Don't Panic

News item: all three of the primary actors have now signed contracts for the final Harry Potter films. I am So Relieved. My husband and I were reading a teen magazine while waiting at the vet a few weeks ago, and there was a feature interview with Emma Watson that suggested she didn't want to play Hermione anymore -- she wanted to go to college. What's Harry Potter without Emma Watson? I will admit, though, I'm a little freaked out by Daniel Radcliffe since I saw the Full Frontal pictures: Full Frontal and Harry Potter are just not two things I want to have connected to each other in my head.

Of course, everyone knows the final book is coming out in July. I've pre-ordered mine and one for my niece and nephew at the local bookstore where we all party down July 20-21. I hope the final book is good like the last one and not awful like the one before that.
