Harry Potter Phenomenon Sweeps the Nation as Millions Get Ready for the Release of ?Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?
Hollywood, CA (ContentDesk) July 27, 2005 --
Mark your calendar for November 18, 2005. That's when millions of Harry Potter fans all across the country will be waiting in line at their favorite theatre to see "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Directed by Mike Newell, this is the fourth installment to the Harry Potter series.On July 18, 2000, millions again waited on lines. But this time, it was at their favorite bookstore as an unprecedented three million copies of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" were sold in the first 48 hours of release, winning the title of "fastest-selling book in history" ? a title later claimed by yet another Harry Potter book.In this pivotal fourth novel in the seven-part tale, Cinematographer Roger Pratt uses innovative Cooke S4 Prime lenses to capture Harry Potter's training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush, and find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at Hogwarts this year, an event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for a hundred years.
He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal ? even by wizarding standards.This is Pratt's second affiliation with Harry Potter as he also was the cinematographer for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," which was released in 2002.Cooke is a storied name in both cinemagraphic and the ultra-high-end professional photography markets.

Bifocal and Toric Contact Lenses Offer More Options for All Eyes
Two of the most common contact lens prescriptions prescribed for people today are for the eye conditions of presbyopia and astigmatism. Modern technology has made bifocal and toric contact lens designs available in both the rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses and the soft lenses, offering more options and wear schedules then ever before.
Only a small percentage of people prefer the rigid gas permeable lenses to the soft contacts. The reason being that the RGP lenses retain their shape over the cornea more successfully than do the soft lenses, and are said to provide crisper vision to people with the eye condition astigmatism. However the majority of people prefer the soft lenses as they come in more choices and take less time to adjust.
Presbyopia is a condition that occurs as the eye's lens grows older and starts to lose some of its elasticity, which is needed to switch focus between viewing near and far objects. About one hundred million Americans...
