FYI, if you haven't read the books, and you haven't seen the movie, and you DON'T want to know whats going to happen...  try to ignore the next paragraph as well as you can.


I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows today!  I can't believe that its almost over... I've been reading these books for years, and when they started making the films I was excited that after the final book came out that I'd still have the films to look forward to.  They did an awesome job of following the book, and hardly any of the plot was changed, so making the final book into two movies is definitely paying off.  I kind of wonder how someone who hasn't read the books is following the story, because the final book, particularly the ending, is pretty complicated to understand without alot of the detail given in the book - at least I think it would be.  Any time I've tried to explain the series ending to people who wanted to know but hadn't read the books, it seemed impossible to explain that Voldemort kills Harry, but that he isn't actually able to kill Harry because Harry's blood was used to gain him a body (Goblet of Fire).  However, Harry can't destroy Voldemort until Voldemort's killed him thanks to the horecrux he accidently made the first time he tried to kill him.  At least the movie will do a much better job of explaining the concept, because I can't seem to do it without writing my own novel!

I then spent the next four hours doing homework.  Talk about anti-climatic.  At least the weekend (my weekend) is almost here!
