T-Minus 4 Days 'Til Last 'Potter' Film: Let's Recap, Shall We?

Warner Brothers is trying to gin up anticipation among Harry Potter fans with this retrospective video which features highlights from all the previous Potter films and a few scenes from the new film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

They, along with ABC Family which has been running Potter movies all weekend long (we saw Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on TV Thursday night), are working my resident Potterheads into a veritable frenzy. (Meanwhile, my 12-year-old daughter has been hurriedly re-reading as much of the book series as she can -- for the billionth time -- before we see the film this coming weekend.)

I hope the movie does justice to the moving end of the series in the book. I'd really like the series to go out strong.

The Harry Potter Series . . . Lookin' Fabulous in Cartoon Form

These are too cute for words. The Harry Potter books . . . in cartoon form.

I discovered Lucy Knisley’s clever cartoon interpretations of the Harry Potter series via USA Today’s Pop Candy blogger. Knisley takes each book and chronicles the tale via brilliant illustrations. They remind me a bit of of Dyna Moe’s Mad Men illustrations in that they put a unique twist on the dramatic scenes she depicts.

You can see them in a larger format on her web site. It's worth the visit.
