Part Two

So, I was one of the many that went to the midnight primere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two. Aside from being the end of an era, it was an amazing experience. I'd never been to a midnight premere before and it was just fantastic. I'd come in rather late to the community of Harry Potter. I'd been to the midnight release of the last four books, but other than talking to my family and friends about every tiny detail, it wasn't quite life changing, at least not completely. I learned about Mugglenet during the countdown to Goblet of Fire, but I never really realized that there was a community attached. I stumbled into wizard rock not long after I stumbled into nerdfighteria, around April 2010. I wish I could have been part of all of it from the beginning, but I'll just have to bide my time until I can go to a HP con.

I loved the movie, and not just because I have loved all of them. It hardly dragged and the battles were suitably intense. I would've liked to have seen Teddy, and Dumbledore could have explained more about sending Harry after the Hallows. Snape's memories seemed a little gapped and Percy returned without fanfare. I know they can't fit in every tiny piece of the books, but I was disappointed about a few things. Matthew Lewis was wonderful as Neville emerging as the badass we've always known he was. I can only hope that I will never stop loving Harry Potter, and neither will the world around me.
