Harry Potter the last movie

[sana]

I think I've only read the first paragraph of the first book, then I stopped and started reading something else...

We have Harry Potter from 1-6, and I only watch a few scenes and then I start watching some other movie...

I wanna see the last movie because I want to know what's so magical and soo great about it that everybody's so loving it.

I feel like I have to chime in here. For a while there, the HP fandom was pretty much my whole social life (lol Doctor Who/Torchwood's taken that role over)

I mean, I listen to so much wrock (Wizard Rock, songs about or inspired by character and events in the books) Learned to knit to make myself a house scarf, attended midnight releases of the last two books, used to be active in the fanfiction community, listened to MuggleCast religiously, (I first heard the info that DH would be two films on that podcast!) have a HP inspired tattoo, and used to listen to the audiobooks as read by Jim Dale to fall asleep to literally every night for over a year.

But I never could get too into the movies. So for me it's not omgmychildhoodisooooover!!! like so many people I know are going on about. For me, the golden age was 2006-2008.

So no, I haven't seen it yet, but I probably will when my mom and sisters come to visit in two weeks.

That's not to say I'm not a fan. I've just sort of been hanging over here in the corner, unwavering but not as hardcore in my enthusiasm for it as I was before.

You don't need to be a child to appreciate Harry Potter, you know. I could relate to being a misfit; also I share a surname with one of the characters!

I'll go see it when it comes to our theatre.
I should go to the movies more (I go about twice a year).
I get two free movie tickets every day, so I should use them eh ???

I saw the first six movies before ever opening a book. I finished all but the seventh book when the seventh movie came out, then I finished the seventh book before seeing the eighth movie. I went with friends on Thursday to see the double feature (Part one at 9pm, Part two at midnight). It was awesome. I love fantasy books and movies, and I love the whole world that was created from scratch. Great books, great movies.

I seriously HATE tea - in any way, shape, or form! Hot or iced or in between - even the smell of it makes my stomach do flip-flops. Don't even try to hide it in a punch either - I can tell with just a tiny sip! ICK!!! I believe my aversion to it stems back to when I was just a kid, and my mother used to try to get me to drink it when I had an upset stomach and I could never keep it down.
Yes - I am an oddity - since just about everyone I know of, likes tea. ICK-ICK-ICK!!!!

Okay girl, I was going to invite you to come visit my friend in Britain but you just lost your plane seat...you just gotta love tea if you go to Britain or you won't survive -

I doubt you will like the last movie any more than you did any of the others you've watched bits of. It's not for everyone . . . nothing is. If you're not into it, you're not into it. As for what is great about it that everybody loves it, it's different for every person, I would imagine. I personally love the magic of it, the creation of an entire world from scratch. I'm a lover of imagination, and the books and movies are full to the brim. And, I love stories that stretch out over a series of books and movies, not just start and finish in one book or movie. And I love that the recurring theme throughout all the books and movies is L.O.V.E.

You don't like tea - you don't do planes - I'll have to think of something more interesting to tempt you . Ahem...did you feel up to doing a few casinos in AC?

well daughter has just gone to see it right now, she is not a huge fan, but all her friends going and wanted her to come, will let you know what she thinks.

I have been running into a few people making fun of the fans lately, (not here, other sites) and I'm sorry, but it's some of our childhoods, literally. I was introduced to it in 1998. I made friends, met people, learned how to not be a social outcast because of these books, and quite frankly, when this all happens during the most difficult and (for me dark and depressed) times of your life, it's going to mean a lot to you.

My daughter said the movie was pretty good.

And even if it's not your childhood, it bothers me when people tease others for being passionate about something. Sports fans dress up in jerseys, hats and face paint, people dress up in cultural garb for celebrations and special events, for Halloween (and I remember Fasching in Germany, too), for Renaissance festivals, etc. I never really understood why people (especially grown adults) felt the need to make fun of people who dress up for anything. It's fun for those people, even if you don't think so! I even kinda get why kids do it to each other, because kids can just be cruel or they're buckling under peer pressure. But, it kills me when adults make fun. At some point, it's important to evolve.
