Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

If you are anything like me and do not have any magic powers, you are a 'muggle'. And if you are like millions of muggles around the world, you must be looking forward to the seventh - and final - instalment of Harry Potter's adventures, to be released on July 21st, 10 years after the first book was published. 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' will supposedly answer all the questions that are still unanswered and show the final confrontation between the wizard and his enemy Lord Voldemort.

A lot is already being said about the book and the recently released 5th movie of the series (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix), so here's a series of interesting links to articles and activities about the world of Harry Potter:

Hi Mô!!!Last weekend I had the opportunity to check new Potter´s movie, Order of Phoenix... Interesting was the reaction of some teenagers who were with me... most of them did not enjoy the film, simply because it was "different" from the previous ones... I guess they were not ready to see Harry getting old and going through the doubts and contradictions of his age. But, regardless of their displeasure, I loved it!

Hi Fred, I'm dying to see the movie! To tell you the truth, I loved the other ones, even those that looked different from the book - I think it's interesting to see the choices the directors make when they need to decide how to tell the story... And of course I'm on the countdown for the last book!
Say hello to Katia and Julia!
