harry potter......
ok, so the new harry potter movie comes out today....and i cannot wait to see it.......i read the book several times over......and though the story gets a bit dark.....it is still much lighter in character than books 4 and 5 that come after it.......i listened to a review by the l.a. times guy this morning on npr.....and though he questioned a few themes, he basically liked it......i question whether he has actually read the books, after listening to the things he questioned....such as having the dursleys back in for the third movie......gentle readers, the opening portion of book three, including the dursleys and aunt so-and-so is something i look forward to seeing on film, because the book described it so nicely that i cannot stand but to see how the director portrayed it with living actors.......i also cannot wait to see the end, when harry gets a glimpse of his petronus...the stag that is basically his father's aura, so to speak.......and the director had to include malfoy, because he is important in both books 4 and 5 as well.....and he had a role to play in book 3 as well......as i recall.........as fiction, i really enjoy the harry potter books, and will be sad when book 7 has been written and filmed, because that will be the end.......when he finishes school.....rowling has only promised to see him through school....and she will have banked a billion by then and will have no need for an extra bit of cash.......another good thing about this premiere.....it does not have a lotr premiere to overshadow it........there was the christmas when both a potter and a lotr movie came out.......they are apples and oranges....and should not be mentioned in the same conversation......ah well........all i have to do is to figure out when all of us can go at the same time given swim meets, working, church, etc.........
