Senior Night Out
Our big night out to celebrate my birthday, was to go see the new Harry Potter film. Yes, there are some benefits of being "seniors" cheap movie tickets. There are just some movies that have to be seen on the big screen. Harry Potter is one of them. In my opinion it is the special effects that make these movies. The story is great too, but you have already read the books, so it is no great surprise. The casting of Dolores Umbridge was excellent, the villain du jour. I thought Imelda Staunton played the character to perfection. The name again is so clever for the character. For all those people who are upset about witches, get over it, it is only a book of fiction.

Amen, Amen. It was a great movie, although I felt that Imelda seemed to represent the rigid, graceless, effects of--maybe--English religion/Christianity.
Glad you enjoyed the movie.
Right on to the "only a book of fiction."
I still remember reading some detailed explanation of why Harry Potter was evil and Charlotte's Web wasn't. Crazy stuff.
