Brothers James Pfleger, left, and Luke Pfleger practice ballet technique at a  lesson studio in Bellevue. - Chad Coleman/Bellevue Reporter Jun 26 2009, 10:29 AM Bellevue brothers Luke and James Pfleger began learning ballet at an early age, following in the footsteps of their older sisters. They danced for Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB) in Seattle for seven years before leaving to pursue one-on-one training. The brothers are now taught in a small studio setting in Bellevue by ballet coach Deborah Hadley, a former Principal Dancer with PNB.

Hadley counts off to the fast pace beat of the music as she walks around instructing her students on proper form and technique.

"Good James, very nice form," Hadley says from across the room. "Keep your shoulders relaxed."

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince highly entertaining
Jul 17 2009, 11:51 AM Finally! The sixth movie installment in the Harry Potter series has arrived.

“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” has all the action and struggles we’ve missed throughout the year and more. The “Harry Potter” series, as most of you know, is about a boy wizard named Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe, who escaped death from Voldemort, an evil wizard, because of his mother’s love and his two best friends, Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Waston). Now he learns he is the Chosen One, and must defeat the menace Voldemort once and for all, or be defeated himself.

The sixth film starts right where the fifth ended, with his Headmaster Dumbledor (Michael Gambon) of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, after a duel with “The Dark Lord,” and sadly the opening was a grim scene much like the rest of the film, but it was astounding.
