I meant to report on this much earlier, but over my birthday weekend I got to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. And was it ever amazing! Probably my favorite of the movies so far. The few people I've talked to who weren't absolutely in love with it said that the slowness of it was part of the problem. While I think this is a valid point, it didn't detract from my love.
There were so many things to love! Beautiful scenery, all the Harry's, Bill Weasley!, George Weasley drinking coffee (tea?) with something sticking out his ear hole, Ron gazing at Hermione, scary Nagini, crazy Bellatrix, terrified Lucius Malfoy, even more terrified Draco Malfoy, Dobby and Creacher, Ron gazing at Hermione (wait did I say that already?), the much improved acting of all 3 of our main characters,the scariness, the tears, all the Polyjuice potion, the ministry of magic, Luna and her dad, and much more!
Okay, I could post a BILLION more pictures (I think these are all from listall.com)
After I saw the movie, I asked Karen (she's the assistant to the Library Director and she is awesome) if she had seen the movie yet and she revealed a horrible secret to me...She has only read/seen the first Harry Potter! Well, as you know, this is unacceptable! So together we are reading them (well listening) together and when we finish each book we'll probably watch the corresponding movie! This is so great because, except for Goblet of Fire, I've never reread a HP book! And I read Harry Potter and the Soceror's Stone when it was first published in America...that was 1999, you guys! You were all 4-6 year olds!
I'm thinking of posting a quick entry for each book as I finish complete with what I remembered thinking of the book when I first read it and my thoughts on it now that I've finished the series. What do you think?
