Don't forget to get your copy of "Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince" available on DVD & Blue Ray on 8 Dec 2009.

Synopsis:

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Even as the decisive showdown looms, romance blossoms for Harry, Ron, Hermione and their classmates. Love is in the air, but danger lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same.

Dear Grandma,
 
I am completely lost on this problem and don't have any idea as to what I can or should do.  I am a wizard with parents who are muggles.  I know the nasty names they call us, but that isn't the problem.  When I come home on break, either Christmas or Summer, my parents hit me with constant questions.  I can understand why they have so many questions, but how do I get them to stop constantly asking questions about the wizard life?  Some of them I don't know the answers to.
 
Sick of Questions
 

My Dear Sick of Questions,
 
Try to understand them even more.  You know your family loves you, if they didn't they wouldn't allow you to go to a wizarding school to begin with.  Then try to look at it from their perspective.  How would you be if you suddenly found yourself with an adopted brother or a sister who was an alien from Jupiter?  Would you not have a zillion questions about their life?  Whenever something or someone is living a life drastically different than any life you have known before there are bound to be questions that go through their heads and they want answers to them.
 
You can also sit your entire family down and let them know how their constant questions are making you feel.  Understanding why they are asking all the questions helps all of you in the long run.  Perhaps ask them to only ask you questions during dinner or for an hour after dinner when the whole family is there.  That way you only have to answer each question once instead of the same questions from everyone at different times.  This way you won't feel like you are being attacked by questions all the time and at the same time you can feel good about being home knowing that the questions will be asked at a certain time every day.
 
Most importantly you can always count on Grandma to talk with when all else fails.  You're real Grandma or me.  Even if your real Grandma isn't magical, you can count on her to love you no matter what, that is one of the most important things Grandmas do and do better than anyone else.....loving grandchildren is so easy for Grandmas too, they simply can't help themselves.  She will be there for you when the going gets rough even if the rough is silly questions that your muggle parents want to ask all the time.  If your real one can't understand then you can always come to me.  I will be here for anyone to talk with at any time.

WOW Half Blood Prince Demo game is out. Thanks to shaheel16 for posting the link in the forum for it.

Dueling in the Demo:
After finishing the Dueling portion of the demo and I must say the graphics looked really good and game play was pretty easy. Spell casting is not too bad on this one either. You only get to practice 2 spells in the demo but it's enough to get a feel for the game play.

Quidditch in the Demo:
Playing the Seeker in the game demo was not bad. You only get to catch a snitch and bump the other teams Seeker around a bit and basically all you need to do is fly through the stars and catch up to the snitch and you will end this level of the demo. Hopefully it will have a lot more to do in the release but for what it was it was not bad at all. Graphically it was very good as well. Smooth motion no stutter in the graphics.
