More hocus pocus

Published



Our hero gets his first real kiss and yet another person he dearly loves dies in the fifth cinematic adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s modern kid lit phenomenon about a magical young dude known as Harry Potter.

But for true fans, these headlines from the movie based on the author’s “The Order of the Phoenix” are old news. Today’s multiplex indulgence really only serves as an anticlimactic appetizer to anyone who is following the larger story. Because the main course, the only scoop that matters, finally arrives in 10 days when the seventh and last installment of the fantasy book series “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” arrives. That’s when aficionados find out whether everybody’s favorite bespectacled teen wizard lives or dies.
