Harry Potter

Let me start out by saying, wow. It seems like just yesterday I was picking up The Sorcerer's Stone for the first time and letting my mind slip into this amazing world created by author J.K Rowling. I'm not English but hey, can I say it was brilliant? I dedicated every second of the day to reading these books when each hit the shelves and each made me love this series even more. It was only the cherry on top when each movie came out displaying a pretty close depiction of each book. It's a little sad that the ride is almost over and there is only one more movie to hit theaters. I'm sure the cast the cast feels the same way now that it's officially over for them. It's been fun though to see the each of the actors growing up before my eyes and what I enjoyed even more was seeing them grow as i grew at the same pace. I know it's only to my amusement here in saying hey I was the same age as the title characters when each movie came out.
I was a little leery when I heard that they had decided to split the last book into two movies. Why on earth would I want to be cut off half way through the movie? Without giving anything away I just want to say they did an amazing job recreating the book in movie form. From the first second the movie started I was enticed and on the edge of my seat. Definitely drew me in and had me feeling like I was there in the middle of the action. It was very well done! I can honestly say that I laughed and I cried and I never cry in movies. But I cried at the exact same spot that I did in the book. It was so heartfelt and you could feel the emotions pouring off of each actor like it was actually happening. Beautiful.  The movie ended on a cliff hanger but if you're like me and read the book, you know what happens. Sorry to all those who never read the books and have no idea what happens, I suggest buy the books. It's really worth it.
So I may not have literally picked up The Sorcerer's Stone for the first time yesterday but I can say I picked it up for the second time. There's so much that I missed the first time many years ago and it's like it brand new to me.
I hope you all enjoyed the movie, I sure did! :)
