The Boy Who Lived

(i wonder how many people will have blog posts about HP & more specifically w/ this title?)

On Saturday, July 16th at 2:40pm- Joel, me, mom & dad skousen went to see the FINAL installment of the HARRY POTTER series... Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows- Part 2. To say it was ah-mazing would be an understatement! I loved it so so much... you don't even know!!!

I LOVE HARRY POTTER!!! If I could be a part of any book/ movie series, it would be Harry Potter... hands down! If you did not know about my HP obsession, well then... you do NOT know me at all!!! I use to wear HP underwear, I play HP UNO, I own all the books & most the movies (we're waiting for a blu-ray box set to come out & buy that... sa-weet!), and I have weekly dreams about the characters & going to Hogwarts... I think I must have been a HOGWARTS student in a previous life! Boy- do I wish that was true!

Now I don't want you to be fooled... just because I did NOT go to the midnight showing thursday of HP, that in no way means I'm not a die-hard fan! I just know my limitations & that I had to wake up the next day at 5:00am in order to get ready for work! I so wish I could've... but if I did I most definitely would've had to call into work the next day. Even though I was subject to seeing HP 7.2 on Saturday, it did not make it any less wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed the movie!!! The only complaint I have is that it should've been 2 hours longer or been made in to 3 movies. How awesome would that have been?
As far as movies go... I'm not going to have anything to look forward to each year!!!

happy b/c it was superb!!!

All of last week seemed to go by at a snail’s pace b/c I was so anxious for the movie. I knew it would be a difficult time for me though b/c I have such mixed emotions about the whole thing. I was bursting from the seams with anticipation to see the movie, but the reality that THIS is the VERY LAST HARRY POTTER movie was at the forefront of my mind! My excitement was stifled by the sadness I felt for my journey with Harry, Ron & Hermione ending after such a long love we shared! (we had a good run while it lasted) This was a very bitter sweet weekend for me... one which I shall NEVER forget!

*tear* sad that it's all over! *tear*

If only J.K Rowling would write a prequel to HP about Harry's parents & the Order of the Phoenix dealing with Voldemort (oops... I mean- "He who must not be named") back then... I think that would bring me out of this depression of mine!

Don't you think that's a "BRILLANT" idea?

We had a good run Harry & me... but I guess all good things must come to an end! [insert cheese factor here] Except for me & my Joel Reuby! [end of cheesiness] I will just have to join Harry in our special world through the books now... but I've ALMOST come to terms with this fact! The books are fantastic so I cannot get into too deep of a depression.
I will just have to convince Joel to take me to Universal Studios --

The Wizarding World of HARRY POTTER!!!

that'd be WICKED awesome

Doesn't this just get you all giddy... yet break your heart at the same time?
