The Harry Potter marathon has reached the third movie. I would’ve watched and the last 2 movies but one movie per day is good enough. Plus I don’t have the patience to sit in front of the TV for more than 3 hours. I think that’s why I find it hard sometimes to watch Bollywood movies.

This weekend I saw a movie that I wanted to see when I was in high school but couldn’t, cause no one wanted to go with me/they were busy/had a life/etc. It’s called “Home on the range“. It’s an really old movie from 2004. But it has two things that I really love: cows and rabbits (well just one rabbit, but that is more than enough). It was a cute movie, worth watching with the entire family and I’m glad that after 5 years I finally watched it. Oh, while we were watching it (me and Johnny that is) we felt the sofa moving and the parrot just went berserk in his cage. It was a “small” earthquake if you can call it that. I live at the 6th floor so it was a bit scary. Hopefully we won’t be getting a bigger earthquake as in Italy, cause the results could be far worse.

Anyway, I just realised that there are a lot of old movies that I want to see. And most of them are recommendations from friends and coworkers (“August rush”, “Zeitgeist”, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”; I don’t even want to think about Korean horror movies and Bollywood movies). So I think I’ll take it slowly. I’ll finish the Harry Potter marathon and move on to “Ballet Shoes” (2007) and “Driving Lessons” (2006). I’m just curious what kind of characters Emma Watson and Rupert Grint play besides Hermione and Ron. Plus I think I was really lucky to find these two movies since they aren’t that well known.

There have been many articles on the net with pictures from “Harry Potter and the half blood prince” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows“. So I decided to watch the first 5 movies because I forgot some things. It’s a good way to waste some time, plus I didn’t even saw the 5th movie in the first place.

I must say, I am pretty much surprised of how much Emma, Rupert and Daniel have grown. When I first saw the first Harry Potter movie  back in 2001 I was a kid (just 14 years old) so I didn’t considered them cute, I just liked the movie. But now after I re-saw the first 2 Harry Potter movies, I thought to myself ”HOW CUTE!!!”. Well I did turn 22 on 15th April so I can say that my point of view did change.

The only bummer part of this marathon is that no one wants to watch the movies with me. It seems that I am the only one from my current group of friends that is interested in Harry Potter. I wanted to watch the first movie in my brother’s room, but when he came home and saw me all he could say was “Why me? What did I do wrong?”. After that I had to watch the movie in the living room, all alone. Not even Johnny wants to see the movies. So I guess I won’t be going to the cinema to see  ”Harry Potter and the half blood prince“, I’ll just have to wait for the DVD version. But who knows, the movie isn’t in the theaters right now and maybe I can change Johnny’s mind till then.

By the way, Emma Watson has grown really beautiful. Kinda makes me jealous.
