Wednesday night the grandparents came down so James and I could go out to see the latest Harry Potter movie. I thought it was the funniest by far. I think that the young actors have grown so close during the making of these films that their own senses of humor and playfulness came across on the big screen.

I have to admit that one of my favorite parts of the night were seeing the trailer for the new Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief movie set for a release on February 12, 2010. Rick Riordan said he thought the trailer looked very promising. I loved it!

Of course there was also the trailer for Where the Wild Things Are. I’m not so sure Spike Jones is making a children’s flick though it looks like it is going to be great. I can’t wait to take my Books Gone Hollywood class to go and see these in the theater.
