Man do I heart Harry Potter. I finally finished the 4th book a few nights ago, and am on chapter five of the 5th book. So far in the series, I decided that the books are much better than the movies simply because of the way the story unfolds. It's much easier to follow, and they cut out many important characters as well as filtering character roles crucial to the story. I don't want to be an anti-HP-movie advocate, but it's hard to separate the two now that I've seen the movies and their corresponding books. I don't want a six-hour version of the book, I simply want a movie I can follow without feeling either confused or very heavily frustrated. I know you can't please everyone, but the way I see it is that when you turn a book into a movie, the most important objective is to do the story justice. That's all I'm trying to say.
I miss Bia and Charlie so much.
I leave in two weeks for New York. I'm not sure what to expect, and truthfully I'm going to miss doing anything at my own leisure. What a nice break it has been.
Bethany and I are currently planning some amazing trips over the next couple of years, including Europe, Las Vegas and a possible cruise of sorts. I'm totes excited.
...Now I really need to get a passport...
