I read the first few Harry Potter books in college. I thought they were awesome! They were like nothing I had ever read before. This was long before the films were out and I was very excited to see how the book series would grow over the years, then it happened...I read the fifth book and they lost me. I thought it was boring and had way too much exposition. In fact, I could not read it all the way through. So I wrote off the series and decided one day I would return most likely to just watch the films.
Fast forward quite a few years to present day, where now all the books are released and so are the films. I really wanted my wife to watch the movies because I thought she would like them. She enjoys fantasy type movies much more than I. So, one fateful night we bought all of them and for a weeks time we watched nothing but Harry Potter movies. The best part was the finale to our movie watching marathon. We got to watch the last one in the theater because it had just been released. My wife loved the movies and immediately became engaged in them and was always excited to see the next one. In fact, we have already discussed re-watching the series again.
Now I want to go back and read all the books...even the fifth one.
So I decided early on I was going to watch each one and come up with one sentence to a few sentences that summed up each of the movies for me.
So here you go:
1: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
That Dursley boy looks mighty fine with a pigs tail.
2: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Ron Weasley + spiders = Vagina
3: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Apparently uniforms are not as required as they were last year. However clothes that look like they are sponsored from J. Crew are the new norm...oh yeah, and puberty is hilarious by the way.
4: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
That Twilight kid isn't as ugly when he is not covered in that pasty vampire make-up.
5: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Hair cuts all around! But the real news is that Harry Potter wears Converse!
6: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Dumbledore might die but at least now I know what a horcrux is.
7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - part 1
In the end it's you and the people who matter...except your house elf, they get cut.
7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - part 2
War sucks..even in the wonderful wizarding world of Harry Potter.
