Today’s Passion is for Potter
It has happened at last. The long-awaited finale of the Harry Potter series of films has finally arrived at the big screen around the world. Fans have been eagerly, even desperately, awaiting its arrival, especially since the producers and directors have hinted that it was going to be the best of the best. More special effects, more pyrotechnics, more drama, more deaths …
Like many thousands, if not millions, of people, I was looking forward to the release of this eighth and final film in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part Two. I have followed the books and films for many years now, and I was keen to see how the films would be resolved.
I was not as keen as some people! A young woman I know, in her very early twenties, was crying with anticipation and excitement before she went to see the last film. She and her friends had booked their seats at the local cinema for the opening night just as soon as the date was announced. For weeks before the film was released, all they could talk about was how excited they were, and also how sad, that it was all coming to an end.
On the night in question, it nearly all came to a disaster. The designated driver collected the last of the party, only to find that she had nearly run out of petrol. In a frantic search for diesel for her car, they very nearly arrived at the cinema late!
Those of them who stayed in London to see the film were the most restrained ones. Some of my friend’s acquaintances actually flew to America to see this eighth Harry Potter film. On an online internet forum for Harry Potter fans, they had met several other enthusiasts, who had decided to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Universal Studies visitor attraction in Orlando, Florida, in order to have not just an evening at the cinema, but also a whole Harry Potter-themed holiday.
