I have been watching the Harry Potter movies with my son over the past few weeks while he has been finishing up the book series. As he read through Book 7, there were times he would just set down the book, stare blankly at it, and sigh heavily.
I knew what he was feeling.
The last time he did that, as he neared the end of book, I asked him, "Fred?"
He looked up at the ceiling, ".......yeah......"
We watched the final movie tonight. I had forgotten what a good job they had done with it. I commented to Jake that I thought they got everything right but the final fight with Voldermort.
Jake agreed, "They should have kept in what Harry said to Voldermort.... that was important..."
It is probably self centered of me, but I love that Jake loved those books.
I recall that, in a previous post, I had thanked Ms. Rowling for all that her books had given me over the years. Let me also add a thank you as a father, for what you have given my son.
I know things you don't know, Tom Riddle.
