Hail Hermione

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2004)

I had the pleasure of watching "POA" in an IMAX theater. It made the scenes such as Harry riding the hippogriff breathtaking.
I've seen and enjoyed the first two movies of the "Harry Potter" series. I haven't read one word of the books. But after seeing "POA", I now want to read the books. More so, I'm curious to know how author J.K. Rowling will finish the series. I read speculation on the fate of Harry Potter and it got me to speculate too.
I believe Emma Watson's performance as Hermione will influence Ms. Rowling in the direction she takes the rest of the books. Hermione shows off "grrl power" far in excess of the often-played clip of her punching Malfoy. Ms. Watson makes me believe that Hermione's power will take her to unexpected heights.
