Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows part 2!

So Friday night my husband and I went on a double date with our freaking AWESOME neighbors, Brandon and Esther to see Harry Potter 7.2 :) Needless to say, WE LOVED IT!!! I totally died when I saw the glasses because they are freaking the CooLEST 3D glasses I've seen yet.

Aren't these totally awesome?! They're HARRY's Glasses!!! After we'd seen the movie we popped out the lenses so the kids can play with them... Ok, so I can. What can I say, I'm a dweeb.

So the movie was absolutely incredible. If you haven't seen the previous seven movies, I highly recommend you watch them and then go see this movie so you don't miss out on the epicness of this film.

I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for the first time during the summer of 2001, when I was 14 years old, almost 10 years ago to the day. I instantly fell in love. I remember it took me only a week to read through the first four books, and I couldn't wait to read more. I have been a loyal fan since, anxiously awaiting "The Next Big Thing" in the world JK Rowling created.

I saw the first Harry Potter movie in November of that year. I was thrilled! I was walking on air, and was totally content with the completeness of the submersion I had just experienced into the Wizarding World.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2 is the epic conclusion of the movies inspired by the books. I was so EXCiTED! I was literally bouncing in my seats as we waited for the previews.

Then the previews were over and I heard the first familiar notes of Harry's theme song. I couldn't stop smiling! And all the while I kept thinking, No! No no no! This is the last one! Now what is there? And then it hit me. This isn't the END! This is just the end of MY chapter with Harry and his pals. I still have my children who are coming to that age where this genre is cool, and I can't WAIT to watch as they fall in love with this series as I have.

Potterheads are more than just fans of Harry. We're the family he doesn't even know he has. We've read as he's developed mentally and watched him grow up. Harry will always be a part of us, just waiting on the bookshelf to be rediscovered.

So, anyway, enough with the mushy stuff. Here's one more pic of us at the end of the night :) Super happy and ready for the next step in Potterness :D
