This weekend I realized how much I love Harry Potter, movies and books. This weekend was a Harry Potter weekend on ABC Family. I had it on all Saturday and turned it on first thing this morning. I don't know how many times I have seen each movie. Watching them is just a relaxing thing for me. I like getting caught up in the magic and adventure.
My favorite Harry Potter movie of all times is the movie seven part two. It was so epic! The graphics were awesome and the story line was mostly accurate. I saw it in the movie theater so it was on a huge screen, which made everything better. Another favorite is the fourth one, the Goblet of Fire. This one just has so much action and it has mystery in it. I like the Triwizard scene and all of the competitions. I have seen this one multiple time and it really does not get old, even though I know what is going to happen. When it gets to the part where Harry and Cedric are reaching for the cup in the maze, I think "NO don't do it! It's a trap!" But I know it will be okay in the end.
My least favorite one is probably number one. I think this is because it is so old and it just looks out dated. Also, I have seen it a lot and knows what happens anyway. Harry Potter is really young and doesn't look as cute. I think this is partly why I like the newer ones because he is a little more mature and athletic. Also, the effects are not that good and the computerization of the castle looks weird. At the time it looked good, but in comparison to all the other movies, it could have been way better.
I think J.K. Rowling did a really good job on writing her books. The movies don't give much credit to them. They are way better than the movies because there is so much detail. With the movies you just get the just of what is going on. If you read the books you find out the background of things and why this happened and this didn't. The books are a must read.

My Birthday!
Today is my birthday! It is also my sister's birthday, too. Today the one of the best days I have had in a long time. It was full of surprises and I just felt really loved.
When I woke up I found my door to be decorated! It had shiny garland and a "happy birthday" banner. It looked so cool! Last night I had heard something rustling and I thought it was something in my roommate's closet. So I had her get up and check it out. It wasn't anything, but I could still hear that noise. Well, it turns out it was my friends decorating my door. They figured I would be asleep already, but I had decided to stay up a little later to get a paper done.
Today I had to get up early to go to the Rotary meeting. It started at 7 am! Then I had to work at 7:45 until 9:30. At ten I had to meet my bio lab group to work on our presentation. After that I ate lunch and went to the health fair. Since it was my birthday I got a $15 gift card to Walmart! Thanks, Noah Health Clinic! I got a lot of free stuff at the fair.
After the fair, I got an email saying I had a delivery at the info desk. I was walking to go get it and I hear my name being called. Emily and Sam were running across the field. Sam ran inside Clinton and Emily walked with me to go get my package. I had a weird feeling about this because Sam just disappeared. My package was a bouquet of flowers from my parents! They are so pretty! After picking that up, Emily and I went back to my room and no one was in there except for my roommate. A couple seconds later I hear my name being called down the hall. Sam and Kellie walk into my room with a sack of presents and donuts! The donuts were delicious and the presents were awesome! Emily got me Walk the Line, hair bands, and slipper socks. Sam got me a Wartburg t-shirt and earrings. Kellie got me popcorn, Fool's Gold, and a snuggie! The gifts are all wonderful! I have such awesome friends! Also, I think they are taking me out Friday night, but I don't know where!
Tonight I also Skyped with my parents and sister! It was so good to talk to them! Today I realized that this is the first birthday I have spent apart from my sister. I guess I have never really thought about it much before. It is a little weird to be apart. I know this is going to sound bad, but my roommate reminded me about texting my sister happy birthday. I think I just knew it was her birthday and we always see each other and tell each other, but it was a little different this time. I guess from now on this is how it will be. Thats a little sad to think about.
