In Anticipation of Harry Potter...

I am an avid Harry Potter fan to say the least.  I am eagerly awaiting the last movie, which I will be seeing at midnight tomorrow night.  But I also have some fears regarding the last movie.  I’ve always been one to separate the books from the movies, and therefore have less criticism of said movies than let’s say, the diehard fans of the books.  I am afraid however that this movie might stray a little to far from the last book, and it being the last movie, that won’t do.  I’ve been watching interviews and sneakpeaks, TV Specials and late night appearances, all for a glimpse at what to expect of the last movie.  Now as the night is almost upon me for when all those clips will be placed in a way in which they make some sense, I’m afraid of being let down. 

The truth of the matter is, when Harry Potter first became big, I boycotted it.  It was like the movie “Titanic” with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.  I wasn’t into the hype, it was a huge turnoff.  Then one day, my sister, who swore I would like the movies, forced me to watch the first one on VHS.  I was riveted.  The next day I went to see the second one in the movie theatre, and went from there to a bookstore to buy the first 4 books, the only ones released at that point.  I remember laughing at Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire while sitting in the Mexico City airport, awaiting my flight home from Central America.  Rowling had captured my imagination.  I went on to write fan fiction of the series, though to this day, no one but myself has read it. 

So what to do now?  I suppose just wait out the next 26 hours and hope that I won’t be sitting behind a great tall fellow as I did at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.  I will run my errands tomorrow and try not to think about it too much, lest I grow too impatient.  I have no doubt I will write a review of the movie, at least my kind of movie review which resembles nothing like a real movie critics’. 

A Few Thoughts...(Very few)

Dear Blog Readers, I have been asked by several of you why I haven’t posted anything in several months.  Truthfully I have not been feeling very witty or intelligent.  I’ll give it a go now.  Writing, not being witty or intelligent. 

On the subject of the royal wedding and the young royal couple:  I had fully intended on watching the Royal Wedding live on TV on April 19^th, however found that I preferred sleeping to the actual event.  I did catch the appearance on the balcony however and watched many a recap of the ceremony.  I loved her dress, elegant and classy.  She looked quite happy, beaming with those pearly whites.  Many people were either lovers or haters of all the media the young couple has attracted.  I’m obviously one who can’t get enough of the Royal Couple, so long as their privacy isn’t too glaringly intruded upon.  I am continually impressed by the Duchess of Cambridge’s continued grace and elegance as she settles into royal life.  The North American tour showed she can push through these appearances and hold her own.  Well done Princess Catherine. 

Twitter.  It’s this amazing program.  At first I thought it was dumb and boring.  Now I need to get my fix often.  I am fascinated by the world of celebrities.  I always have been and I’m pretty sure I always will.  There’s something very powerful about tweeting Adam Savage (Mythbusters), Wil Wheaton, or Craig Ferguson.  I almost get an adrenaline rush.  I don’t anticipate they’ll ever read my tweets, but the very thought they might is very exciting.  I don’t tweet often, as I doubt the 14 people who follow me really care much about what I’m doing at the moment, but the following of the 104 “people” I follow gets me all excited.  For instance, I wouldn’t have known Tom Felton would be on Dave Letterman tonight, and I might have missed out on his interview.  I love seeing behind the scenes pictures from a day on the Mythbusters shoot posted by Tory Belleci, Grant Imahara, or Kari Byron.  It’s wonderful for people like me who don’t have a life. 

That’s all for now, I think.  Who wants to read a blog entry that is 7 pages long, after all.
