The Official Harry Potter Thread

ahhh I am so going to cry all the way through this movie![/QUOTE

i'm not a weepy chick but i think i too will lose it in the theater. don't get me wrong, every time i see a trailer poster or article about the movie i get super crazy person excited but then i think i'm gonna be sad when it's over... i mean it's officially the end of an era!!! i have amazing memories about saving up for months just so i could buy the books to read them first or saving to be one of the first to go see the movies opening day. harry potter, the books and movies have been a part of my life for 14yrs!! that's literally my teenage yrs to almost my mid-twenties!! that was the first book i ever was interested to read & got me into the habit of reading. this would be embarrassing to anyone who wasn't a potter fan but i STILL have the books downloaded onto my mp3 & listen to them every time i need to escape what's going on in my life... my friends would call me a loser & a baby for this but i'm not ashamed... i've never yet found anything that resonated soooo powerfully. it was just soo good, charming, witty, funny, noble, spiritual, uplifting but mostly just plain... COOL. now i'm getting a lil depressed thinking about it but i will say this; i plan to treat all the books like a precious treasured friend & if i ever have kids they'll be reading him for generations

I think you said it so well. You made so many points which I can relate too. I have some friends who think Harry Potter is lame but honestly I feel sorry for them. They didn't get to experience the magic of reading the books, going on adventures with Harry and the gang, and getting to learn profound lessons in the stories as well. And I wouldn't trade these memories for anything, even if it makes me "uncool." I think for so many people Harry has been their rock and guidance and source of understanding. I mean, who can't relate to Harry? or to at least one of the characters? Everyone can relate to someone from Harry Potter. And so naturally we're all a bit sad that the books/movies are almost over. But like you said Modelista, I'll also be reading the books to my kids, and I fully expect them to enjoy and learn as much as I did from this series. My friends and I have this joke that we'll start reading Harry Potter to our children when we are pregnant with them! It's never too early to start! Haha...

last day vid is so so touching.

I was smiling through tears because Helena, even then, did not fail to have a drink with her.

The video of the last days of filming made me a bit sad- totally had a tear in my eye. But I'm sure the cast and crew were crying much harder then the rest of us. They actually lived the Harry Potter life for 10 years on set.

I'm tearing up to all this, I don't even want to know what a mess I'll be when I actually get to watch the movie.

 

[sobriquet87]

Maybe this will cheer you up.

Personally I don't care for the films, they're not they type of film I go for. That said, I recognise what an achievement they are for the British film industry and just as a feat of film-making and in terms of acting talent they have the creme da la creme. I'm going to the premiere tonight. I'll be working, as part of the Bonnie Wright posse,which won't leave much time for a breather, but I will try and take a few pics for you all.

 

[chanelnumber5]

^That would be so sweet of you if you get time Have an amazing time at the premiere, even if it is for work. I'm insanely jealous!

New interview with JK Rowling (She's amazing!)

Isn't she just?! Its incredible that for someone who has had so much success that she is still so humble and lovely, the part where she says one of the things shes most proud of is that she created so much employment exemplifies this. She is such a great role model for young girls.

I don't know if JK's Harvard speech has been posted before, but its so inspiring I hope no one minds if its a re-post.
