Cultural Catch Up
On Super Bowl Sunday my loving son loaned me the entire DVD set of Harry Potter films. I somehow had been left out of seeing the last five films and had told him so. And he couldn't wait to bring Ol' Dad up to speed.
Well, last week I watched the ones I had seen before just to whet my appetite. Then, starting last Wednesday night after Bible study, I began to watch the ones I had not seen before, one after the other, stopping only when I fell asleep, and then picking up the thread at the the scene I remembered.
I feel refreshed now being able to converse intelligently with the young people I watched grow up to young adults as they grew up watching Harry Potter and his friends grow up. Funny how knowing all the other stuff which happened in the world during that time did not prepare me in quite this same way!

I had to read all those books for a Children's Literature class in college but at that time there were only 4 books out. I have yet to read the others or see the movies. I know my dad has them so maybe I'll have to borrow them.
I haven't watch any of Harry Potter movies yet... I am not really a movie person, I guess.
Glad you caught up!!!!!! I love them all!!! Loved all the books too!!!!!
