The
Spartan Voice Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows, Part I opens Today . . .
HP7 By Jake Barrett Unless you live under an enormous muggle-rock you are aware that the first installment of the ‘last’ Harry Potter movie opens today! Our generation has been hooked on Harry ever since the “Sorcerer’s Stone” was published in 1997 and the first movie released in 2001. I remember when we bought our last book: The Deathly Ha!ows, on July 21, 2007 at midnight. We had just seen the fifth Harry Potter movie, and we read the book through into the next day. We were practically raised with the Harry Potter series. When asked about the new movie, Eben Bitonte responded, “I am anticipating action, excitement and overall epicness. I also hope they stick to the book.”

HP 7 India Cohlmia agreed and said “Since it is divided into two parts it should be more loyal to the book.” Lily Shawver answered “I’m really excited to see the movie because the seventh book was most definitely my favorite, but I’m also sad because it’s all coming to an end.” ! When this movie picks up from the “Half Blood Prince,” we are reminded that the trio of mischievous students have decided to cut school permanently so that they can finish what their late headmaster started: destroy the most evil being in the world by killing the pieces of his soul trapped in valuable trinkets scattered around England. The movie starts with the wedding of between Fleur Delacour and Bill Weasley, but the event takes a turn for the worse, causing Harry, Ron and Hermione to flee the scene and start on their quest. Harry later becomes torn between seeking Horcruxes, which make He-Who-Must-Not-BeNamed invincible until they are all destroyed, or the Deathly Hallows, which Harry thinks will make him undefeatible. I won’t give away the ending (partially because I don’t know where the first part will end) so if you want to know what happens, you need to read the book!
! If you have never read any of the books-you just should. Besides, the books are way better than the movies, which is certainly saying something. Eben Bitonte also stated that “my passion about Harry Potter is basically just something I wish was real and that I could be apart of ” and India said “There are no words to describe how I feel about Harry Potter.” You know it is an important part of your life when you covet the elective “Hogwarts: A History.” But whatever degree of passion you have for the world of Harry Potter the fervor is only likely to increase until the release of Part 2 in July 2011. ! Accio Harry!
When the Harry Potter movies were first filmed the actors were close to the same age as the characters they portray. However, in the years of filming the actors have aged to be quite a bit older than the characters ‘actual’ age. Here is how old each actor is in “Deathly Hallows” and how old they’re supposed to be. Call it movie “magic.” Max Craddock ! ! ! ! ! ! Age they should be ! Age in real life Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)! ! Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley)!! ! Emma Watson (Hermione Granger)!

Forecast Celestial ! Aries – Fred and George Weasley
NOVEMBER 19, 2010
The Freshman are squibs.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and must always be first in everything. Fred and George Weasley were born the first of April and are inventors, making things exist for the first time ever and before anyone else does. They exemplify Aries pioneering boldness, drama and fun to a Tee, including their ambition to open a joke shop so as to sell their inventions. Frequent shenanigans get them into trouble and they are always at odds with authority.
Taurus – Professor Pomona Sprout Professor Pomona Sprout is the perfect earthy witch: born under the primary earth sign of Taurus. With her roots and fingers in the soil, she teaches class in the Hogwarts greenhouse. Taurus likes to be obvious and simple, on many complex levels! Pomona is taken from the name of the Roman Goddess of fruit trees, and Sprout is exactly what it is. Taurus believes in reaping what you sow, both literally and figuratively.
SOPHOMORES: They haven’t really done anything worth mentioning but at least they get a house.
Gemini – Draco Malfoy Draco Malfoy, born June 5, is a brilliant example of Gemini twin double-sidedness. Not only does he function as Harry Potter's "other" side and nemesis--He also has the looks of an angel – the traditional blonde hair which none of the other characters have – but behaves like an angel's opposing twin. Another example of the twin flip side of Gemini.
Cancer – House Elf Dobby Cancer rules the home so naturally JK Rowling gave her one Cancerian birthday to the house elf, Dobby, whose birthday is June 28. Just like the Cancer crab with its shell of protection, Dobby is over-protective of Harry, worrying and fussing over him constantly. Dobby is similarly annoying and endearing, loving and crabby too!
JUNIORS:They’re mischievous and terrible. A noteworthy member being Zach Alvarez.
Leo – Rules All Harry Potter Leo is royal and courageous, represented by the lion, king of the animals – so it is fitting that Harry Potter has more Leos in it than any other sign. Harry Potter is the most powerful wizard at Hogwarts... and not only is he a Leo but so is his master creator, JK Rowling – with the same birthday of July 31 – and so is the actor who plays him, Daniel Radcliffe! .Harry's first true girlfriend Ginny Weasley is also a Leo, as is Neville Longbottom – both of whom, as befits Leo, have fought bravely to defeat the dark side.
SENIORS: are Gryffindor because they have amazing talent, are awesome and everyone wishes they were them. Eben gets a house to himself in Ravenclaw because he loves Ravenclaw (he is also Cedric Diggory).
Virgo – Get -it-Right Hermione When a Virgo cares, they criticize. Virgo's primal urges are to improve and to make better... and this includes their nearest and dearest. Hermione, the smartest and most critical girl at Hogwarts, exemplifies the traits of her September 19 birthday completely. Thus her constant haranguing of Ron over not being a "proper perfect." As we see in The Half-Blood Prince, she cares about Ron very much.

Libra – Professor Minerva McGonagall Professor McGonagall is the Head of Gryffindor house and a Deputy Head of Hogwarts. Her sign of Libra is represented by the scales of justice found in every court of law in our Muggle-Land. Libra is famous for being fiercely fair and well-mannered, with charms galore.
Fill in the grid so that each row, column, and region contains each of the letters in HARRY POTTER. Note Scorpio – Molly Weasley that the letter 'T' will appear twice As is said about those born late October to midNovember, "Never underestimate a Scorpio." And this is and the letter 'R' will appear thrice precisely what must be said about Molly Weasley, born October 30. Even though she is a devoted mother – the in each row, column, and region. name Molly suggests the expression "mollycoddle" – home schooling her seven children in addition to taking in Harry and Hermione – she is, like any Scorpio, never to be crossed.
Sagittarius – Hagrid Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the most giant planet in our whole solar system. Jupiter is 1300 times the size of Earth and weighs twice as much as all the other planets combined. Thus the half-giant Hagrid could only be Sagittarius! His birthday is December 6. Rowling has given him Sadge's other defining characteristics too... he is kind, innocent, open, and just a bit irresponsible.
Capricorn – Professor Severus Snape Professor Severus Snape's birthday is on January 9, and as you know, he had a very difficult childhood and worked for the dark side. Only 36, he seems older – terse, unfeeling and sinister. Capricorn is famous for being born old and growing younger as they age, as well as for being excellent and exhaustive at work.
Aquarius – Arthur Weasley Arthur's birthday is February 9. He is the head of the pure-blood Weasley household and an officer at the Ministry of Magic. Just like a true Aquarian, he is visionary, open-minded, easy-going, individualistic, doesn't care what others think and is curious – especially about Muggles! He reveals his humanitarian side best by supporting everyone in an environment where everyone takes sides.
