So, call me sentimental but I am really sad that the last Harry Potter movie is here and gone. Ten years ago, in October, I was nursing Austin ALL DAY and starting the Harry Potter series. I read the first four books within two weeks...and it only took me that long because I was fighting with my sister over them. :) I remember when book 5 finally came out, being poor college students, we couldn't really afford it so I put myself reluctantly on the library waiting list...I was number 22! I was so disappointed but my dear husband who loves me so much surprised me with a copy he pre-ordered for me. He hid it in the fridge. Hehe! Then book 6 and book 7 came out and Chris and I read them together (I had him hooked by then) completely neglecting our children for the next 48 hours. Now Austin, who was newly born when I started the series has read every book at least twice and some of them more than that. He is almost 10! It has literally been a decade of our life reading and going to see the movies. I am sad that it is over but we are already planning our trip to Florida to go to Harry Potter land in three years!
Because Austin is a big Harry Potter fan, we thought it would be fun to take him to the midnight showing of the last Harry Potter movie. We had so much fun! We went to see the double feature: HP 7 part 1 and then HP 7 part 2. Austin dressed up. Chris and I were going to dress up as well but Chris REALLY didn't want to and his brothers threatened to sit somewhere else if we did. So just Austin dressed up and he made a super cute Harry Potter. There was a costume contest but "Voldemort" won. Nonetheless, Austin did win some free popcorn during the trivia contest. The final movie was everything we could have expected! It was really great and I actually want to go see it again. We had a great night and it was absolutely worth the loss of sleep!
Thank you to J.K. Rowling for making such an entertaining book. You absolutely deserve your billions!
