Those of you who've known me for some time know I couldn't let it go by without a post.
There are approximately 9 hours & 2 minutes until I get to see the end of an era.
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part II.

I feel as though I have waited forever for this movie. I still remember reading the 7th book. I read all 759 pages in less than 24 hours. I couldn't put the thing down! As soon as I finished reading it, I placed it on the table, where it sat for a few minutes. I then picked the book up & began reading it all over again. I loved it that much.
Last Friday, our trip to New York City was mainly to see The Harry Potter Exhibition at the Discovery Building in Times Square.
Unfortunately, there was no photography allowed so I have no pictures to share with you, but believe me, it was amazing. All the costumes & props...incredible!
So at Midnight, it all comes to an end. (I've been up since 4:30am with my son's surgery, I think I'm gonna need a nap.)
In honor of this momentous occassion, I made myself a little something to wear.
After all, the die hard fans are usually dressed in Potter related attire for the midnight showing. My daughter will be in her wizard shirt (from the exhibition), robe & Gryffindor headband. I had to have something as a die hard fan, right?
Long live Potter! Bring on Midnight!!
Gina, I love Harry Potter!..wish I could affoed all the books I'd read over and over.

ReplyDeleteHarry Potter? I've never even thought of reading one of the books but from your excitement of them maybe I'll give them a try because I love to read!
How cute and fun Gina. I knew you were a die hard, and the necklace just tops that off. Just had a to come by quick and say hello..I miss my blogging friends.
