Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Can't wait to watch Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1! It will be shown in cinemas on November 19, 2010.

Actually, I'm not an avid fan of Harry Potter novel. I haven't even read a single book of J.K. Rowling. Would you believe that I started watching Harry Potter just a few months before the showing of its sixth installment in 2009? The good thing is that I was able to watch the series continuously, without a need for me to wait every year. However, after watching the six series of Harry Potter, I have learned to appreciate the movie and the story and understood why there were so many Harry Potter fanatics. So now here I am waiting for the two-part ending, LOL!
