The Harry Potter Phenomenon Oddly enough, I started TheBachelorGirl.com with roughly the same circumstances as this present period, i.e., Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was going to be released so Harry Potter fever was in the air.
So the first couple of posts on 11 July 2005 were about Harry Potter — the Harry Potter Trivia Contest and Reserve Harry Potter 6 at Powerbooks
A query whether they could borrow Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows after I’ve finished reading it brought home the fact that I haven’t made any book reservation nor bought a ticket to the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film.
I tried to rectify the situation on 05 July 2007 by passing by Powerbooks Greenbelt to ask whether they will open at 7am (the same time when Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was made available) on 21 July 2007, the day when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be officially released worldwide.
BBC called the search for the female actor to play Bloody Mary in the 2001 West End revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific a “nightmare” but director Trevor Nunn was finally able to heave a sigh of relief when he found Sheila Francisco.
Well known in Philippine theatre for her superb singing and dramatic presence onstage, Sheila Francisco impressed the London critics with her depiction of a mother who is determined to marry off her “native” daughter to a US soldier, while figuring prominently in the musical’s boiling cauldron of racial issues.
