Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - it's here!!

SO excited about the last Harry Potter movie(s)! Unfortunately, with the timing of our move we won't be seeing the movie tonight. I have high hopes for using it as a bit of stress relief next week, but we'll see how that goes. Meanwhile, I've been contenting myself with watching the trailer over and over.

 
In preparation of the movie, I re-read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) by J K Rowling (along with most of the other crazy HP fans out there!)  I actually bought a copy of the book while we were in Hawaii back in February. I spread out the read over most of the year, finishing it up in October. Mike and I both read Deathly Hallows when it first came out, racing each other to the end. I, of course, cried the first time, but I managed to not cry the second time around. There is a moment near the end that had me leaping from my chair in joy the first time around, but this time it didn't hit me nearly as hard. While I did enjoy it this time, and consider the series to be a favorite and well worth re-reading, it didn't pack nearly the emotional punch for me this time as last time. This is not to say that I was disappointed, I wasn't, I just didn't feel the excitement of the finale quite as strongly.

Regardless of this, I can't wait to get settled into the new house and find a babysitter so we can go see the movie!

Are you a Harry Potter fan? Did you buy Deathly Hallows the day it came out? Did you re-read the book, or all the books, in preparation of the movie? Will you see the movie on opening day? Will you come watch my kids so I can go see it? Please?
