...Prince.” Kloves has exercised more artistic freedom than ever in this film, cutting memorable storylines (including trips through the pensieve to Voldemort’s tragic childhood and family history), and introducing entirely new scenes (such as when the Death Eaters attack the Weasleys’ home). But overall, Kloves’ changes contribute to a much more compact film; “Deathly Hallows” is the first in the series to progress at an adequate pace rather than at the speed of a Golden Snitch.

But when reminded that Bush's father, President George H.W. Bush, broadcast a similar speech to the nation's pupils, Dean says, "That was different. It was, if I remember, largely a say-no-to-drugs speech...
...official strategy has been to focus local outrage away from Urumqi's Uighur population and toward Rebiya Kadeer, a U.S.-based Uighur rights activist who China blames for instigating the violence - a claim she denies. But as this week's unrest shows, there's still plenty anger at home for them to worry about...
