The band has produced four critically acclaimed albums and toured nationally. Original guitarist and vocalist Donald, drummer Ralph and bassist Kenneth, all brothers, have blazed a modern trail of powerful, original radio-friendly music aimed at grabbing both die-hard blues fans and rockers who love supercharged guitar and bone-shaking vocals.

favorite in the Jefferson County area. Jennifer grew up singing the hardcore country songs of Tanya Tucker and Patsy Cline on stage with her dad. She eventually would branch out and start her own band, Jen & Tonic, which was popular throughout the area. After several years of success, she took time off to start a family. Thompson would ease back into music as a member of her brother Jim’s rock band Twister before putting together her own band again. Thompson loves where she is at with the Glendale Riders, a band of talented musicians who love to harmonize, especially on songs by Alabama and the Eagles. They are one of the few bands that perform Rodney Carrington covers.

Thompson said. “My Zumba dance partner found out about auditions for next season and she signed me up. I thought about it and figured I’d give it a shot. Music is in my blood. I can’t give it up.” The auditions are July 29 and 30 in Nashville. She hasn’t been notified of the exact location but figures it will be at the Wildhorse Saloon. She plans to go down a few days early, stay at a friend’s condo and visits a few clubs before making a final decision on songs for her tryout. “You get to choose your own material. I may try something pop or an old rock song. I just don’t know yet,” she said. “Country music is my bread-and-butter, but I’m not afraid to whip out Norah Jones or Colbie Caillat.” Thompson is the daughter of Bill Thompson, leader of the Country Flame band, a longtime

Out of habit, she picks up the television remote and flips through the channels. Thompson has made countless trips to Nashville to pursue her musical dream.

The Final Chapter
BY ADAM TESTA THE SOUTHERN
T
‘Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ makes Potter series a true classic ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ **** Rated PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence and frightening images; starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Ralph Fiennes; directed by David Yates; opening Friday at ShowPlace 8 in Carbondale and AMC Centre 8 in Marion BY COLIN COVERT MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
W
ith its haunted vistas, clanking battles, inspired effects, heroism, treachery, fragile alliances and moral ambiguity, the blockbuster finale of the Harry Potter saga achieves a supernatural splendor. The series has sputtered here and there over the last decade, losing its focus and tempo, but this climax is a triumph of spectacle and well-earned sentiment. “Potter” is the anti-“Transformers,” high adventure with heart and soul to spare. Daniel Radcliffe has matured into a solid actor, impressive in tense scenes of deadly combat and quiet moments of subtle, shifting emotion. He puts those skills to good use in Harry’s showdown with Lord Voldemort, the snake-faced tyrant who killed Harry’s parents and aims to crush the world beneath his heel. With Hermione (Emma Watson, her iron-jawed selfconfidence draining away) and Ron (Rupert Grint, whose befuddled expression suits his overwhelmed character) Harry returns to Hogwarts to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, the containers in which Voldemort has hidden fragments of his malignant soul. How the school has changed from the joyous theme park of old. Dementors float above the courtyard, their tattered shrouds trailing like jellyfish tentacles. Students march in prison camp formation. Overseeing it all from a high window is Voldemort’s ally, Prof. Snape (Alan Rickman, delivering each line of dialog as if savoring a plum). His expression is stoic but ... could that be a flicker of regret? The story has an epic war-movie feel, as Voldemort’s army strikes back against Harry’s student and staff rebellion. Director David Yates keeps the ebb and flow of combat clear; for all its blitzkreig energy, the battle never feels incoherent. What distinguishes this from other summer shrapnel-fests is the way it follows individuals that we care about through the conflict. Second fiddles Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) and Prof. McGonagall (Maggie Smith) step forward to play pivotal roles. The film creates a world where heroism and deceit spring from unexpected sources. It’s one of the glories of the

