windemereSince the complete 8-disk set of Harry Potter was on sale at Amazon last week for $37, I decided I wasn't quite broke enough to not buy it, since I only have the first 4 on disk and none of their cases match anyways. So, naturally, I sat down to watch the finale again.
The first time I saw Part II in the theatres, it was Maggie Smith stepping in front of Harry to protect him from Snape that set me crying. This time, it was the theme music five seconds into the movie. The acting! The heartbreak! The deaths! The...everything!!
I don't think I will ever stop loving these films (or the books, except #5). I will certainly never stop enjoying watching them. They're just wonderful and awful and beautiful and horrible in all the good ways. They make me laugh and cry and wish it were all real.
It seems hard to believe it's been 13 years since I discovered this universe. 11 years since LotR too. I am going to bawl in December for the next two years running.
