December 08, 2009 a much awaited date, Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince came out on DVD. B. surprised me with the movie last night, after he told me on the phone that the store had "sold out." He likes to aggravate.
Last night we sat down as a family and watched it, I even think C. enjoyed it to. I have loved Harry Potter for years and years. I have read all the books over and over again, as well as watched the movies over and over again. Every time I read one of the books or see one of the movies, I get that feeling that you can only get from reading a good book or seeing a good movie. Harry Potter has been an escape for me for a very long time, through good and bad times I have always escaped into one of the books or movies when I have needed to do just that, escape. I think it's like that for everyone that reads the books or sees the movies. You are transported to a magical place that actually becomes real to you as you read or watch. I imagine that kids do actually believe that Harry Potter is real, that Hogwarts exists and that Hogsmead really is a village in England somewhere. I hope that as C. gets older she will love Harry Potter the way that I do, I want her to believe that it all exists, because what is childhood with out a little magic?
