i don't have a lot to add about the harry potter movie. i'm also really excited for the second one. i feel like then i'll be able to really enjoy it.
although, i think they stopped at a good place for this one and i like that. i was talking to a classmate who hasn't seen the movie or read any of the books and i mentioned that my facebook quiz about what wesley i would be had a spoiler because people die at the end of the 7th book. and she was really surprised (sorry to spoil it for you too) and she wanted to know everyone who died. so, i talked about how the 7th books starts with hedwig and madeye dying while helping harry escape. she got kind of mad and talked about how it's kind of dumb that so many people have to die for harry. i laughed and said that that's why the books are so good. because in the book and the movie, harry also freaks out about how so many people are dying for him and he wants to run away. but, his friends point out that they're not dying for him but for something bigger. they're standing up to evil and for their way of life and sometimes bad things happen to people to stand up for what they believe in. i love that about the books. people want to be selfish but the narrative won't let them because it's not always about you but about life.
i can't wait for number 2.

I'm glad they stopped at a good place. I love when people die. I hope this is like Hamlet. Total blood bath. I like what you said about selfish and life. That resonates.
