We did it. We said good-bye. Somewhere around 7:30 p.m. tonight, our little family watched the last of the Harry Potter films. I brought tissues and we cheered and clapped and cried with 400 hundred other people. My most tearful moment came at the end when Harry, Ron and Hermione are shown standing together looking off into the distance. It hit me that that was it. After ten years of films, we will never see another new Harry Potter film.
Some people don't understand the hype and that's fine. Kelly and I have both read and shared the series, and Heather and Jenna have seen all the films. It's been a fun family adventure, and I know it's not for everyone. It was our babysitter, Ashely Snow, who at 13 told us her friend gave her a challenge--to read the first three chapters of book one and see if it interested her. Ashley had done that, and that's what got Kelly into them. It is a very well-written and clever series. If you're ever in the market for a new story, give it a go.

It is kind of sad. We wait and wait for the movies to come out and then they are over. Glad you got to see it together!
