The End Has Come
Jul. 8th, 2011 04:27 pmI have concluded it would be a good idea to watch HP7:1 again before July 15 (well, 16th for me). So, I'm spending some of my birthday iTunes money to rent it, since I haven't gotten around to buying that one on DVD. I watched all the others a couple of months ago too, so I think I'm good. I read the books again too, in the last 12 months.
I'll be good to go!
Wow, watched the red carpet premiere yesterday afternoon in London. I've never seen Trafalgar Square like that! A little taste of the Olympics next year. But to see the entire cast come out and spend so much time signing autographs and giving interviews. And to have the trio as well as the main production staff get up and say words that they've probably been waiting 10 years to say, really got to me. But honestly, it was Rubert Grint's interview that got me teary and Emma Watson who got me crying and J.K. that destroyed me in a few words.
So, nothing new there.
It'll be so strange and sad to say goodbye after so long. This has been such a part of my life, it's hard to believe it's 'over' [Though Dan was very adament in repeating that as long as the books and movies survive, it's never really going to be The End]. I never really felt this with LOTR. I think because, when the last movie came out, we knew there was still the EE. And then, everyone had a pretty good idea that PJ would somehow manage another movie at some point. I never gave up on The Hobbit and I'm thrilled we get 2! It'll fill a void for a couple of years after HP, that's for sure. I have no idea what I'm going to do in January 2014.
Oh, yeah, write a thesis.
And what I am finding the strangest thing this year is that HP is coming to an end after 10 years, but 'LOTR' is just gearing up for another run! And I've also just discovered Twilight which, in 12 months, will be over too! HP took 10 years. I'm going to go through Twilight from book start to movie finish in about 16 months. But that will never be to me what HP was. Not even close, but it's still weird to think about.
23 more minutes for the download! Sounds like a good dinner movie. I just need to figure out the dinner part...
