So what are we talking about then?
My first time watching Harry Potter. Which was this past Sunday. Please continue to shame me.
Listen. When HP came out, I was far too cool for that shit. You know? I just was. That and 19,000 other movies that I am now catching up on. SO I AM SORRY that I was once too cool for these things. Or things in general, really.
However, when I was included on a group tweet that was Harry Potter related, I finally owned up to this horrific secret. No regrets, ladies. And then I had the brilliant idea that would lead to this blog content. Because something has to give me content.
After telling Justin an equally long story as the one above we sat down, post-Tiffany-nap, to watch Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone. I had no idea how long that effing movie was. Are you serious with that? For a target audience of young adults? I had the ants in my pants, but I watched all 2 hours and 25 minutes of tiny Harry and his tiny friends.
These tiny people haven't even hit puberty and they are using magic and turning people to stone? IN YOUR DREAMS.
Hold your mouth for a second. I am not, in any way bashing Harry Potter. I love my life too much.
What I'm saying is that I need to watch the other movies before I make a final judgement on this situation. I'm also thinking that maybe I should've watched these before I turned 30 so that I could appreciate them more. Also, MORE DRAGONS. Baby dragons are the way to my heart.
At least I won't get cyber-bullied anymore.
If you don't have two and a half hours to watch the movie, you definitely won't want to read the books, but they're SO worth it!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I have yet to watch "Harry Potter" all the way through...so, you are already doing better than I! :) My Whatever Wednesday will be up very soon...hope it a Wonderful one for you! :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thank you for such a great topic for this week! :)
DeleteI've never read a Potter book or seen a Potter movie, and I don't plan to. Potter lovers be damned!
ReplyDeleteTIFFANY.
ReplyDeleteI am not sorry for being part of the group that hazed you into watching the movie. I'm just not.
I agree though, they are a WEE bit lengthy. I suggest pairing each movie with a nice bottle of wine.
I will CYBER BULLY the SHIT out of you if you doubt the validity of Harry Potter! AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU HEAR ME SAY THAT, GOVERNMENT. COME AT ME!! (please don't come at me government..I love the USA & pay all my taxes)
ReplyDeleteAnyHOW, muggle.
My friends read the books and wouldn't shut up about them. I still haven't read the books, but the same friends sat me down to watch the first one. And you're right, soooo long. I had to impose an intermission to grab a beer and a smoke. I don't think I'll watch the others.

ReplyDeleteI'm not on twitter hardly ever. so I missed this whole thing about you never seeing harry potter!!!
I...I have no words...
I will say this though, the first and second movies are just "meh" compared to 3-7 part 2.
MORE DRAGONS? This isn't friggin Game of Thrones, Tiffany.
ReplyDeleteAnyway! Watch them all and report back. They ARE long movies, so it's okay if it takes you a while. Maybe wait until Halloween time...that's the best time of watch them.
And, if you don't love them, well...that's your loss.
Never read the books OR seen the movies and I'm not sorryyyyyy!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love my life way too much... -that had me rolling.
ReplyDeleteYou must watch all of them. That is all.
ReplyDeleteshitler refuses to watch anything that won't actually happen.
ReplyDeletehence why i own all those movies and usually just put them on to annoy the shit out of him.
Girl, I haven't watched a single HP movie or a Twilight one either...and I am not shameful about it at all...I am too cool! LOL! Kidding!
ReplyDeleteShanna!!! watch the movies...just HP..Twilight..meh. They are sooo good!!
DeleteHow could you not have watched any of the movies?!?! I do not like sic-fi or fantasy or anything like that, but HP is my weakness!! If it's on ABC Family, i stop and watch!! keep watching it gets good!!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of writing a post about the things that everyone else seems to like that I just don't like. Not saying this is an original idea...but it's something I think about a lot! And when I think about it realize....it's fine! It's ooookaaaaay if you end up not liking Harry Potter. Just like it's ooookaaaay that I don't like chevron or india pale ales. .....right?
ReplyDeleteThey get better. So much better. And they are just mere babies in the first! But once it gets dark and twisty and deep, OOOH so good.
ReplyDeleteConfession: I've never seen or read HP. This is the first time I'm admitting to this.
ReplyDeleteActually, wait. I was forced into seeing the first movie at a friend's house in college. I remember absolutely zero of it.
HAHAHAHAHA! But don't let my laughing out loud fool you...I am a total HP fan. And baby dragons are the Game of Thrones route..please tell me you watch that?
ReplyDeleteI've only seen a few of the movies, I never really got into them. I loved the books, but the movies never really held the same kind of magic for me.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen them either. I kept saying I want up read the books first and just never got around to it. I blame Sookie Stackhouse. Her and Eric are way more appealing.
ReplyDeleteHP never rocked my world either.
ReplyDeletei read the first book 2 months ago and knew nothing about HP until then. i still kinda don't because guess what? the books ain't that great.
ReplyDelete*waiting for pitfork-weilding people to come at me*
so i stopped reading after the 3rd book and have no desire to read any more or watch the movies.
it also took me years to read the twilight books; about 4yrs after the last book came out. i guess i'm not much of a bandwagoner.
If you like dragons, I hope you are watching Game of Thrones. Those dragons will BLOW YOUR MIND! My sister is 5 years older than me and was obsessed with HP. She dragged me into liking it too! I mean, how can you not love HP and his shenanigans.

I was above it too. In college all my friends were reading it and I thought they were idiots. Then the movie came out and I reluctantly went with a bunch of friends who read it and went to the Barnes & Nobel party (nerds). I loved it and I own them all. The movies really are so long, but they keep getting better so don't stop! Also, there's nothing worse than telling a friend they MUST watch or listen to something so awesome and having them go, "eh".
