Monday? Really?

What a great weekend!  Harry Potter and hanging out with fellow Potter freaks on Friday night was so nice.  After the movie (more on that later), we had pizza and talked about the movie for about 2 hours with friends.  It was so nice to have a little closure on something that has been so fun for me, and for them for many years.

I LOVED Deathly Hallows Part II.  Aside from a few minor parts that I would have done differently, I feel like they did the book justice.  Now for my top 3 favorite moments in the movie:  

SPOILER ALERT


3.  Ron and Hermione kissing......FINALLY!  We've only been waiting 10 years.  


2.  The teachers preparing Hogwarts for battle: Flitwick charms, McGonagall's spell to make the suits of armor come alive and fight, etc.  Very powerful- and soooo cool!


1.  Looking back in the pensieve at Snape's memories.  I'm not to proud to admit that I absolutely cried at that part.  It was truly moving.  


I also thought that they did a great job with the scene in the Room of Requirement and Bellatrix's vault at Gringott's.  What are your favorite moments?

I am re-reading the books right now, partly because I just can't say goodbye yet, and partly because there are so many details I want to catch this time now that I know how it ends.

WHEW!  I'm planning on getting organized this week and simplifying my life.  I have too much going on and I need a plan.  Hope you have a good week!

AHHH! I loved your favorite moments! Seriously, the part with Ron and Hermione! Hilarious... I want to re-read the books too! AH! We have actually been listening to them in the car for the past few months whenever we go on longer car trips. (I have books 1-5 on CD). But I really want to read books 6 and 7 again! (I know books 1-5 by heart basically... heard them about a billion times). But I'm actually reading The Lord of the Rings right now! AH! One book at a time!!!!!!!
