A Day Off
November 24th, 2010 @ 7:44 am

Mum suggested about two weeks ago that I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on the 23rd of November which was yesterday and that meant that I didn’t have to go to Luke’s Place and I told the workers that I work with at the library that I wouldn’t be there on the 23rd as I was seeing the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One movie with my mum.

The people at the library that I told this to were all quite happy to let me have a day off and so yesterday mum and I went to Redbank to see the movie, then as we got to Tivoli mum remembered that she hadn’t rang Luke’s Place in Laidley so she pulled over to ring dad and got him to ring them.

Luckily there was still time to ring them.

Anyway we got to Redbank and as there was over an hour before the movie started I went to the Angus and Robertson Bookshop which was a floor below the cinema and mum went back up to K Mart and then after I looked inside the bookshop I waited outside the bookshop as mum told me to wait there.

And when she came back we then went back up on the top floor and mum brought the thick shakes and a couple of doughnuts each and I brought the tickets.

Then while we waited for the movie to start mum said to me “remember when we were in the cinema one other time when it was packed out with school kids?”

She then asked “that was a Harry Potter movie as well wasn’t it?” And I said “yes and I guess it gone on for too long as the cinema that mum and I was in wasn’t packed with school kids. We then saw the movie and I thought it was alright, but they left a lot of things out though I still had a tear in my eye when Dobby died after rescuing Harry and his friends.

    Hi Jo, sounds like you and Mum had a nice day off together. Shame about Dobby (I haven’t read the books so didn’t know).

    Hi Liss, mum told me that she didn’t enjoy the movie that much as she didn’t know the characters.

    Also I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed that the movie makers had left quite a few scenes out that was in the book like when Harry asks Kreacher who is another house elf like Dobby about the locket as they had to find the locket that had the Horcrux in it as Voldemort divided his soul which made him immortal and Harry, Ron, and Hermione had to find each horcrux and destroy them. Anyway, I’m getting sidetracked as why I was disappointed is because they didn’t let Kreacher say his story about him going to a cave with Voldemort and what happen to him.

    However in the movie they made Hedwig who is Harry’s owl die protecting him and Harry told Remus that he thought that they noticed Hedwig which might have given him away. I thought that having Hedwig flying around but getting killed was better than getting killed while in her bird cage. But I’m glad that I saw the movie.

    Oh a greater shame about poor Hedwig. I liked that owl.
