Harry Potter

I am sure there are plenty of people out there reviewing the Harry Potter film. For me it was great and certainly the best of them to date.

What did strike me though is - Harry Potter lost his parents as a baby, and maybe I missed it, but where is his grandparents? I cannot recall why he went to the Dursleys although I understand they were his only family.

But what happened to his mothers parents, what happend to his fathers parents?

In the penultimate book, Half Blood Prince, its left with a note from R.A.B - haven't worked out who that is - but I wondered if it were a relationship. Still my book arrives tommorow and all will be revealed.

Horcruxes - a theory

Hi

First if what I say is obvious, don't tell me so.
Second - don't read this if you haven't read half blood prince in the Harry Potter series.

Now for those that have. I have just finished reading for the 2nd time Harry Potter and the Half Blood prince. My theory surrounds the fact that there are supposed to be seven horcruxes and as far as I can tell, Deathly Hallows will have some focus on that. My theory is that I suspect that Harry is the seventh Horcrux.
So, withouth reading the last book, here is a prediction - happy to be wrong.
He will destroy all the horcrux's and will kill Voldermort, however, to ensure Voldermort doesn't return then he will need to kill himself or be killed.

The reason I think this is the case is because Harry seems to possess attributes of Voldermort - special magic powers and be able to speak parceltonque. He is also "marked" via his scar.

We shall see - but this month is great for Harry Potter fans.

general stuff

Life is going quite well at the moment if not a bit busy.
I am looking forward to Thursday this week as I off to do some extra work for the Stephen Fry's programme called Kingdom. This recently ended in May I believe but a new series is now commissioned and being filmed in / near Swaffam.

If I get some photos I will post them but I am not sure I will.

Today I got installed and setup a 2nd Broadband line in the house. Basically the reason I have two is that I have a wireless business network supplied with my own telephone line, but as a BT Employee I have BT Total Broadband Option 3 installed.

Effectively it also means I have three telephone numbers into the house, one 01603 to my office, one 01603 to my home and 01603 to my BT Broadband talk number - how crazy is that.