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ opens Friday.
Potter series that it can deliver a childlike sense of wonder without requiring a childish black-and-white worldview. And what wonders are on display! The power bolts, spells and invisibility cloaks are beautifully realized, absurd yet persuasive. The brutish ogres and giant tarantulas Voldemort unleashes in the final battle inspire genuine shivers of fear. And there are witty miracles; the dragon demolition of Gringott’s goblin bank is a riotous image of a corrupt financial firm’s collapse. When Hermione transforms herself into a double of Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) for a spy mission, Bonham Carter plays Watson impersonating Bellatrix to hilarious effect. Near the climax, Harry’s mentor Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) returns in a vision to advise the young wizard that words are potent forms of enchantment, rich with the power to hurt or heal. Here the secret of the series is revealed. If the Potter franchise had been cooked up in a studio pitch meeting with storyboards and visual-effects demos, it could never become the generation-defining phenomenon that it is. It captured the imagination of an era like no cultural event since Beatlemania because it stands on a solid million-word foundation created by J.K. Rowling. She put story and character front and center, and when they’re succeeding, the Potter films do, too. For all the movies’ dazzle and flash and Hippogriffs, the characters are more vivid than the special effects. It is our emotional involvement with the threedimensional heroes and villains, sidekicks and background players that draws us back time after time. The final chapter ends with an epilogue that puts a lump in your throat and makes you want to watch them all again from the beginning. That’s the definition of a classic.

onight at midnight, an era comes to an end. Fourteen years after the release of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” the fictitious young wizard and his band of unlikely hero companions continue to captivate the interest of audiences of all ages. The Harry Potter series seemed destined for success from the beginning. Author J.K. Rowling, an unknown writer, struck gold by creating a world complete with realistic characters struggling against problems both of the “Muggle” world and the realm of witchcraft and wizardry. By 2001, the first book had been transformed into a theatrical release, and the franchise boomed to new heights. Now, the final film of the franchise, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II,” hits theaters at midnight, and fans in Southern Illinois find themselves filled with mixed emotions. Seventeen-year-old Paige Beuligmann of Carterville remembers her parents reading “Sorcerer’s Stone” aloud to her as a child, and as soon as she could read on her own, she picked up the rest of the books. With tickets and Gryffindor shirts in hand, she and her friends are excited for opening day. “I’m also sad at the same time,” she said. “The books ended (in 2007), but I always had
the movies to look forward to, and now they’re coming to an end, too.” For Beuligmann, Potter has been almost like a childhood friend, as they’ve grown up together. Rowling also succeeded in crafting a tale that conveys with potential to sway young readers with positive role models and influences. “I’ve grown up with Harry Potter,” Beuligmann said. “I’m part of the Potter Generation, as they call it. It’s been a part of who I am. The message just really hit home.” Twenty-five-year-old Lauren Kemp of Carbondale knows the feeling. She began reading the Potter books in sixth grade as part of an accelerated reading program and has been a fan ever since. The latter movies became somewhat of a tradition, too, as she and her now-husband would see them together on opening night.

They plan to do the same Friday, as they’ll travel to St. Louis to watch the final scenes of the franchise unfold on an IMAX screen. She often talks with friends about the translations of the books to movie form, and while she understands the length of the novels and intricate subplots are too much to fit into a twohour movie, there’s one element she really hopes
to see shine through in this last movie. “They’ve made Harry out to be kind of a pansy,” she said. “He never does anything on his own; he relies on everyone else. That’s not how he is in the books.

