Harry, We Finally Meet

Today I got to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. (Wow, that title's a mouthful!) Before today, believe it or not, I have never read a Harry Potter novel nor watched a Harry Potter movie. I didn't have any idea what Slytherin was, or that Severus Snape was actually a person (and not a puppet on a YouTube viral), even who Lord Voldemort was (his name sounds like a Pokemon character's HAHA). The most meager knowledge I have is that Daniel Radcliffe played Harry Potter. I got the chance to read and watch Twilight (which eventually I felt was such a drag), but never HP. LOL at me. LOL!

I never got to understand why people were so sad about HP finally ending because I had no affiliation whatsoever to this pop culture craze which some label as their childhood. Every story has to end though and no narrative can go on forever.

So yeah, going back. It's a little surprising how I was able to understand the last movie, even if the whole HP world (Is there a term for it?) seemed so complex and intimidating. HP had its own lingo which excludes the people who never became avid fans. And yes, JK Rowling was successful. I never felt so excluded before. Haha!

But not anymore! At least now I will understand some parts if in case I overhear people flailing over HP.
