Reading Harry Potter Book 7

Well I went to bed around 2am but couldn't really sleep so I got up around 7am and started to read the final Harry Potter book. I was conflicted because I want to read it and find out what happens but then I don't want to read it to fast and finish it because this is the last. I managed to read two chapters the morning I got it and I read another nine chapters today. I figure if I read about 12 chapters a day I can read it in three days. Will see how that works. So far the book is awesome... so dark and so good. JK has really outdone herself and I'm only on the first 11 chapters... I can't wait to read more.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Well it's finally here.. the final book in the wonderful Harry Potter series is being released at 12:01am Saturday. Tom, Bruce and I went to a Borders "Harry Potter Book party" Friday night. It was a lot of fun, there were a ton of people there, some dressed (yes I dressed as a Hogwarts student) but everyone was very excited to get their hands on the last Harry Potter book. Since we didn't pre-order the book from Borders we decided to head over to Ralphs to get our books at 12:01. We got to Ralphs and the parking lot was full. There were about thirty people in line waiting for 12:01 to hit so we could get the book. Well I finally got my book around 12:15am and was very excited yet very depressed. I'm excited to read the final book.. but this is the final book. There will be no more Harry Potter books. No more book parties, No more exciting anticipation, No more Harry Potter. There will never be anything else like the phenomena called Harry Potter.

Bruce and I actually sat down on my couch around 1am and read the first chapter. Bruce left and I read one more chapter before I went to sleep. I need to read this book within five days since I'm going to comic con and I don't want to be spoiled. I'm sure I'll have not problem doing so.

Last of the Wedding Stuff

This was our last weekend to finish up getting all of our wedding stuff. We got alcohol, various cups, organized music, and pick up some odds and ends.. Now there are only a few little things left to get but everything seems to be in order.

Harry Potter 5 In IMAX

Today Harry and I went to Citywalk to see Harry Potter 5 at the IMAX theater. The last twenty minutes are in 3D. All I have to say is WOW. I loved this movie already and seeing it on one of the biggest screens and in 3D made me love it even more. Such a great experience. The only weird thing is when they let us out of the theater, they ushered us out the back and no one knew where to go so we walked around the back area of Citywalk then into the employee only section going up stairs and down escalators. We finally found our way back to the front of Citywalk.. it was very bizarre. Anyways.. loved the movie in 3D.

Finally Completed My HP Costume

Well last year I got my Harry Potter Gryffindor robe, scarf and vest but I needed a tie. They didn't have the tie I wanted. I have waited for months for them to get them in stock. Well today I finally went to Whimsic Alley and got the last of the adult tie that I have been waiting for. Now I have my complete Hogwarts Costume. Harry Potter Rocks!!!!!

Comic Con Schedule

Today the Comic Con Schedule came out. Now I can go through the four days and create my schedule of what I would like to see. Of course I never stick by it but it's nice to see what I will be missing. There are always things that are a must and then there are things that I can see if I get tired of walking around the dealers room. As always there are tons of conflict but I just have to pick and choose what I really want to see. I can't wait for Comic Con.
