For not being at home, probably.

Well, all my friends and I have younger brothers and sisters. Being away from them for a little bit is always good.

I have one brother and he´s two years younger and yes, he can be very annoying but I can´t imagine being an only child.

I was an only child for 16 years, and then my mom had a "surprise" - a baby brother for me! I was unsure about him when I first found out, but as it got closer to the big birth day I got more and more excited. He is the most amazing person and I love him so much. It's really been fun and unique to be so much older than him. I really can appreciate him, and we're really close. He's 6 right now, and started school this year. He's so smart, and learning to read so well! I'm so excited to buy him books this Christmas! It's really hard, since he's of course, at home in Michigan, but I fly home as much as I can to see him, and we talk on the phone a lot. It's a unique situation, but I wouldn't trade him for the world.

That´s so cute! My mom told me I was always taking care of my brother when he was young and fed him but he got more annoying when he grew up

That's cute. I'm the younger child. My brother and I are 5 years apart.

Wow-wwee! We've certainly gone OT, but that's okyday. All i can contribute to the convo is that my sis was a suprise about a year after i had been born and Mum found on she was having her on Christmas Eve! hehe
Anyhoos, to get back to Mr Potter, there's been a heap of his-res new pics from film 5 released, which you can find over at Mugglenet.com or HPANA, and if anyone is actually able to get the latter site to play the darn clip that was also released, please let me know how it looks for it won't open for me!!!!!! *sobs* I should also add that amoungst the new still shots from the film you will find Haz's first kiss with Cho; very cute indeed.

I went to the movie theatre last night and saw the teaser - the movie looks great, rather dark, which I think fits the tone of the book. Once again it takes some adjustment when you first see how Harry/Daniel is all grown up and yes, the kissing scene was part of it!

Gaw! I'm rather jealous - of your seeing the teaser Jefie, not of Katie (Cho) kissing Dan for i do not "fan" the bloke in that way at all. I'm simply anxious to see the trailer and subsequently re-watch it over and over again to decipher the tone and style of this next installment. I believe it will make it's debut on the net in a few days time, hopefully! The only issue i have with teasers is that they do exactly that - and i don't like to be teased when it comes to book-movie adaptations that i'm passionate about! Give me a full-length theatrical trailer with dozens of spoilers from the start, please! hehe

ANNOUNCEMENT: The title of the seventh and final Potter book has been released by Jo. Run away now if you do not wish to see it.
I'm not wild about it at all, but it may be much better than the name implies (let's hope so!... i think it's just the cornyness of the "deathly" that puts me off.. it's not like we need to be reminded of the seriousness and darkness of tone and theme these days....)
