There is much happiness in the land of Philip Pullman fans!

The movie of "The Golden Compass," the first book in Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy opens Dec. 7.

So there's plenty of time to visit the movie Web site at www.goldencompassmovie.com and discover your daemon. Answer a few questions and voila! Your daemon is revealed. (Mine is a snow leopard; how cool.).

You can also watch a really neat movie trailer.

And there's still plenty of time to re-read "The Golden Compass" before Dec. 7.

See you in line at the movie!
