今星期五，Harry Potter(HP)電影系列最終回會在美國公映，我很期待，但亦有點不捨得。HP當然不是伴著我成長(因我一早已長大了！)但畢竟，過去十多年，在我的生命的上上落落裡，HP一直陪伴著我啊！
我不是在1997-8年就閱讀第一冊的讀者，但也是早一期的粉絲。記得在1999年初在未拆局的市政局秘書處工作時，買了HP第二冊，得悉同房的同事有第一冊，即借來重頭開始看。我跟那個同事雖然只共事了八個月，但就成為十多年的好朋友，至今我每次回港都一定出來見見面，因HP而結的緣。
自1999年到2007年最後一冊，我就跟其他粉絲一樣，心急地期待每一冊的出版，出版日去買書，跟著埋首默默看，盡量希望一口氣看完那幾百頁。
最初知道HP會被拍成電影時，真的很擔心電影版會破壞它的創意及故事，因為要把HP裡建立的巫師與魔法純虛構世界影像化不容易啊，如用了劣質或低成本的視覺效果，就會毀了一切！
幸好作者J.K. Rowling在電影系列由選角到製作都有極高參與，2001年看完第一套電影後就不再太擔心了。
有趣的是，在過去十多年我有幾個伴侶，當中只有一個同樣是HP粉絲，可以跟他暢談HP的一切而不被當怪獸！我的老公在認識我之前，也對HP沒認識，只知道他的兩個女兒是粉絲；但經我影響，他已在過去幾年看齊過去七套電影，也聽得明我跟他說的HP用詞，最近還能全答中一個HP粉絲網上問卷呢！
也因為我的栽培，去年六月HP主題公園在佛羅里達州開幕時，我說要去他也十分支持呢！(他是在場少有能完全明白所有場景道具的中年麻甩佬呢！)(遊記在此)
去年聖誕前，在Sam’s Club看到這本書，內裡有電影系列的情節及製作花絮，最難得是加上很多電影裡出現過的道具，即刻買下來，如果你也是粉絲，一定要買！
第一集邀請HP去Hogwarts的入學通知
在多集都有出現，真的可以打開的Marauder’s Map。(可以隨時看到學校內各巫師的位置)
第五集變態校監不停發出的新校規！

今個週末後，HP世界跟我的世界重疊的地方，將告一段落，如果你不是HP粉絲，你是不會明白我的心情的。
I'm with you, gal... I'm with you! I was crazy enough to go reserve the book at Borders, got my book at midnight (with tons of little kids), finish each one in less than a day (start reading when Brian's driving, read through the night, kind of fall asleep but keep reading when I wake up! lol)... fortunately Brian was okay with my craziness. Actually I didn't start reading it till... the movie. I remembered my first encounter with HP was my piano students (8, 9 years old) were crazy about that in HK, they told me all about that and even wanted me to read it but I just never got a chance. Anyway, when the first movie's out. I read all the one being published and been the fans since then! I can't wait to watch the movie, but we have to wait till Brian's mom to get here, so that we can have someone babysit Cole. (I did ask Brian if I could just watch it by myself first... but he said no... lol!) I've read the whole collection many times (especially right after the "new" book's out, I always tried to read the previous ones to refresh my memory), Brian even got me a small harry potter lego set when we were dating before! lol!

我好早就睇書喇，依家睇番頭兩冊，真係估唔到之後嗰啲情節會咁複雜同咁大規模呀，果然無令人失望。電影係好，不過我仍然覺得書更好。
好在我依家老公可以俾我感染到少少，同佢講劇情佢都唔會覺得我係傻婆，佢去Universal Studio都好開心架。
琴晚睇咗套戲喇，都OK嘅，但俾我想像中短同簡單，可能埋尾要交待劇情啦。
I'll have to check out that book you've mentioned when I go back to GA!
回覆刪除[版主回覆07/18/2011 23:51:00]本書好值得買！我本來想買多一本未開封嘅嚟留念，或者送俾人，但係之後都見唔到嘞，不過網上一定有得賣。
屋企有哂全套書, 我無睇過.... 不過聽個仔講, 睇書好過睇戲好多喎!!
回覆刪除[版主回覆07/20/2011 01:37:00]當然係書好睇啲，內容豐富好多嘛，但啲戲都已經算唔好差，算係咁架喇。
咁阿仔係睇中文版定英文版呀？我未睇過中文版，唔知翻譯得好唔好。
of course中文版啦! !

Oh gosh, I just watched the movie with Brian... it's really good, but like you said, it's a mixed feeling. The 3-D part bother Brian a bit, but it was cool with some of the effects. I always think Books are better than movies, but Harry Potter series has been quite as good. Now I only wish I have my last book here, as I've not read it for a while, I can't remember some of the facts. Hey, do they have a Harry Potter ride? Was that the one in Gringotts? Love that scene... now I hope I can have all my books here and read them all... and watched all the movies one more time!!!
回覆刪除We didn't have a choice, the one in Middlebury only has 3D... hm, that's interesting, but I hope they'll add the Gringotts ride in future! The one in movie was too cool! I would like to play roller coaster like that!
