Harry Potter Report 3
I took a break from reading this afternoon to go see the movie “Wedding Crashers” with Dan. What an enjoyable movie. Absolutely a silly summer comedy, the writing and comedic acting were extremely well done, especially by the two very likable main characters played by Own Wilson and Vince Vaughn. Devoid of bathroom humor, the witty dialogue, light use of physical comedy, and amusing situations left the comedy much funnier than most I have seen recently. I highly recommend it.
Woodie picked up his copy of Book 6 this morning, and he and I have been in a mild read-off. I must say I am far ahead of him – page 450 to his 300, so I doubt I will have any trouble maintaining this lead and thus able to spoil the ending for all you readers as quickly as possible. Overall, this book has yet to disappoint. Intriguing characters, great backhistory, and plotlines still kept in the dark – I am frantically turning pages.
I do believe I will be able to finish the book by tonight with no trouble. Depsite a legion of adult readers, the books are still geared for children and thus I don’t find myself having to look up words and reread passages. Although, this book does take some risks. I was shocked to read the word “slut” on one of the pages. I do believe some interesting conversations could result from a child’s innocent question about the meaning of that word.
