Hey everyone!
Today I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. One word : AMAZING! It's by far the best Harry Potter movie. In my opinion, there's less deviation from the book in this one.
If you're a huge Harry Potter fan like me then get your tissues ready! I was already crying during the first few minutes when Hermione was erasing her parent's memories. A few other scenes also made me tear up, especially the one at the end (won't give out any spoilers but if you've read the book, you know what I mean).
I agree with some reviewers saying this is the scariest Harry Potter movie. One particular scene made everyone jump, especially me! lol
I have a lot of favorite scenes in this movie. I laughed every time they had to take polyjuice potion. Very funny! All the scenes with Dobby were really cute! I wish we would've seen more of him. :)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a must-see! And I'm not just saying this because I'm a big fan. My dad saw the movie and really enjoyed it as well. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD. :D
5 stars!!

Please welcome Melanie (love her name) from Melanie's Musings.
1. I was named after Melanie Wilkes in Gone With the Wind, but I've
always preferred Scarlett.
2. I wouldn't mind if Algebra went and threw itself off a cliff.
3. My hands are almost never empty, filled with either a book, laptop, or
knitting needles.
4. I spend way too much time on etsy.com. So many pretty things.
5. I've watched the BBC mini-series of North and South at least seven
times, and it somehow gets better every time.
6. I just recently discovered the romance genre, and I'm completely in love. Especially with those set in Regency England.
7. Once was Lost by Sara Zarr is one of my all-time favorite books. You
should read it.
8. I'm making cupcakes this weekend.
9. I can't roll an R to save my life. You're rolling an R right now just
to tease me, aren't you?
10. I have two bookcases, and books are still overflowing. My life is
therefore fairly amazing.
********************
Thanks Melanie! I'm French and I have trouble rolling an R so don't worry about it. :)
Here's a bit of info on Melanie and her blog taken from her About page :
A bit about me: Hey! My name’s Melanie, and I live in the wonderful state of Florida. I’m a teen and right now, I’m enjoying life, as well as figuring out where I fit in this crazy world. I’m an only child. I live with my parents. While we certainly have our not-so-nice moments, for the most part we got along pretty well. I’ve got a dog, Fritz, who’s a schnauzer mix, and he’s always full of it. I also, after years of begging, have a horse. His name’s Ranger. I’d have to say he’s pretty awesome but then, I’m biased. I really enjoy doing stuff like writing, playing the piano, photography, knitting, anything outdoors, and of course, reading.
A bit about the blog: Melanie’s Musings is a way for me to talk mostly about the books I’ve been reading, although you’ll probably get the occasional blurb of randomness. I definitely have friends who enjoy reading, but I’m pretty sure none of them enjoy it as much as I do. Book discussions are pretty rare among us, so I started this blog to be able to share my opinion. I’m an opinionated person, so it shouldn’t be too hard!

Thanks Daniel!! Out of curiosity, which countries did you live in?
And #10 is the reason why I don't keep plants. lol
