So, I watched the final Harry Potter movie with Brynne last night. It’s been an exciting part of her life for the past twelve years; her Grade Three Teacher read the first book (Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone) to the class, I read the next four to her, and she read the final two herself. I thought Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (the sixth in the series) was the best book (mainly because of the Lucky Potion’ (Felix Felicis) Chapter), but my fondest memories are the books we shared together as I read with my interpretation of the character’s voices (the most enjoyable (yet painful to my throat) were Dobby and Hagrid). I didn’t really enjoy the last book (though I’m sure I wasn’t within the target audience for the series), and I think the final two movies were much better than the book (the final book was split into two movies). Brynne enjoyed all of it immensely and says that a little part of her died knowing it’s all over…
