Waving Goodbye To Childhood part 1

Garamond has always been the official Harry Potter font in all of the Harry Potter series. I would like to do this in that font however it's not being supplied in this blog. November 18 was the date when the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows would be released. November 14 was the premier, I think, here in the Philippines. 

I was one of the few who actually made a countdown for the Harry Potter epidemic until the release date would come. I was planning to watch it on the weekend with my boyfriend instead of watching it on the premier however the Harry Potter disease was everywhere. At the office, I would hear fans and non-fans bragging about the tickets they've booked beforehand. I was the only one who did not book a ticket to think that the whole world knows that Harry Potter is screaming Avada Kedavra on my forehead. Me and my friend, Aggy, took a taxi after shift and I dropped her off at the cinemas because she's one of the non-fan, muggle born people who will be watching the movie. Me, on the other sad hand, went straight home like nothing is happening although on my way home i could hear people talking about the infamous movie. It's like everytime I hear his name, I feel the itch. I finally coped up with the pressure around me and managed to go home like nothing's ever happened. My mantra that time was "It's David Yates! It's David Yates! It would be just like book 6 and the twilight-ish atmosphere and not a dark English movie!!" It was just to put me at ease on a very stormy mental sea trip.

I reached home and I saw my two other housemates,AC and Michi, who were with me when we watched and got disappointed last year with David Yates' book 6. We were those who felt at loss with how the movie turned out. So there they were, sprawled out on the floor watching NCIS. I was presuming that they also have the same DAvid Yates mantra that day since they really can't watch it because of their schedule. So I changed my clothes to the usual tattered Dobby-ish clothes I usually wear when I'm at home and squatted beside them to watch my favorite Abby do her thing in NCIS. We watched silently and I really felt something is wrong. I asked them, "Are you sure we won't be watching it together on its release date?" and they chorused with their sad answers that they have shifts. I asked again if we can still avail the tickets even if it's the same day that we will watch it and they told me ever so negatively that it's already too late. In hopelessness, I asked if it's only the Ayala Malls who had Harry Potter in their movies and they said Yes. And I was through with it! I stood up, went out, walked my way to waltermart hoping against hope and Voila! Harry Potter was there!!! I dashed towards the ticket line, keeping my fingers crossed about getting the reserved seat. The lucky stars must have been with me since I managed to book a ticket and there was nobody beside me on my seat!!! The world must've presumed that the movie was just in all Ayala Malls. My schedule was for 1:50pm so I dropped by at Starbucks with my Dobby-ish clothes, ordered iced coffee and waited for 1:50pm in excitement. That day, for the first time, I watched the first part of the Deathly Hollows alone.
