@ Cynic: Hai, na? Since this post, there’s been an update on the Mma.Ramotswe books. Add to this list - “The Company of Cheerful Ladies” and “The Good Husband of Zebra Drive”. The first gets a ten on ten just like all the other books in the series. The second, I’ve yet to read but I’m pukka sure that it’ll live up to its predecessors.

I saw the movie first day first show [Midnight on a working day ]. I loved it. The director almost did justice to the book, given the time limit on the movie. Must watch for every Potter fan!

*Possible Spoilers*
The visuals are just breathtaking - #12 Grimauld’s place, room of requirement, ministry of magic, just wow! Luna isn’t as loony as I’d imagined her to be. Cho was disappointing, Tonks and LeStrange were rightly cast.

@ Ginger Girl: Let’s discuss the movie and the book at the end of this month! Actually mail me your number…will call you.

@ Queen Bee: Die-hard Potter fan here. *shake hands* Yup, I love the Weasley twins too! But actually…I quite liked Luna in the movie, though I’ve only seen the pre-release rushes. Let’s see once the movie is out, though.

@ S: At least someone does!

@ Rachna: Oh, I did that too…its a refresher course before the movie for me. As for Mma.Ramotswe, I haven’t actually read all of them but I’m going through. Am on ‘The Kalahari Typing school for men’ at the moment.

@ Sense: …as always makes sense. Mail me your number girl, I feel like talking to ya.

hey… about Sirius… They’ve picked his part to perfection… people outside the Uk might not know this, but Gary Oldman- who plays Black in the movie, was the proverbial hell-raiser in his youth, and definitely has the rep to play black to the hilt… that’s why opinions on him differ so vastly here and elsewhere.

Hey… yes, I too read the Alexander McCall series about a year back- and loved them. I esp love the secretary- and her shoes And I am actually rereading the whole HP series just so that I am primed for July 21.
As far as the movie versions go- I haven’t seen ANY of them, because I feel they ALL fall so short of the books, and never get across as well. Being a HUGE Potter addict, I just can’t take it.

As for matrimony obsessed relatives- Do I know……….. I was in the same miserable situation for the last 4 years. So I can completely empathize. Its pretty sad- or at least in my case it was.
