We put the kids to bed tonight after an eventful afternoon of vomiting and head aches (the kids, not us) and proceeded with our planned date night. We don't get out for real date nights often and never made it to the movie theater to see the latest Harry Potter movie. So, we have been waiting for it to come out on DVD and today was the day. I love these books and can not count how many times I read this last book. I was a bit unsure whether or not I would even like this movie because I knew that I would inevitably be irritated by the discrepancies between the book and the film. I was not wrong about that. I huffed and puffed and wanted to pull out the book at points to remind My Wonderful Husband of the parts that they were changing or leaving out of the movie. To be fair, I realize this was a long book with many details. That is perhaps what I love the most about this book however - the details. The tying up of loose ends. The way the author answered all of my questions from all of the previous books. Ok, I know I am ranting a bit. I am a bit of a book snob and should probably not watch the movies that they adapt from books. This is what My Wonderful Husband reminded me - it is an interpretation of the book. In other words, stop huffing and enjoy the movie. This is our date night after all.
