Harry Potter

 Monday, July 5, 2010

I was very reluctant to fall into the Harry Potter crowd around the time book 4 was written. I thought the story of a little boy going to wizarding school was a bit too little-kiddish for me. A friend convinced me to go the the movie theaters to see the first movie and I was intrigued. It took 3 movies before I decided to read the books, for research purposes of course, I wanted to be an author and I wanted to see what it was about these books that made them so fascinating. I finished up to the 5th book and was hooked. I had been working at a bookstore and had to work the Book 6 release party, I bought my copy but decided to wait til the 7th book was closer so that I wouldn't have to deal with the suspense, however with customers coming in and telling me "I couldn't believe Harry this" or "I can't believe Snape this" or "Dumbledore..." That I finally read it. Having learned my lesson the first time when the 7th book came out I went home and read it cover to cover in 12 hours so no one could spoil anything this time. I was sad that the series was over, but happy with the ending, I thought the King's Cross chapter was pointless the first time I read it, of course it was like 9am after reading it none stop since 1am, but it made more sense the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th times that I read it. I've actually lost count as to how many times I have read each book.

Yesterday I finally got to see the preview for the last 2 movies(since they're splitting the last book into 2 films) and I was sooooooo excited! It was before the new Twilight:Eclipse movie and I must say I liked the preview more than the movie. So here it is, I am a nerd, I love Harry Potter and I'm not ashamed to say it!

i'm with you on that one. Someone forced me to read book one just after six came out. I read all six books in two weeks--exactly. and I read book seven in 14 hours--from 1:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. the day it came out, so I understand SOOOOOOOOOOO completely. That series is one of the best series out there. JK Rowling is kind of a genius, yeah? I mean, the way she added layer upon layer to the characters and how she made each book grow in its maturity and how she managed to make us fall in love with the characters. I mean WOW is pretty much all that you can say to describe its fabulosity.
i am also a HP nerd. I like to call us Potterheads. ;-)
