I didn't see Harry Potter last night. I actually haven't seen Deathly Hallows 1 yet. I've been saving it. I do this whenever beloved series end. I STILL haven't seen the last episode of LOST. I like knowing it's there. I know, weird, but once I see these movies, I've seen them all, and there is no more new Harry to look forward to.
Except there is, because part of the joy of being a parent is sharing magic with my kids, and now my seven year old is almost ready to be Potterized (the movies scare her, understandably so, but we're starting Sorcerer's Stone. Rereading for the 10th time, I'm still amazed by Rowling's voice and characterization and world building. Truly truly genius).
And actually, Rylee has already been exposed to plenty of Potter over the years. Here's her first/last midnight release party from four years back. Dang, she was cute. Full recap of that magical night here
Happy Harry y'all!
