Last Monday my family and I watched the first five movies of the Harry Potter series and the first Lord of the Rings movie. I have to say it was tiring, who knew watching movies could get so taxing?
My favorite Harry Potter movie so far is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. My cousin and my brother think so as well. It was a really hot that afternoon and we were watching it in the Living room with only one electric fan. Our savior was some dirty ice cream (not really dirty) and some burnt popcorn. Burnt popcorn courtesy of my sister and dirty ice cream courtesy of the Ice cream man at the front of the school which is in front of our house. My comment about the Lord of the Rings movie is that it's tediously long. It's nice , the story is probably good but it's really long. I didn't notice how small hobbits were before. My brother made a rude comment about Frodo and Sam being gay, I disagreed.
Both of the two kinds of movies I watched with my cousins and my siblings had really good lessons in them. I greatly admire Harry Potter even though he is fictional. His life is bittersweet, most of the time bitter rather than sweet. I love all the lessons, quotes and special effects of Harry Potter movies. And most of all I like the fact that there's always hope for muggles and wizards and witches alike just as long there's a person brave enough to do what is right. I am not talking about the person whom you might be thinking of in relation to our country and it's problems. I hold no expectations for just one man. I am holding hope for the people in our country. That some day we will find peace. I hope that we all would realize that the darkest hour is before the dawn. that we should never give up on our country no matter how appealing the idea might be sometimes.
