[HPFGU-Movie] Bookshop find

[Richelle Votaw]

Well, would you believe I had no interest in Harry Potter at all until the
movie was about to come out?  On DVD?!?! Then I thought, well, better start
reading the books if you want to know what's going on.  And the rest is
history!

I haven't seen the magazine either, of course, since last October I'd no
clue what I was missing.  I will be alert this fall for coming magazines,
though!

Oh, on another movie note, I am a teacher and I got my first Scholastic book
order form for the fall today.  Guess what was on the front page?  Chamber
of Secrets Movie Poster book!  Guess what goes in the mail tomorrow?  Yep,
my order!
