Good small poster calendar
I like the Harry Potter movies and I wanted a calendar for a small space. This 2009 calendar is certainly more than adequate for me. It measures 7" x 14" when fully opened and if you'd rather carry it around, it folds to a 7" x 7" booklet.

I felt a little let down when I realized that the calendar has no scenes from the upcoming movie, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." However, it has handsome, individual portraits of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy. Also, I was happy to see that the publishers included adult characters too. The calendar features Dumbledore, Tonks, Remus Lupin, Severus Snape and Bellatrix Lestrange. I have to say that I'm not sure how many of these portraits are new. But I did notice one that had appeared in the "Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix Movie Poster Book."

Overall, I think this mini wall calendar will make a nice gift for any Harry Potter fan. It'll certainly come in handy when it's time to tick off the days left before the new HP movie opens.

Delightful, if Repetitive
To be completely honest, I bought this calendar for the pictures. I don't ever use calendars for keeping track of time. In short, the date keeping part is pretty average. 30 or so days in a month with all seven days of the week . . .

Pictures, though! This calendar does NOT have the same pictures in it as the larger version (This one: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: 2009 Wall Calendar), which is a good thing . . . and kind of a bad thing. Instead, each picture is of a single character on some vibrant colored background with an intense look on their face and a wand in their hand. They're good pictures, but they're all essentially the same. It is nice, though, that it's almost like a pattern.

It isn't exactly outstanding, but it's definitely worth the price!

Better than nothing
The 2009 Harry Potter mini wall calendar is probably better than nothing, but I miss pictures from the HBP. It is good to have a Harry Potter calendar in the spot on the wall where I'm used to seeing Harry and friends. Can't wait til the 2010 edition is published. Avia
