So I hear that today is the day that Harry Potter comes to that rather large screen we all over pay to sit in front of and see a movie. The funny thing is that everyone thinks I know all about it because I am from England.
In all actuality I have never even picked up the book (unless my sister left it on the floor and I was vacuuming and I moved to vacuum underneath like the amazing son I am) and probably never will. Never really been into reading much, I read Michael Schumacher's biography once, that was awesome. Can't remember reading much else. Even those books we had to read in school I just watched the movie versions or when I was really young pretend I could not read and have the mother read to me....
Then there is the movie version of Harry Potter. I think I went to see it once, though I could be completely wrong. If I did I paid no attention whatsoever and can't remember a thing about it.
I have nothing against the kid, I have nothing against people wearing glasses or people waving sticks in the air trying to make a bunny jump out of their pointy hats, I just never really tried to get into the book or movie. But maybe I should. I heard some of the movies have quite a lot of action and I love action. So maybe one day I'll give it a go. But unlike 50% of the population I am not going to line up for the next 6 weeks to see it. I'll check it out later me thinks.
I do have one piece of bad news for you all. I saw the ending in my dream the other day. Mr Pothead dies......
Great post! I never jumped on the band wagon either. But my wife and I decided to get up to speed so this last week I've watched the first 7 movies and I'm glad I did it this way. Instead of reading the books, waiting every 2 years for the movies to come out - I was able to do all of that in a week. Therefore the last decade of my life was spent doing other things besides worrying about "whats going to happen next", yet I was still able to appreciate the Harry Potter movement in a week.
