Harry Potter

First, I would like to start by stating my displeasure at the fact that Harry Potter hasn't come out here. And secondly, yes, I do have tickets for the screening at 12.01 am of the day it comes out (Wednesday night/Thursday morning).

I read an article today saying that the movie has made significantly less each sequel that has come out. I would like to point out that it grossed (in the States) $101 million opening weekend. Yeah, sounds depressing. That is of course not to mention the overseas sales that it will be bringing it. Apparently, the last movie (the worst one yet, then) made over a billion from overseas tickets alone. Seriously, are we that worried about J.K. Rowling?

But seriously, I can't friggin' wait for this movie. I think I will get there super early so I can get a good seat and buy candy and popcorn because I want to revel in the childhood wonderland that this is. I can remember finishing this book, chewing on my nails, sitting tensely upright on my parents' bed. So what if I was in college... that, my friends, is reading. Getting so excited by the ending that you can't stop reading, no matter what time it is, no matter what you have to do. And the movie can be an extension of that reading experience. Sheer joy.

I can't friggin' wait.
