When grown people started reading these books that were formerly thought to be just for kids, Bridget gave it a shot. She made it through the first one, but then they started printing them like "real" books. That is, without double spacing and gigantic font size. That's when she decidedly became a faker of all things Harry Potter."Um, I'm a hugh-rahhh-if-findor, that's it! Gryffindor!" Phew, close one.
When the movies come out, she goes to see them stealthily so as not to be seen acting surprised by any occurences that she must have "forgotten" from the books. If caught, she'd offer in her defense that "there's almost no kissing even. What is there to root for? Right, good against evil and all of that, but what else? Just 700 pages of schoolwork. Honestly."
But here, Bridget and I have a HUGE difference of opinion! And I will be showing my support for all things Harry when HP7: Part 1 comes out on Friday!
Hah, too funny! I've yet to read or see a Harry Potter book/movie, but I just know I'll love them when I do. Maybe over Xmas break, it will be my fun reading goal.
