It's the count down to the U. S. release of Harry Potter Part 2 and I can't wait. I mentioned to Bob this morning that of my friends on FaceBook there are only two or three others who seem to have the same intense interest as I do and as the oldest of the three or four I wonder if I have my priorities straight - but I don't care about that, but what does it mean for a 65 plus a few years old woman to love Harry Potter!!!
When I grab onto something with interest it is a full mind obsession. I will admit there are things about Potter that I haven't quite grasped by I am not bothered by it - I have plenty of time to find the reason, no one's pressing me.
I am totally and completely amazed by J. K. Rowling and her imagination and there's more to come. How creative can that be??? Totally amazingly talented. She is a very humble person. Her reaction when she saw herself on the big screen at the premiere was sort of funny, she didn't want to look at herself, even though she looked great. Her reaction was of humility, not concerned with her looks per se as so many big stars are - she just wanted to be with her actors and her fans.
I have signed up for Pottermore however I feel like a beetle in a pond of water. I will wade in until I get a grip of what is expected. In no way can I compete with the young "wizards" who have grown up in the technology world of computer games. I am a solid computer person - my computers and I have 3 computers - and I are as close as my favorite wooden spoon or my excellent rubber spatula with the metal handles and my Kitchen aid mixer. There is no me without computer, however, I may have a higher than average understanding of my machines, I am not as up on the games as many are - I have not delve into that realm of life - maybe it's a fear of become obsessive.......again....on something new. Just think about it really, this machine can take us anywhere we want to go without leaving our comfort stage for the moment. Unless the web cam is turned on no one knows if I've combed my hair - amazing and I love it!! Don't have to prove anything to anyone - but I can fill my mind until it explodes.
But, back to Pottermore, I am nervous. I have signed up and they accepted my email address. I hope I can remember my password. I do change it and sometimes forget to write it down even if I do it in code, sometimes I forget my code - that's what I lay on being a senior citizen but I know it happens to everyone too. I am hoping once I am IN Pottermore I will be guided through the maze so I can advance appropriately, I don't want to be stuck in one area. But, I am scared, apprehensive, by fingers are shaking thinking of this new Harry Potter world that is suppose to offer the fans new information. I just hope I can get with it and learn.
I did realize recently that I had a crush on Severus Snape - I couldn't believe it. Then when I saw "him" at the Premiere I was totally zapped!!! Alan Rickman is as he is - his voice is awesome. I told my husband he needed to get a black outfit like Severus and change his voice to a low slow pitch. Oh - it's ok, we're married 47 years and he isn't surprised by anything new.Have a truly wonderful day. Take good care. And, best of all may God bless you with all that you need to get you through this beautiful day!
