Today arrives to worldwide cinemas the sixth installment of HP series. No, I don't mean the printer, but Harry Potter, the Boy Who Survived, or as he has been called lately, the Chosen One.

I have to admit myself as a crazy former fan. I still enjoy it, but when I was in sixth grade I was totally addicted to his stories. I used to check the rumors every month, re-read all the books, and when I was done with all that I used to read tones and tones of fanfics. Back then, I didn't know much of English, so I had to read them in Brazilian Portuguese. Personally, I hate Brazilian Portuguese, and Brazilian translated a bunch of names that shouldn't have translation, such as Griffindor or Slytherin. I mean, what's the point? Create new names? If they want to, they should write themselves their own book.

Well, but I shouldn't complain. I used to read them. A lot. I remember the secret affairs between Snape and Lilly; the Hogwarts version of Big Brother; love triangules including Harry, Hermione and Draco... It was plenty of fan.

Nowadays I don't read fanfics. I really don't know why. Too much to read, perhaps? No matter what, fanfics played a major role on my love for HP books. I was first introduced to HP when the first movie came out. I loved it, and so I read all the four books already written. But there were still missing three. And while they weren't released I'd just entertain myself with more Potter adventures. Some of them were so good that were worth of being published. I wonder why all fanfics writers decided to write fanfics instead of writing books. Many fanfics are book-length.

But maybe I should go back to topic. I'm really excited about the release of the sixth movie, since this book was my favourite out of the last three books (my favourite out of the whole series was the third). Terrible enough, I'm not even sure I'm able to go to the theatre today. You see, the closest cinema here is like half an hour away and I'm still dependable on a ride.

The media is making the whole movie about teenage love and such stupidities. I hope the actual movie isn't just love scenes. I mean, Hermione/Ron parts must be funny, but they should make it more about the half-blood prince. After all, he is in the title.

Spoilers: And I can barely wait to watch Dumbledore being killed by Snape... Hey, I always liked Dumbledore, but it is one of the crucial moments of the series, and the most important of this sixth book, if you ask me.

It's been at least three years since I read the book, but I've read the beggining today and I'm already feeling the magic pulsing through my veins and arteries (cliché, but true)...

I only hope I'm gonna be able to watch it today. Because if it isn't today, I'm not going to be able to until the week after the next. Which remind me, I won't be posting anything during that time. And hey, I'm not crazy. Finally somebody knows this blog exists, alright, so I'm free to say I won't be posting here for quite a while. Somebody may visit...
