71 Days until Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I was reading an article about a "Magnificent mummy found in Egypt" and came across this link about how to make a mummy. Not your mom you know, but the mummy. Anyway, thought it's quite interesting and I'll post the steps here:

-Wash the body with water to purify it

-Cut the body and remove the liver, lungs, intestine and stomach
Put these organs into four separate jars

-Insert a hooked tool into the person's nose and pull out their brains. Throw the brains away

-Cover the body with the salty mixture called "natron" to drain it. Let it drain for 40 days

-Wrap the body in bandages from head to toe

-Decorate the body with a mask and designs which are suitable for the person's life and social status

Wondered how the brain is going to come out through the nose or wherever? O.o

CBBC Newsround also happen to have some news on the fourth Potter film. We get an insight into more of the characters here. Here's Emma [Hermione]:

"Hermione's more of a mother figure for Harry, and spends most of her time worrying about him.

"She kind of has a boyfriend in this film, which for Ron and Harry is a bit of a shock. Especially for Ron, who has only just realised she's a girl."

And here's a Sneak Peek for you!

Also, it has been confirmed that Dan will return for the fifth Potter film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix. Excellent piece of news.

Till then, look forward to the weekend!
