Aaah! What will life be like when we don't have a new "Harry Potter" movie to look forward to? We're trying not to think about it. (Yeah, yeah, we can always re-read the books, and surely there will be other exciting movies on the horizon. "The Hunger Games," anyone?)
Still, it's hard to believe that the seventh and almost-final flick is opening in the U.S. next weekend. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part One" is the beginning of the end, of course, but it's also a chance to revisit the cast members who are now as dear to Potter fans as the books themselves. We actually feel a little proud to see how much Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint have grown as people and as actors. We're counting down the days and will be back here next week with a review of the shiny new movie. In the meantime, here's a peek at the scene of last night's world premiere at the Odeon Theatre in London's Leicester Square.
What have these films meant to you? Do you keep them separate from the books in your heart and mind? Do you feel like you've grown up with them and they've become a huge part of your life? Do you just go along for the pop cultural ride? What parts of yourself and your own life do you see in these stories? (Not an assignment, just some fun things to ponder and possibly post on our What's On Your Mind? page!)
