A Brief Announcement

The sixth Harry Potter movie released sometime around the middle of July. I watched it shortly afterwards. It was convenient that I'd forgotten all about the book, having had read it too long back, and I quite liked the movie. I watched it a second time with my brother and sister who insisted I accompany them when they went to see it, and I liked it even better the second time. But I won't write a movie review here. You see, when I used to write for a local newspaper, I specialized in writing reviews- of movies, of music albums, of music artistes and so on and so forth. With the result that, subsequently, I've become thoroughly sick of reviews. I still write on books on The Aspiring Book Critics' Club Official blog (click here), but they are discussions rather than reviews. In any case, I can direct you to a very good discussion on HP6 by a member of The Aspiring Book Critics' Club, so why bother to write a review myself? Click here. Alzyna calls it a review, but it's actually a discussion, and although I think she is prejudiced against DanRad (as I call Daniel Radcliffe, on whom I've got a huge crush, by the way), her write-up is worth reading. And will someone please tell her to change the template? I don't have the courage to, but I really do think it doesn't look good.
I will here announce something that has been on my mind for quite some time. I'm re-reading the Harry Potter books, starting with the first, and this time, I'm deliberately going slow. You could say I'm studying them. And I intend to finish one book in one week and no faster than that. Starting this week, each week, for seven weeks, I will write about one Harry Potter book on The Aspiring Book Critics' Club blog. Other members are hereby requested to please desist from writing about other books in these seven weeks. (I do think they will be glad to have a break; they aren't really much active, and any excuse to remain inactive for seven long weeks will be welcome to them.)
