Movie Night

We ventured out last night to celebrate Josh's birthday in a "low-key" way. He decided he was up for Harry Potter, so we went to see the new movie. We stopped for dinner before going up to the movie and by the time we got to our seats (2nd to last row) he was not feeling awesome. Walking that much gave him a headache. He said he was okay to stay though, so we did. I kept thinking he was going to lean over and tell me he needed to go, but he didn't.

I loved the movie! It was great. As I was watching it though, I thought, "hmm, I don't remember this happening in the book" or "What about ____? Wasn't that in the book??". Then I realized, I have no clue. I remember the general story, but the details have escaped my mind. As much as I loved the books, I was having a hard time figuring out why I wouldn't remember anything from them. Then I realized what my problem was. By the time I started reading the books, 4 were already out. (Maybe just 3??) When 5, 6, and 7 came out, I wanted to read them as fast as I could for 2 reasons.

1: I loved them and I was sucked into the story. I couldn't put the book down, and I lived in Harry Potter's world for a couple of days. This was less of a conscious choice.

2: I didn't want to hear or read anything at work, or on the internet, or on t.v., or in the grocery store, about any part of the book and have one single word spoiled for me. So I read as fast as I could.

Yes, I could have read them again, but really, have you seen the size of those books?? I don't have that much time. Although, I am considering reading them again... In fact, I see 5, 6, and 7 on my shelf right now...I'll just fold one load of laundry first...
