Watching HP

[Erika J]

I held out on seeing HP until todays matinee because it is my daughters 
birthday (10). Last year we got to see it opening day because it fell on 
her birthday. I am SOOOOOO excited.  Probably just a bit more than the fact 
that it is my daughters birthday (I am so bad). I have read the reviews, I 
couldn't resist, so I will be looking out for things that I normally 
wouldn't have looked out for. When I went to see PS/SS the first time I had 
never read the book and was reluctant to see another big budget Hollywood 
movie but went anyway because my daughter wanted to see it. Well, I tell 
you, I was obsessed last Xmas. Everyone got Harry Potter stuff whether they 
liked it or not (Harry Potter pencils/towels/shampoo didn't go over well 
with my 13 year old son). I ALMOST went out last night to see it but I 
resisted so I could share the experience with the whole family (Da** them!) 
today.  Sometimes, I feel so immature when my best friends, albeit read the 
books, have masters in English literature and when we talk of writers, I 
quote HP canon and they look at me and shake their heads. I do have one up 
on them though, I am the resident Tokien expert. Anyway, wanted to unlurk 
and purge some of the excitement of seeing the movie for the very first 
time, I will surely see it more, I saw PS/SS 6 times (full price, no 
matinees) last year.
