At The Close

I went to see the last Harry Potter movie at midnight last night. I can't believe it's actually over. I got the first book for my eleventh birthday, and actually believed I might get my Hogwarts letter too. I have invested more than a decade in this series. And now it's done.

WAY past our bedtime. Matt had a 5-hour Energy shot and a gigantic Diet Coke, and was still tired.

I didn't get a chance to come up with a costume like I had for so many previous movie and book premieres, but luckily my friend A sent me an early birthday gift — a T-shirt of the seven horcruxes — and I wore that instead. I have such awesome friends.

Harry and friends, I've enjoyed your adventures. Farewell ... until the DVD box set comes out ...

Anyone else head to the midnight premiere? Did you dress up?
