Crush This: Replace Awkward Family Dinner Silences With Disney Movies

Crush This is your weekly guide to what’s coming in music, movies and TV in the week to come. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows finally hit theaters today, and we’ve already made you a list of reasons to go see it. But if you can’t think of anything to do between now and Thanksgiving, don’t fret. Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday to stress about.
