Big day today -- today was the Opening Day of the first part of the last Harry Potter movie, The Deathly Hollows. Sister Roxy's husband Rich had been very sweet, going on-line to get us three tickets for the 12;20 show today. Roxy, Forry and I settled into the first row of the second section of the IMAX theatre and thoroughly enjoyed the next 2 hours and 26 minutes (though I sure made a bee-line for the rest room as soon it was over!).
I had spent a good share of yesterday and the evening before re-reading the book to refresh my memory. I have a great deal of admiration for JK Rowlings, the author. To have written such an engrossing series of books that appeal to an incredibly wide range of ages is an awesome accomplishment.
It's been fun to literally watch the three actors who portray Harry, Hermione, and Ron grow up in the series of movies. They have become very accomplished young adults. This movie was not set mainly at Hogwarts as the first movies were, but instead was filmed throughout Britain. We all come away thinking it was a really good movie!
