school.

I can't wait! There's just about a week left. I'm literally rubbing my hands in glee. From today onwards, I'm logging onto Mugglenet to view the latest news.

I realised that I like England side of perspective more. I don't know; maybe the British actors/actresses are more matured and sensible. The way they talk certainly put things into perspective.

Or maybe it's because the USA actors/actresses are always portray in the bad light or in the tabloids for doing something bad...

Will stop here now. Most probably, the next post will be up on Friday.
