I can't deny my love for Harry Potter. To say you don't like (or at least appreciate) Harry Potter....would be saying that you don't like stories about good vs. evil. If that were really true your DVD collection would consist of from Justin to Kelly and the edited for TV version of Showgirls.
Harry Potter is not a boy wizard out to battle Lord Voldemort in hopes of saving the world, he is the character embodiment of all the struggles that we face in our own lives. My favorite quote from any book or movies come from The Goblet of Fire:
"Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy." - Dumbledore
The reality is that we ALL will be faced with this question and what we answer will be what truly define us. We will fight all the same battles that Harry does, but most of us will choose easy over right. Thats just the way that it goes. If you think that Harry Potter is for kids, you are sorely mistaken. I can't think of any book that is more for adults. As a child we read the book and enjoy the sense of adventure....sure. But, it is only with age that we can look back and fully understand the difficulty of Harry's choice. Only then does the story really make sense.
If you couldn't tell I'm excited for July. Yay! for the only series of movies to get better over time. And for the Exhibit at the Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. Guess what I'm doing for Birthday 23?
