My brother and I both remember it as a book before it was a movie, for example the skinny beast thing at the feast, when she looks up and sees the paintings of it eating the babies, I remember the book explaining that, and the feast and why it was all tinted red.

Also I remember the girl enchanted with fairytails learning that she was a moon princess, and the book describing the fawn as being tall, which at the time perplexed me since I had always thought of fawns as being rather short.

The entire movie was so firmiliar, and it seemed to hint at more than it could show, like additional stories from the little girl and the paintings on the ceiling of the feast room.

I have tried a few searches, but it does not give credit to a book that it was baised upon, (that I could find)
Please I know that I read this book, what was its original title?

An unforgettable student no one remembers...a pizza loving soccer player with a fuzzy alter ego...a possessed football player bent on world domination...Jessie never realized her senior year of high school would be so interesting.....

Jessie Connor is a Senior with a lot on her mind. In addition to her classes and graduation she's been subjected to the class bully whose locker is now next to hers, a best friend who has decided to go goth and parents whose marriage is unraveling at the seems. Despite all this the biggest distraction in Jessie's life is the new student, Wesley Peterson, former resident of France (gotta love that accent!) and cutie extraordinaire. Jessie knows that there is something different about Wesley that she just can't figure out. When mysterious deaths begin happening around Leeland High School Jessie suspects Wesley may have something to do with them. But, when she learns the truth about Wesley it is far stranger than she could have ever imagined.

In Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 day's" "At the reverend's, Passepartout learns that he is mistaken in the date, which he takes to be Sunday but which actually is Saturday due to the fact that the party traveled east, thereby gaining a full day on their journey around the globe, by crossing the International Date Line."

Is this possible or truly fiction? If true would the same be said if you traveled West and would be older then you think?

I read the Chapter Spinner's End (HBP) again, and there seems to be some intense chemistry going on between Snape and Narcissa. He lifted her from her kneeling position, placed her on the sofa... she kissed his hand... he took a most dangerous oath for her son. This has to be a big clue as to who the love of Snape's love is.

Throughout he behaves with her in a most chivalrous fashion. I also feel Narcissa knew he had a soft corner for her, and was trying to use it to her advantage.

Alternative Interpretations?
Man helping damsel in distress (After all, all men get somewhat scared and easy to manipulate when women cry or look depressed.)
Snape tried to silence Bellatrix's suspicions once and for all... what better way than taking this oath?

Anyways tell me what you think.

I've written one novel, rewritten it, and started two others. My first novel is part of a series that covers individual patients in a psychiatric hospital, and how they came to end up there. Since I went to college for psychology (grad and undergrad) I am hoping it lends credibility to my writing. The first novel illustrates a man that suffers a brief psychotic episode losing everything he had in a 24 hour period-he even suffers from hallucinations, sharing dialog with a seagull whom he believes is following him. The second novel is about Claire, another resident of the hospital, whom bears a terrifying resemblance to Susan Smith (the american woman who drown her children in a lake then said she was car jacked.) Well, that's what I'm up to. I feel like I have 100 more stories inside and write everyday. I just need a foot in the door with an agent. I have the writers market and am working on a query letter - how do I copyright this as well? Thanks for any advice out there!
