Harry Potter and the Major Obsession, Part II

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is now only 4 days until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II is released, and like a witch's cauldron, excitement is boiling over.

I really don't know much else to say other than, "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" as I've pretty much said most of it nine months ago, when I posted my first rambling on Harry Potter and my major obsession with the series, which by the way, does not seem like it has been that long.  I'm glad to have had many things keeping me busy during that time as I'm sure the last nine months would have felt more like 90, during the anticipation of Harry's final adventure to the big screen.  And I must predict that this will definitely be his biggest and most exciting adventure of all.

I have every confidence in my prediction as I have read the book (twice) and the film adaptation promises to be a kaleidoscope of justice, revenge, loyalty and perseverance.  The action in the trailers looks incredible and I am just DYING to watch some of my favorite supporting characters finally kick was major ass (Hello, McGonagall & Mrs. Weasley!)

Now, I am well aware, and have come to terms with this being the final Harry Potter film.  I have had some experience while dealing with the trepidation of reading the last words of the book with the same name.  Of course, there is this whole Pottermore thing that'll be taking place soon, and I'm sure it'll be interesting since it's the brainchild of J.K. Rowling, but I honestly don't know enough about it to be excited, so I find no solace in Rowling's efforts to lessen the sting.  Besides, my obsession with the Potter Series has always been limited to the films and books and not the "extended universe".  But we'll see, it's difficult to be optimistic when you know one of your favorite franchises is coming towards its end.

So, as of July 15th, it'll all be over.  I realize the pointlessness of this post, but I figured I had to say something since it would be my final chance. <tear drop>

Oh, and one more thing... AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Harry Potter and the Major Obsession

For those who know me know that Harry Potter is not a little obsession with me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a full-blown Potterhead. I don't memorize passages in the books or collect Ron and Hermione bobble head dolls, but I do anxiously await with jittery anticipation for the next movies. I would do the same for the books, but alas, there will be no more of those (at least that's current story.)

I bring this up today because as I was watching the morning news, a new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 TV spot appeared with about 75% new footage that I had never seen before. I was even at Comic-Con and viewed the exclusive Harry Potter trailer there, (which no one has seen since) and still recognized new footage that has sent me into a Harry Potter tizzy.

I realize that it is less than one month now until opening day (November 19th -- in sharpie, circled, highlighted), but there is always that day where time begins to drag 'til that monumental day. Well, today is that day for me. It's a very familiar feeling, like when I waited for Christmas as a child.

Now, I know there are far more obsessed muggles out there than myself and I would love to hear from them about what they do to pass the time. As for myself, I watch all the previous movies and maybe re-read a book or two. I also keep telling myself that there will be a day in the near future where I will own the movie and be able to watch it whenever I wish. This does seem to help... a little.

Okay, obsessive muggles. What do you do?

By the way, 25 days and counting! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!
