As you know by now, unless you live under a rock - in which case I'd question how you're reading this blog, the Harry Potter series has finally come to an end. The movie series, that is. J.K. Rowling's book series ended July 21, 2007 with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, my personal favorite book in the series followed by Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Having been an avid fan of both the book and movie series, I wanted to pay tribute to the series that has had one of the greatest impacts on my childhood by attending the midnight premiere with my best friend, Liz, and dressing up as one of my favorite characters (the Weasley Twins, Fred and George, are my favorite characters but since I'm not a ginger and don't have a twin, I opted to dress up as Hermione).

| Liz and I got to the theater to wait in line at 8:30pm. Some people had been waiting in line since 5pm! Though we obviously weren't the first in line, we still got a good spot and some pretty awesome seats! |

Liz and I had a great time at the premiere! In my opinion, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was one of the best films in the series. *SPOILERS* Like every film, the director did make some changes like Voldemort killing Snape in a boat house instead of in the Shrieking Shack and Voldemort hugging Malfoy (SERIOUSLY?! WTF WAS THAT ABOUT?!) but overall stayed true to Rowling's beloved book. I give it five stars and a high five!
Well Harry, it's been a great ten years. I already said goodbye to you four years ago at the end of the book series but now that the movie series is officially over, I guess I have to follow your footsteps into the realm of adulthood.
So long, Harry Potter.
Can I just say that is the most beautiful backpack in the world?(: I must ask what are those two things hanging on it? One is near the "D" in Dumbledore, and the other is above the "ed."
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the hug, it makes no sense. It also really degrades Voldemort as a character, because someone that evil would not be doing that. In this movie, I didn't even flinch at Voldemort, he was more along the lines of pathetic than he was dark wizard. Other than that I thought this movie was absolutely splendid! Definitely my favorite.
It's sort of scary to say goodbye to Harry after all these years... but at the same time, it's exciting! I wonder what the next big adventure of the next generation will be? All I know is that he will forever be in my heart, and in the hearts of many others. The characters in this epic story have come to life from the laughs, tears, pain, and love of the readers as the saved the world with Harry. You can't ever erase something like that.
on another note, your blog is really cute! Keep up the good work dear.(:
