So I’m a little glum writing about this, but tomorrow Manila will finally see the last installment of the movie Harry Potter…..hu hu huh hu. Are you going to watch? I am, this is actually in my top 10 to do list for the year.
I remember my first HP book, I bought it in paperback, for around Php200 only, back then when it was still gaining its popularity. It was just a regular day at work (was it my 1st job? 2nd?) and I happen to run out of things to do..petiks! To kill time I borrowed the newspaper, there in the lifestyle section was a review of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, classified under fiction young adults reads. I wish I can remember who wrote that review, I could never thank him/her enough for partly being responsible for my addiction to this series. Not that I would not know about it, but it was nice to brag that when everyone was finally talking about muggles and wizards, I was waiting for the shipment of my third book. Nice to share your thoughts about what’s going to happen and even point-out trivial details, which not everyone will remember, considering that I read it twice already, well, that’s how much addicted I was at the time. I didn't pre-order the Deathly Hallows, but I got the ebook copy instead because I think I’m done with the book carrying from school. Sadly after page six, I found out that reading from a screen is not for me. I prefer not to further damage my eyes, so got the audio instead. By the way I highly recommend Jim Dale’s version, it was like I was watching the whole thing happen in my mind. I even cried when Dobby died.
Enough with the babbling, Im sure your excited to see it too! Have you reserved a ticket already? See you at the Movies! ALOHAMORA!
