I don't have a lot of words about Norway or Amy Winehouse as any death is a loss and so many deaths at once is hard to comprehend.

That aside, I like your recap of the film. It's kind of nice to see a quiet tribute. In the meantime, if you haven't seen it yet, here's a video of Jason Isaacs making a surprise visit to the Harry Potter panel at SDCC and talking about playing Lucius a bit. He's pretty great.

I mean Dumbledore did some rather messed up things too but he was fairly honest to Harry. Snape never took Harry on his own, all his interactions were colored by Lily and James, which I found rather sad and disturbing.

Also, I should credit my friend pinkfinity with pointing out the Jason Isaacs video. She was actually one of the people running that panel.

Its a great video as you'll see since I've passed it on. I love when actors are clearly excited about being part of something.

The Borders' closing is so sad, a lot of people at SI have connections to it so there were lots of thoughts. Now the going out of business sale has started and its even sadder. Though someone posted a sweet little sign near the door saying You are Beautiful that I took a picture of.
I'm still wandering in there but its sad how quickly things can change. Going from a quiet bookstore to going out of business and people asking the price of fixtures. Due to where I live, I walk by the store most days so its not easy.
