You're a wizard, Harry

On Tuesday night / Wednesday morning, Priscilla and I went to a 12:01 a.m. showing of the latest Harry Potter movie.  It was SO fun!  The movie was showing in like 4 of the complex's 16 theaters, and everyone with HP tickets was having to run around from theater to theater, trying to find seats.  It was pretty funny.

I haven't read any of the books yet, I'm going to wait until Jake is older and we'll do it together. Lou has read the books and refuses to watch the movies -- he thinks the way I'm doing it is sacrilegde. (Also, I'm going to wait to buy the movies until they're all out and I'm sure there'll be a cool boxed set -- like there was with the Friends DVDs and that awesome box, which P and I think is SO unfair to the fans who were buying the seasons as they came out.  But WHATEVER.)

Wait, what was I talking about?

Priscilla has read all the books and I had to keep asking her what was going on. The movie did feel really disjointed to me, like they were jumping around too much, but I still really enjoyed it. I loved seeing how grown up the kids all looked -- and we had just watched the first movie before we left, so it was a huge difference.

I was glad it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, I don't do well with scary. LOL.  If you're wondering, I personally think the 8 to 10 year old crowd could handle it if they're not super-easily freaked out. And I was glad the movie ended on a fairly happy note (instead of all dark and twisty. LOL.)  It started out pretty dark and twisty, and I commented to P that J.K. Rowlings sure writes everyone awfully angsty.  Yes, that's a word.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next 2 movies and to finding out what happens in the 7th book.
