Harry???

So I don't know how many people that read my blogs, (even though there aren't many) know my goal of reading all the Harry Potter Books before the new movie comes out. Not going to lie it started all because of the last Harry Potter movie, and it leaving on a cliff hanger type ending, and that wasn't going to roll with me. So I began the week of Thanksgiving to start to read the Harry Potter books, and boy did it take a while for me to get through the first two. I started book 2 during the break and then put it down, until eventually, (like January) I picked it back up. Push comes to shove, and I am finally starting book 7 tonight.

I never really ever thought that I would enjoy Harry Potter. Never in my wildest dreams did I even imagine me picking up the books and reading them, and I have always enjoyed reading so reading them shouldn't have been very hard. However, the desire was never there until of course the movie didn't answer all of my questions that needed to be answered. The second thing I must admit is that this is the second time that I have purposefully read a book before the movie counterpart came to theaters. Not going to lie, I read Shutter Island thinking it would be released in October of 2009, and was far to prepared for Hollywood's take on the book in 2010.

Now I understand, not all people like Harry Potter, or will ever have an interest in the book or movie, however I must admit, J.K. Rowling did a good job. And for that I guess she can deserve the millions she made. (unlike some other millionaires in the world).
