Growing up with Harry Potter!

My younger brothers three children all grew up on the Harry Potter books! The youngest,my neice Randi,has seen all the Harry Potter movies. I never read the books or seen the movies. Those types of books and movies aren't for me. My sister-in-law loves Harry Potter too! She has seen all the movies and read the books! What amazes me about those books is my brother Mike read all the Harry Potter books! My brother is not much of a reader and most of those books have hundreds and hundreds of pages! He totally amazed me! The Harry Potter saga has had a long run which will continue as long as people contiue reading the books!

Well it was a good book and movie. Kudos to J.K. Rowling. I feel sad though because I will really miss it much. I've grown up with it. It's like losing a friend. But I did like the last movie. :)

Harry Potter is a good movie because not only we enjoy them because it's a fantasy film but whenever it's being shown at or just at home watching it, you can be with your friends and your family as it's your time together. I haven't seen the last film yet since I am busy with work but I will try to catch it maybe this weekend.

Hi Eileen! I agree, they are lucky to have grown up with Harry Potter. I confess that I am an avid Harry fan since I was introduced to this book. I resisted reading it at first, deeming it a children's book. But curiousity got the better of me and I visited Powerbooks every lunch time just to read the book. I did not want to buy it at first because I was then newly employed and I was not sure if it was a good buy. But I enjoyed it! I re-learned lessons in life in those pages. I learned a lot from Dumbledore, like not judging people on the basis of their lineage. The books have a lot of basic lessons which hit me every now and then. Sometimes, I get to use the story to deliver a point to my nephews and nieces and godchildren. They usually get my point at once. The lessons may be simple but it cuts across generations and surprisingly enough, universal in theme. I said goodbye to the series with a little sadness in my heart.

Although Harry potter is just fine with me, I am more of a Star Wars kidand my eldest son preferred Spiderman. My niece , my elder sister's daughter is the true HP kid, she read all the books and watched all the episodes.

I also grew up getting to know the phenomenol trio! I read all the books and seen all the movies. I wish my children would have grown up being a part of their fantastic journey!

I've loved Harry Potter ever since my cousin read one of the books (can't remember which) with the perfect accent, sounded just like the characters, lol! Haven't seen the last 3 movies and I haven't read all of the books but one day I'd like to buy the entire collection of both. But honestly it's sad to see it end and I almost don't want to watch the last movie :(

Harry Potter is fine but frankly I can't really appreciate it more than I do LOTR. I have yet to see the last episode so it's probably a couple of months waiting before it's shown on TV.

Hi eileen leyva: I feel identified with your story. I was not exactly a kid, I was a teenager when I first read Harry Potter but I felt in love with the saga inmediatly. I love both the books and the films and I have watched them all. This final chapter is very important forme. For the moment I have watched this film twice but I am planning to watch it once every week until it won't be available on the cinemas. That's the best way to say goodbye to this film I really appreciate and of course I'll buy the Deluxe Edition with all the 8 films when it will be available, hopefully at the end of this year. ALVARO

I guess we are missing the series coz it signifies our own growing older and growing up too! And every year there is a movie release with all its hype and activities. I feel that it is just as well as the series is ending as the plot seems to be getting 'darker' and 'darker'. I would like to remember the child actors and actresses in their youth and element and not any others.
