If you guessed HARRYight!
Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone made it's debut in 1997. Over the next 10 years the world would come to love Harry Potter. I guess I should say most of the world. There was a lot of controversy over the books and some religious cultures. I also know a lot of people who hated the story.
Despite all that, Harry Potter was a story that I loved. I could relate to the story. I was connected with the characters. I was lost in the story. I grew up reading books that were way above my reading level (I was reading Dickens by 5th grade). I really enjoyed a book that was right at my level.
In 2007 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out. I was in Vail, Co and my Summer Project mates and I went to a supermarket at midnight to pick up the book. It was crazy and a night I will never forget. I read it in just under 4 days. It was great!
How cute are these kids?
It's sad to think that it all ends tomorrow night at midnight. It's the end of an era really. I cannot wait to see how it all plays out in movie form. I'm also really excited that I am going to have this to pass on to my kids. I won't get to see the movie until a week after it comes out due to vacation. Nonetheless I am going to enjoy every minute of the movie!
And Just for Fun :)
What are your thoughts? Are you happy to see it go? Feel sad that it's all over?
