Harry Potter

     I am in love with Harry Potter.  I really am!  I am having a movie marathon right now as I type this.  I am currently on number four: The Goblet of Fire.  It is only about twenty minutes.  I started at ten this morning and I would be further, but I had to drive to Park City to pick up my aunt at work during the third movie and then we stopped to get dinner.  I was very upset but I quickly got over it.
     I have had a serious yearning to reread the books again.  Not in seven days like I did last year but to do so before the final film comes out on the fifteenth of July.  Naturally, I checked the library but there was no such luck.  Both copies were not available for me to read.  Honestly, the first book is only, what? 309 pages?  I can read that in three hours tops.  The copies at the library aren't due until late July/early August!  Rubbish I say!  So being the stubborn, impatient girl I am, I checked Ebay.  Lucky me found all seven books for .99 cents with $10 shipping.  However the auction doesn't end for another 4 days AND some fool has already bid on it.  I hate them for it.  But I will win these books.  I will.
     Watching these movies inspires me to express my opinion on the characters.
     Harry Potter
        Harry is a fool.  He would not be a hero without friends who basically do all the work for him.  Voldemort even says, "You have fought valiantly, but you have allowed your friends to die rather than face me yourself."  Sucker punch, but the truth.  I find Harry to be the only character that is the closest to reality.  He is self-conscious and scared, average intellect...He would fail without good friends which is one of the main symbols in these glorious books.
     Draco Malfoy
        I have always been in love with Draco Malfoy.  Don't get me wrong, I understand that he is a coward but deep down, I know he is good.  His parents are just crazy and brought him up wrong.  That is all.  In the first few films, his hair kinda creeps me out because it is gelled back and that is not at all ideal.  But later he puts on handsome dark suits and lets his hair flow naturally and that is when my heart pounds.
     Rita Skeeter
        I.  Love.  Rita.  I really do.  She is glamorous and lovely, but she is brilliant!  She is charismatic and looks at situations with a different angle.  "Everyone loves a rebel Harry...scratch that last," speaking to her quill.  Yeah, that just happened.  Love her!
     Mad Eye Moody
        I honestly hate Mad Eye.  He bugs me.  I think he is a jerk and I don't like his blunt sense of humor.  I wasn't too sad when he died. 
     Cedric Diggory 
        I wasn't sad when he died, either.  And it's not because he is played by Robert Pattinson, who I am so proud of for learning some basic hygiene and I am still a little weirded out by for kissing Taylor Lautner at the MTV awards.  In all honestly, I am in love with him in 'Remember Me'.  Cedric is just annoying.  He is the annoying golden boy that no one likes.
     Cho Chang
        I wish she died with Cedric.
     Sirius Black
        I am also in love with Sirius.  In the Order of the Phoenix, that is, when he is cleaned up.  I would be even more in love if he cut his hair.
     Bellatrix Lestrange
        I think this lovely woman will put an end to my list for now.  I am deeply in love with Bellatrix.  She is a crazy wench and I love her.  I don't exactly approve of her mass murdering and torture techniques but she is lovely and wild.  I am dressing up as her for the movie premiere.
    
     This is all for now.  I have about 7.6 hours out of 17.5.  Wish me luck.
