I saw it.

I saw the movie. I'm still processing how I feel about it. I'll think about it, and try to articulate it and post more later...

Ally


ps...is this the lamest post ever? I highly suspect it might be.

pps...has anyone out there tried to buy a mattress lately? Do you know how complex the world of mattresses is? Do you have any idea how intimidating I'm finding the process of shopping for something that you literally have to LIE on to buy--all while pushy sales people stand there asking whether you like firm or soft mattresses as if there's no such thing as an in-between mattress (which, evidently, there isn't).

ppps...I'm begginning to seriously worry that I won't make it through all of the old Harry Potters again before I get the new Harry Potter.

pppps...is there anything crazier than 16 three-year-olds hopped up on pizza and cake and locked in a huge gymnastics center with oodles of bouncy padded things?

ppppps....thanks to everyone at BookPeople in Austin, TX for hosting an awesome book club chat on Saturday!

pppppps...has this post become any less lame? I sincerely hope so.

Your still prosesing how you feel about it? So does that mean you liked it? I thought it was awsome! Are you one of those pepole who just watch the moives? I hate it when pepole do that, the books are always better.

Haha Ally you're great...I do think that three-year old thing is very disturbing and scary...and I gave up on finishing them all in time, I'm hoping t finish 7 before anyone gives away the ending...which is hard when you r around lots of kids every evening....It's just my birthday and all this other junk so finding time to lock myself in my room and read will be a challenge...but I'm up to it!

I gave up on reading all of them also, and I'm sad, because I know that if something horrid happens to Harry that I won't be able to read any of the books ever again! It's hard enough watching the latest movie and thinking "Dumbledore, please just stay in your office for all of eternity. And put a charm on it so no bad guys will come near you!" That way he wouldn't get killed. Oh and I'm going to be avoiding the internet and television for a few days while I read the book. I had a dream about it last night, actually, and I cried in my sleep. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I cannot wait until midnight!!! Four days!!!!!!!!! Ah!

Ally, I'm very interested in what you think of the Harry Potter movie, especially in light of the fact that one of your own books may be adapted for film. There were a lot of changes in the transition from book to movie for Phoenix and I think they really took away from the book. How would you feel if they made these sorts of changes to your own work?

There is such thing as an in-between mattress (in my opinion): try a firm mattress with a nice pillow top on it. Mmmm, so nice!
