Harry Potter...the end

Harry Potter is kind of a big deal in this house. Not the kind of big deal that is all consuming or... obsessive but rather fun. It has been the topic of many conversations: finding hidden elements in the books or movies, things we like/dislike about the characters and storylines, parts we wished had been included (or left out of) the movies, the list goes on...

Today is opening day for the final movie installment. Todd and Kristen went last night for the midnight show and Brandon, Nicholas, and I will go this morning. This is the way it's been for a while now....a tradition you could say :)

In preparation for the final movie, we decided to have a Harry Potter marathon! Each day this week, we watched a Harry Potter movie starting last Saturday with the very first movie, The Sorcerer's Stone and ending last night with a double feature: The Half-Blood Prince and The Deathly Hallows part I . We had fun watching them all together like that and seeing the actors grow up.

Not all of our family members could make it to every movie but we were all here the first night!

Because of work schedules, Todd and Kristen missed some of the movies, and Megan and Nicholas fell asleep during a few, but Brandon and I watched them all. We are so ready for the new movie!! Maybe this should be a new summer tradition??
