Dear Reader,
Happy Independence Day! I hope you are getting a well deserved break over this holiday. I am looking forward myself to seeing the last installment of Harry Potter in theatres on July 15th at 12:01 AM at the IMAX in 3D.
I have read the Harry Potter books twice, and I have endured relentless ribbing from my husband. He has not read them, but enjoys making frequent immature retorts whenever he sees me with a Harry Potter book regarding his opinion of what a teenage boy would do if he really possessed a magic wand. When he found out I had bought tickets for the premier, he had more derisive comments and snickers about the “Dumbledorks” and other nerds that would be surrounding me in line to see the movie. Then he was apoplectic that I had not considered he would go with me. I told him it was imperative that he read all the books first, for he had not seen all the movies and I did not want the Harry Potter literary experience to be spoiled for him. My thinking was that perhaps if he read the books I wouldn’t have to endure any more lude wand jokes. My husband agreed! The date was June 25th. That left 20 days to read all seven books, which doesn’t sound too hard, but my husband does have to work for a living, watch sports, and sleep at some point. I sweetened the pot immediately by changing the cat litter boxes and offering to do many other household chores. Umm, did I mention that I have the slight complication that every babysitter we know so far also has tickets for the premier?
Will my husband get through all the books? If he does, will he continue his relentless teasing? Will I find a babysitter without a felony conviction? Stay tuned for the outcome... Meanwhile, remember as you don your Professor McGonagall costume and venture out at midnight to join the multitudes, we are blessed to live in a free country where we are free to do this!
