I first heard about Harry Potter when my pal Helen was obsessed with the books. I had intended on reading them, but then the hype engine went into full swing and I just couldn't bear to have anything to do with those freaky spectacles. Now that the popularity has wound down, I figured I could handle watching the DVD, and I actually enjoyed it. I thought the first half was much better than the second, since I was more interested in the whole dual world thing than the actual "evil plot". The effects were pretty cool, too. I can't say I'll lose any sleep until the sequel comes out, but I'm sure I'll rent it eventually.Labels: harry potter, movies
