Harry Potter and brooooomsticks.

I just got back from watching the sixth Harry Potter movie, the Half Blood Prince with Madison and Andrew (fun times). I was definitely expecting the movie to be awesome (it's hard not to have high expectations when some of your friends spent nights, yes plural "nightS," in front of the movie theater just to be first in line for the midnight showing). Now don't get me wrong, it was a great movie that had me occupied and quite frankly nervous for what would happen next, but this whole "fantasy thing..." I'm not so sure. I guess all I'm trying to say is that it's tough for me to understand magic (like "how come Snape can cure certain dastardly spells, but Harry can't just whip out some magic to save Dumbledore from death"-sorry about the spoiler, but I'm pretty sure that if you haven't been in a coma for the past few years, you'd know by now). But then again, I'm just skeptical (and haven't read past the first three books) and what do I know? I'm just not a fantasy type of girl. Don't worry though, the movie was incredible and the acting has gotten a little better. If anyone knows the answer to magic and its limits or how it works, please feel free to contact me.
