Harry Potter
Nov. 23rd, 2010 11:05 amConfession... I have not watched the HP movies past Goblet of Fire. I also have not read Deathly Hallows.
Why? Tbh, I think I Od'd on HP fic. I got so caught up in fanon and the "better" ideas out there that I lost hold with canon. Also I really hated how whiny Harry got.
So, what am I doing? I'm taking a huge break from HP. Once all the movies are out, I will probably acquire the books (I only have 1, 2, and 4 I think) and reread each one, one after the other. At the end of each, watch the movie. In that way, immerse myself in HP again, and try and enjoy it without my preconceptions and ideas of how it "ought" to be.
Maybe then I can fall in love with it again.
