TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, November 17, 2010

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Is anyone else excited about the new Harry Potter movie
being released this weekend? I was just checking out some
photos from the movie's premiere, and I can't get over how
grown-up the stars look now. Harry is not a little boy wizard
anymore! My friends and I are reserving tickets to see it
this Saturday. It's going to stink having to wait for part 2
to be released, but I'm glad they didn't try to cram it all
into one movie!

Enjoy!
Melissa