‘Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ makes Potter series a true classic ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ **** Rated PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence and frightening images; starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Ralph Fiennes; directed by David Yates; opening Friday at ShowPlace 8 in Carbondale and AMC Centre 8 in Marion BY COLIN COVERT MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
W
ith its haunted vistas, clanking battles, inspired effects, heroism, treachery, fragile alliances and moral ambiguity, the blockbuster finale of the Harry Potter saga achieves a supernatural splendor. The series has sputtered here and there over the last decade, losing its focus and tempo, but this climax is a triumph of spectacle and well-earned sentiment. “Potter” is the anti-“Transformers,” high adventure with heart and soul to spare. Daniel Radcliffe has matured into a solid actor, impressive in tense scenes of deadly combat and quiet moments of subtle, shifting emotion. He puts those skills to good use in Harry’s showdown with Lord Voldemort, the snake-faced tyrant who killed Harry’s parents and aims to crush the world beneath his heel. With Hermione (Emma Watson, her iron-jawed selfconfidence draining away) and Ron (Rupert Grint, whose befuddled expression suits his overwhelmed character) Harry returns to Hogwarts to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, the containers in which Voldemort has hidden fragments of his malignant soul. How the school has changed from the joyous theme park of old. Dementors float above the courtyard, their tattered shrouds trailing like jellyfish tentacles. Students march in prison camp formation. Overseeing it all from a high window is Voldemort’s ally, Prof. Snape (Alan Rickman, delivering each line of dialog as if savoring a plum). His expression is stoic but ... could that be a flicker of regret? The story has an epic war-movie feel, as Voldemort’s army strikes back against Harry’s student and staff rebellion. Director David Yates keeps the ebb and flow of combat clear; for all its blitzkreig energy, the battle never feels incoherent. What distinguishes this from other summer shrapnel-fests is the way it follows individuals that we care about through the conflict. Second fiddles Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) and Prof. McGonagall (Maggie Smith) step forward to play pivotal roles. The film creates a world where heroism and deceit spring from unexpected sources. It’s one of the glories of the

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ opens Friday.
Potter series that it can deliver a childlike sense of wonder without requiring a childish black-and-white worldview. And what wonders are on display! The power bolts, spells and invisibility cloaks are beautifully realized, absurd yet persuasive. The brutish ogres and giant tarantulas Voldemort unleashes in the final battle inspire genuine shivers of fear. And there are witty miracles; the dragon demolition of Gringott’s goblin bank is a riotous image of a corrupt financial firm’s collapse. When Hermione transforms herself into a double of Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) for a spy mission, Bonham Carter plays Watson impersonating Bellatrix to hilarious effect. Near the climax, Harry’s mentor Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) returns in a vision to advise the young wizard that words are potent forms of enchantment, rich with the power to hurt or heal. Here the secret of the series is revealed. If the Potter franchise had been cooked up in a studio pitch meeting with storyboards and visual-effects demos, it could never become the generation-defining phenomenon that it is. It captured the imagination of an era like no cultural event since Beatlemania because it stands on a solid million-word foundation created by J.K. Rowling. She put story and character front and center, and when they’re succeeding, the Potter films do, too. For all the movies’ dazzle and flash and Hippogriffs, the characters are more vivid than the special effects. It is our emotional involvement with the threedimensional heroes and villains, sidekicks and background players that draws us back time after time. The final chapter ends with an epilogue that puts a lump in your throat and makes you want to watch them all again from the beginning. That’s the definition of a classic.

onight at midnight, an era comes to an end. Fourteen years after the release of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” the fictitious young wizard and his band of unlikely hero companions continue to captivate the interest of audiences of all ages. The Harry Potter series seemed destined for success from the beginning. Author J.K. Rowling, an unknown writer, struck gold by creating a world complete with realistic characters struggling against problems both of the “Muggle” world and the realm of witchcraft and wizardry. By 2001, the first book had been transformed into a theatrical release, and the franchise boomed to new heights. Now, the final film of the franchise, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II,” hits theaters at midnight, and fans in Southern Illinois find themselves filled with mixed emotions. Seventeen-year-old Paige Beuligmann of Carterville remembers her parents reading “Sorcerer’s Stone” aloud to her as a child, and as soon as she could read on her own, she picked up the rest of the books. With tickets and Gryffindor shirts in hand, she and her friends are excited for opening day. “I’m also sad at the same time,” she said. “The books ended (in 2007), but I always had
the movies to look forward to, and now they’re coming to an end, too.” For Beuligmann, Potter has been almost like a childhood friend, as they’ve grown up together. Rowling also succeeded in crafting a tale that conveys with potential to sway young readers with positive role models and influences. “I’ve grown up with Harry Potter,” Beuligmann said. “I’m part of the Potter Generation, as they call it. It’s been a part of who I am. The message just really hit home.” Twenty-five-year-old Lauren Kemp of Carbondale knows the feeling. She began reading the Potter books in sixth grade as part of an accelerated reading program and has been a fan ever since. The latter movies became somewhat of a tradition, too, as she and her now-husband would see them together on opening night.

