Somtimes, life comes full circle.

In February, I had a chance to visit the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in London, England and experience first-hand the magical world of Hogwarts. The magical world wasn't fiction anymore - I sat in Dumbledore's chair, touched the walls of the Great Hall. The universe was real.

Now, I'm back in London, having just seen the finished version of Deathly Hallows: Part I, and the experience is the same - Harry's world is real. All too real. You'll hear our full review closer to the movie's release, but for now, allow me to share my gut reactions, along with my friends Jenna Busch from Joblo and Andrew Sims of MuggleNet.

We're about to get you very, very excited for this movie.
