Harry Potter

Well doesn't he look ravishing?! I realise that Harry potter's Daniel Radcliff looks much better with longer hair, well that is when he is taking on the Harry potter role. I wish I read Harry potter when I was younger, when they first came out. Back then I didn't like to read...but I was happy to see the movie, which for about a year I slightly enjoyed. It became very well known with my friends and in my school school, (where they would even have a whole day based around Harry potter games, watching the movies, dressing up like the characters, and talking about magic) where it never struck me that I would even want to read the book...I already knew what it was all about anyway. I just wish I liked to read when I was a kid because I'm sure I would have been a big fan of the books...and it could have been something that would stick with me, not like the movies. I tried to pick up the first book a couple of months ago but I thought of how many times this book has been read, (even by ten year olds) and how much I know the movies, so I found reading it to be a little boring...I put down the book after a short period of time. Did you know Daniel Radcliff is in the Broadway show called Equus? It's a story of a psychiatrist who attempts to treat a young man who has a pathological religious/sexual fascination with horses. And guess who the man is to have that fascination with horses? Radcliff of course! For girls (maybe guys?!) who are interested in knowing, his whole body is exposed more than once through out the play. ( What's a little disappointing though is that a ticket for a weekend showing is over three hundred dollars. I would be willing to see this play with Radcliff in it or not, it seems really interesting, so Radcliff in a way ruins my chances. The price of the ticket ( I understand if they were a normal ticket price that every show would be sold out for many months) shows how most of the people going to the show are simply a Radcliff fan...Anyway, along with books I didn't get to read when I was child, A Series of Unfortunate Events would also be one of them. Except with this, I did not see the movie, nor did I hear what the story was even about, just that it's fun to read. So I read the first four of the series at the end of the summer and they are not necessarily children books, though most children would probably read it. It was pretty good, but I could go on and on about how repetitious everything was...which is one of the reasons it's known as a children's book...and the reason I stopped reading. How many freaken times can Count Olaf get away with dressing up as a different person to lure the children in to to handing over their family fortune, about 13!
