I finally finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I was reluctant to finish it because that means its over....
I remember when Harry Potter was first getting popular. I was going through my Lord of the Rings phase and was mad because Harry Potter was competing with LotR at the time. The movies had just come out and the books were re-released with new covers and all sorts of stuff like that.
And Harry Potter was everywhere. Everyone loved Harry Potter so I decided I had to hate it.
Then one day I was at my friend's house and she put in the first movie and I was hooked. I don't remember when or why but I picked up the first book at one point and JK Rowling got herself a new fan. :P
I currently own every single book except for the fourth one - its so huge and I never wanted to pay the $30 for it.
I've seen all the movies and enjoyed them.
And now the books are over. No more Harry Potter.
I heard she was going to write more books later on but I don't think she should test her luck that much.... My mom said she's writing an encyclopedia of the characters or something which i would like to read but I don't think she should write any more harry potter books, continuing his life.
The only part I cried was when we found out about Snape's past. That was it. I almost cried when Harry found out what he had to do but not quite. :P
So I cant wait for the next two movies ;D
At least we have that to look forward to.

Harry Potter And The Order of the Pheonix
We went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix last night.
That was the longest book of the series, and the shortest movie so far.
So i was nervous. But they took what they had and did very well, I thought.
My favorite character was Luna Lovegood. The actor was amazing, she was exactly how I imagined her in the books. She was wonderful. Luna was already a favorite of mine, since she reminded me of myself the first time I read her description (only maybe not as loony?)
The woman who played Umbridge mastered the "heh-hem" little girly cough quite well but she didn't look the part. Just like the actor who played Lupin however, she didnt exactly look the part but she played the part very well. The kitten plates in her office were a little... disturbing?
They were cute but it was really freaky, lol.
They did a wonderful job with Grawp, I was impressed.
But since they were so pressed for time they didn't go into a lot of detail about most stuff.
Kreacher was pretty good too.
Anyways, they did a great job with the time limit they had. It was very good.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows
Everyone already knows the book came out today. And if you don't know, its time to come out from under your rock. Seriously.
Anyways.
Like I said at least once before, I went with my cousins to this harry potter thing at this one city... It ended up being my cousin, his girlfriend, my other cousin, her boyfriend and one of her friends, plus my aunt and OTHER cousin who's 3 or so. The six of us took off and messed around.
There were SOOOO many people there, it was insane. The line for "sorting" was down the street and around the corner - literally, so we decided not to waste all that time standing in line for that... That was probably the main thing we wanted to do... just like everyone else.
There were a bunch of little stores but there were usually too many people in them so they wouldn't let us in. The two stores we did go into didn't have anything harry potter so we left disappointed.
They did have some people walking around in character-ish. They were dressed up. But Lucius Malfoy wanted a beer... so yeah. ;)
There were death eaters too and when i saw them I immediately insisted we go over there and get our pictures taken with them.
So we did.
Then most of the others went home, my cousin her boyfriend and I went to borders to get her pre-ordered copy. We drove around looking for a place to eat for a while - we were in the mood for pizza, and couldnt find a single pizza place so we settled for Eat'n Park. I had two glasses of mountain dew, plus the chocolate covered espresso beans my cousin managed to get so I was wired for a little bit. :P
We went back to borders and there were people everywhere. So we grabbed a book and sat down in the only empty aisle - nutrition. Lol! So we messed around in the nutrition aisle for a little bit (*cough2hoursatleastcough*) before it was finally time to line up. And then everyone crammed into the line. So we finally got the book and went back to my cousin's house and it was about 3:30 so I crashed on their couch... I was really mad when I woke up at 7:30 but it was okay after I fell asleep right after I woke up.
So it was a little disappointing but it was fun to hang out with kids (sorta) my own age for a while.
And I finally did get my own copy. :P The first $20 of my pay check is gone, lol.
And I got a sunburn at a friend's house at the party they had today. That, however, is another blog post.

Plans
Tommorow there are tons of book stores and places like that, doing things for the release of the latest Harry Potter book. I'm gonna go with my cousins and aunt. theres actually a whole city (or part of a city) that is transforming into Potter-Land or something along those lines, just for the release. All the Restaurants have special harry potter recipes, and there are contests, and games and give aways and stuff. It'll be fun...
Speaking of my cousin, she just happens to like The Academy Is and wanted to go to the same concert I've been talking about so we're gonna plan it out so we can go together, and she's inviting a couple of her friends, so it should be fun. :)
Work is the same. Sometimes it feels like time stops all together... lol. Other time it goes by in 2 minute increments. But after the 4 hours is up it feels like it went by sorta fast, its weird.
I need a new picture for my sidebar since i got my hair cut.

Harry Potter Movie Confusion
Somewhere I read that it was coming out the 13th. Well turns out it really came out the 11th.
So my mom asked if i wanted to go today.
I said sure.
So we got our snacks from drug mart and headed to the theatre. I was expecting it to be packed.
And it was. I had a feeling it was going to be sold out.
The only thing I'd stand in line for hours for is great seats to a great concert. :P
Sorry Harry Potter.
So I guess its time for PLAN B.
Which is basically go in a week or two when no one is there.
That's fine with me, i like not having annoying people around ruining it for me. But we were all ready to go today. Oh well.
I will see it eventually...
