Harry Potter

july 13 2007

The kids went to the Harry Potter movie: The Order of the Phoenix.

It was quite an ordeal to get tickets. Ofcourse most of the covenient times were sold out, so we had to settle for 20.30 hours, so they would have to go home on bycicle and arrive at midnight.

After a small dinner they went... loaded with drinks and snacks.
Going to the movie is a vacation outing, so everything to make it special was pulled out of stock.

I had to stay home with those who didn't want to go, and to be honest, I've never had the time to watch a full Harry Potter movie, so why go to one later in the sequence?

When they came home I wondered why they had gone.
When I asked: "How was it", I got answers like: "Best", "Hmmm it was OK.", and then they started to tell how the cinema was loaded and the line for the toilets was far too long.

This morning, they were more enthousiastic.
And when they started to tell about it they couldn't wait to tell more and more, untill I had quite a good impression of the story, the effects, and their wishes for the next movie.

Well, it's clear they want more Harry Potter books and movies. LOL!
