Harry Potter

This is a rare live blog post.

Reasons I LOVE Harry Potter movies and books:

1. confirms my inner geek. I have an outer geek too, but I try to hide her.
2. do y'all have flying dreams? 'cos I do. and Harry Potter movies just throw me into those dreams, because flying on a broom has got to be the coolest thing EVER. Also totes reminded me of my absolutely FAVOURITE ZEMFIRA song: London Sky - forgive the quick translation, I totes thought I translated it before...

I dreamed of the London sky
Of a long kiss
We were flying, not holding onto anything
Which one of us will fall down first,
Break into pieces, onto the Tower Bridge?
In the morning,
I will find out in the morning...
You will find out later...
There is nothing more precious than these dreams.
Without these reminders
I am a lone wolf
What if I miss in the middle of the night,
Take off,
And nobody will know?
Just that lone wolf,
I am counting the steps until the very last destination.
Let’s run and fly!
I dreamed of the London sky,
Of a long kiss
We were waking on clouds there,
Pretending to be London rain,
Together sprinkling on the asphalt.
In the morning,
I will find out in the morning...
You will find out later...
There is nothing more precious than these words.
I am a lone wolf
What if I miss in the middle of the night,
Take off,
And nobody will know.
Just that lone wolf,
I am counting the steps until the very last destination.
Let’s run and fly!
I dreamed of the London sky…

3. People die, and teens have to deal with that. Even if it's just on the screen. For Harry Potter it's totes for real.

4. Emma Watson/Hermione Grainger is hot. She's also a know-it-all, which reminds me of ME being 14. Except that I wasn't a witch OR hot.

5. I REALLY REALLY want to believe in magic. I also totes wish there were Harry Potter books when I was a kid. They make growing up easier.
