I'm feeling a bit mixed about this movie. Or maybe my expectations were too high, I'm not sure quite yet. As everyone likely knows, the sixth Harry Potter movie opened yesterday with sold-out midnight screenings in Muncie. CAUTION! SPOILERS AHEAD!

If you've turned on the TV in the last month and watched even five minutes of national TV news programming, you've likely been bombarded with one of two scenes: Michael Jackson's death or the protests in Iran.