Ralph Fiennes plays Lord Voldemort (above). Emma Watson (bottom, from left) portrays Hermione Granger, Ruper Grint plays Ron Weasley and Daniel Radcliffe is Harry Potter.
They plan to do the same Friday, as they’ll travel to St. Louis to watch the final scenes of the franchise unfold on an IMAX screen. She often talks with friends about the translations of the books to movie form, and while she understands the length of the novels and intricate subplots are too much to fit into a twohour movie, there’s one element she really hopes
to see shine through in this last movie. “They’ve made Harry out to be kind of a pansy,” she said. “He never does anything on his own; he relies on everyone else. That’s not how he is in the books. We need to see him step up and really be the hero.” adam.testa@thesouthern.com 618-351-5031 On Twitter: AdamTestaSI

Co-writer/directors Stephen J. Anderson (“Meet the Robinsons) and Don Hall, with the help of five other credited screenwriters, emphasize Pooh’s literary roots, making Winnie work his way through paragraphs and pages of words — literal words that collapse into piles of letters at Pooh’s bidding. “Is there honey in this paragraph?” There had better be, because “I am a bear of very little brain and long words bother me,” he sighs. Voice actor Jim Cummings does a great impersonation of the late Sterling Holloway, the original Pooh, as well as Paul Winchell, the original voice of Tigger. The story is as simple as any Pooh picture. The bear is out of honey “and a Pooh bear takes care of his tummy.” But Pooh also has “a very important thing to do.” Sad old Eeyore (voiced by Bud Luckey) has lost his tail and the manic Rabbit (Tom Kenny) and verbose Owl (Craig Ferguson) make
various plans and proposals for rounding up a replacement. Eeyore is all about the puns this time out. A balloon as a substitute tail? “I’m still up in the air about it.” There’s a lovely little chalkboard animation interlude, some mild moments of alarm as Owl misreads “Back Soon” on Christopher Robin’s note as “Backson,” a beast that must have kidnapped the little boy who usually solves their problems for them. And Pooh sings, especially when he hallucinates about his favorite treat — “Everything is Honey.” It’s a funnier, more sophisticated and more nostalgic trip to the woods than “Pooh’s Heffalump Movie” or the most recent Tigger and Piglet pictures. The messages sink in about childish forgetfulness and putting the needs of others ahead of your own honey lust. Mainly, though, it’s nice to see that Disney wants to introduce tykes to the magic of going to the movies with family fare this gentle and warm. As always, “Pooh” stars in a very short movie, the idea being that like his youngest fans, he doesn’t have the attention span to carry a full-length feature. But this “Winnie the Pooh” is augmented by a delightful 2-D animated short, “The Ballad of Nessie,” a fanciful version of how the Loch Ness Monster came to create Loch Ness. “Nessie” is narrated in Dr. Seuss-style rhymes by Scottish comic Billy Connolly.

Al Parr’s Campus Lake photos on display at SIUC CARBONDALE — Al Parr of Carbondale doesn’t buy the “familiarity breeds contempt” concept. A retired Southern Illinois University Carbondale employee, Parr began taking daily walks around Campus Lake in 2006. It didn’t take long before he began to appreciate the beauty of the lake and the critters that call it home. A former photography student, Parr began documenting his walks with photographs. “I just go,” he said. “The opportunities just present themselves. I think the secret is, I just walk the lake so often, I’m so familiar. If anything out of the ordinary catches my eye, I’ll go investigate it.” Remarkably, most of Parr’s incredible photos are taken from the path surrounding the lake. “I seldom leave the trail, especially in the summer because of the poison ivy,” he said. “There is an awful lot to see out there. As small as it is, people are surprised I see as much as I do.” Now, Southern Illinoisans are invited to see Parr’s works for themselves, as nearly 80 of his photographs are on display in the Art Alley Gallery on the second floor of the SIUC Student Center. The photos will remain on display through Sept. 15. A reception is scheduled for 4:30 to 6 p.m. Friday, July 22. — The Southern
