HP Weekend

After seeing the making of the movie on BBC a week ago and nights of dreaming about it, I finally got to watch the full length movie!!!

The past weekend was a Harry Potter treat for me. Zach and I watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix last Saturday evening. I remembered being excited the whole day while trying to scan the pages of the book I had at home just to make sure I remember the high points of the story. When we got to the mall, almost all people were carrying copies of the HP and the Deathly Hallows. But what’s most funny was the teenager who sat beside me at the cinema. She was actually reading the latest and final installment of the story inside the cinema while the adverts and trailers were shown!!! She obviously did not want to waste time.

Expectedly, the movie did not cover the whole book and some scenes were portrayed differently. But nevertheless, I truly enjoyed the movie and was amazed how the characters have grown so much. They were far from the cute kids that they were on the first three movies. Zach and I agreed later after the movie that we felt goosebumps when it came to the scene where Harry and his friends flew to London riding the thestrals. It showed London, River Thames and the tourist spots at night. We just cannot believe that we have actually been in those places. Now, Zach is looking forward to a Scotland trip to see the famed castle that was used in the film as Hogwarts.

The following day, we went to the town center after hearing mass. And we passed by a bookstore, I just was not able fight the urge to buy a copy of my own. I desperately can’t wait to find out how the whole Harry Potter saga will come to an end. And this book completes my set of Harry Potter and his adventures.

Well, that’s all for now and I’ll be hitting the book again.
