23 days and counting. I think my husband and I are more excited than our son is. LOL. We will probably wait a week or two for the crowds to die down before going, but we'll be there!

I heard some sad news-- Richard Harris died today. He played Professor Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies and he was a very talented actor. He succumbed to cancer. http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/Movies/10/25/harris.obit/index.html

Oh, I love Richard Harris. He has not looked well for a long time. How sad. He was a wonderful actor.

They are showing him as King Arthur in Camelot on the news. He was a beautiful young man. I had such a crush on him when I was a teenager.

It made me very sad also. I remember when I saw him on Letterman last year and he was a fireball. Quite the character. I love the Harry Potter books and the first movie was wonderful. I've been so excited about this next one and to know Richard Harris passed away before it was released is a bit disheartening. My prayers are with his family, friends, and fans.

I just can't think of someone else playing Dumbledore...even if we only, so far, got to see him play Dumbledore once... He was the perfect Dumbledore....

I saw the young actors who play Harry, Herminoie, and Ron on Oprah today. They were quite cute...polite, a little nervous, and seemed to be having a good time. I was a little apprehensive watching it, because even though I figure it was taped awhile back, I thought they'd mention Richard Harris passing away. I was letting my son watch..my hubby and I had decided not to tell him this news (yes, I try to protect them!) They didn't mention it, which I was grateful/sad for. I did miss the first part of the show though, so may have missed that.

Wargod, Nope.. didn't miss it. Actually they never discussed any other characters at all with the exception of Emma having a crush on Kenneth Branagh (think it was him, wasn't paying 100% attention). My 13 year old daughter thinks that Daniel looks quite geeky WITHOUT his glasses which I found highly amusing. Rupert looked the most changed to me, cute kid. And that Emma? Man-oh-man, did her parents teach her manners and grace or what? LOL What a sweetheart. I thought the 3-movie answer was interesting. There has been all this gossip about the kids burning out and not wanting to do it anymore but that they are locked in for 3 movies. Oprah was taking it from a angle of the kids being too old soon (which doesn't make sense since they film one movie a year and the characters age one year each book). The kids just sorta blanked out when asked, all they would say is that there will definately be 3 movies but they have no idea beyond that.

I thought Daniel handled the older girl with a crush quite well, LOL..he was really cute about it. I did notice that most? all? of the audience was children, so maybe thats why they kept the topic to Daniel, Emma, and Rupert and didn't mention it.

I wish that I had seen that! I am disappointed to miss it. All the interviews that I have read with the kids indicate that for such young children, they have their heads screwed on right. Rupert/Ron I especially love because his awe at being chosen for the role is refreshing and comes through in his character's awe at being friends with the famous Harry Potter and the fascinating twists his life takes because of the friendship.

Herm, if I remember right Oprah usually repeats the day shows later in the week at night. I'm not sure what day or time. I usually don't watch Oprah, but yesterday was odd. My daughter was watching cartoons when my son came home from school. He decided he was going to do all his homework for Tuesday and Wednesday because of Halloween and I changed the channel to something he wouldnt be interested in. LOL, then I spent the next half hour hollering "Caleb, look!" LOL. He was getting a bit miffed with me, LOL.

RFLOL Wargod. Me too, haven't watched Oprah in months upon months... just happened to catch a commercial and taped it for my girls. Hermione, they really do seem like great kids. Rupert still has that air of being totally innocent and delighted with his fame about him. Daniel always seems shell-shocked to me , he moves stiffly like he is quite shy and not sure what to do with himself and Emma is just SUCH a proper little lady (although she says she is more of a tomboy and not very interested in school, etc). LOL Of all three, I would definately say that Rupert is the most like his character.

All three of them seemed to be very down to earth. I have to agree about Daniel...he seemed very shell shocked to have the attention. Rissa, did you interrupt your girls homework to watch the tape? LOL, I need to work on priorities! The funny thing is, nothing ever distracts us from homework...I don't even answer the phone during homework time, so was very odd for me to distract him.

Absolutely Wargod When they walked in from school, I told them I had taped something for them to watch. My eldest said, no thanks I have homework... I said, this will just take half an hour, it's a special Oprah to which my eldest just SCREAMED .. I am NOT watching Oprah and you can't MAKE ME!! heehee I let mine watch one hour of TV a day.. during the week this is 30 minutes before school (usually a cartoon while they eat) and 30 minutes at night. I always make them do their homework FIRST though, so if you figure out how to get your priorities back in sync... let me know how too.

LOL, glad I'm not the only one! Kota usually gets 30 minutes a day for tv, though I usually allow her to watch both The Wiggles and Dora. Caleb is the same as your girls 30 minutes before school, 30 minutes after homework. I do make exceptions for movies and such...but round here, homework is done ten minutes after getting out of school (snack first.) The thing is,I think, that Harry Potter was the book that taught Caleb to sit still and listen to a book for more than a few minutes, and to look forward to what happened next. It got him very excited to read, so I really hype up the movies for him, LOL.

The Wiggles!! Gosh those 4 guys are evil!! Ever since I came home from visiting my 2 year old sister, I've been singing those songs from the video "Wiggle's World" Grrrr

The Wiggles are a wee bit disturbing to me, BUT, kota loves them and they seem to teach her something so I don't complain too much. On the bright side, they're about a hundred times better than Barney and Teletubbies.

LoL Barney and Teletubbies = More Evil than the Wiggles. Does she watch a Wiggle show?? Or a video??

Show...comes on once or twice a morning, though she only gets to watch one of them. I don't like her to watch alot of TV, she needs to be active (keeps her out of trouble, LOL.) Every episode I've seen though, they really try to teach something to the kids watching it, rather its eating healthy or getting lots of exercise.
