End of an Era

Thursday night I went to the midnight premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" (#10).  Now I'm not a crazy Harry Potter fan, but I have read all the books and seen all the movies in the theatre as well as multiple times at home.  I don't have any idea what other movies might come out in the next three years with midnight premieres, but the more I thought about it, the more this seemed like a good choice.  The first book was published in the US in 1998 followed by the movie in 2001, so this franchise has ruled for more than a decade now!

The crazy part of all of this was not that I went to a midnight premiere or the movie I chose.  The crazy part was that I worked all this week, meaning that I got off work Thursday at 6pm, went to the movie at midnight, got home around 2:30ish am, and was at work at 7am on Friday!  Miraculously I stayed awake for all of it, although I do admit to taking a 3-hour nap when I got home from work Friday afternoon.  And the movie?  The movie was good!  A fitting end to an era.

  1. I'm glad the movie was good. I forgot to ask you about it when I last talked to you. I just started re-reading all the books
