hp remembered

when i first heard of harry potter i was in high school working as a nanny. the little girl i took care of got to read one chapter every night before bed. i didn't really get into then because it was hard to keep track of a story you only heard once every 7 chapters... later when i was visiting nyc looking for a place to live friends of mine reprimanded me that i hadn't read the books yet.i thought- aren't these childrens books? but d had never let me down on book choices before (or since) so i started reading them sitting on a couch in jamaica, queens. later that year when my (then) fiance and i had moved to nyc we went to see the big friday night release. i instantly fell in love with the story all over again. it was, for lack of a better term, magical.
many things have changed in my life since the first reading and viewing of hp&tss.. i left nyc and my fiance. i moved to austin and fell in love all over again with my high school sweetheart. we are now married and have to 2 beautiful sons. we've watched the cast of hp grow up within these films and within the "real world" and now we must bid the series a sort of farewell. there will be no more book or movie releases for us to look forward too but as a fellow blogger ( http://chocolateandcreamcake.blogspot.com/2011/07/haiku-revieu-harry-potter-and-deathly.html) stated- we can always revisit the world of harry potter that we've come to love- the books and movies will always be there to recapture our imagination... and bring a little magic into our lives.
