HARRY.. WHO??



I saw my cousin sis read some flicked manuscript of the deathly hallows with such vehemence that I started wondering if there was any Hogwart graduate on the screen trying to mesmerize and pull her inside. She remained blissfully ignorant of whatever was happening around her till she finished reading the entire thing. There were moments when I was getting bored and wished I was Harry da puttar who could do some magic and pull her back!
I came back home a couple of weeks back and I happened to go and watch the order of phoenix last Monday. To the amazement of most of you folks… it was the first time I was seeing Daniel Radcliffe anywhere else other than paper. I have always wondered what was so great in the entire series of Rowling’s production that generated so much interest. And throughout the movie, I was still wondering, because the movie came very close to beating jhoom barabar jhoom at making me doze off.
My friend had given me a synopsis of the previous 4 editions that morning so that I would accept his invitation and give him company for the movie. I couldn’t believe the glare and excitement on the 23 yr old guy’s face when he said, “ U know what, avada kedavra ( or smthin of that sorts) when cast on a person, can kill!!”. And ,oh yes!! I saw him jump off his seats when the spell was cast on Sirius Black by the ‘Dark Lord’.... (apparently the bad guy should never be named??!!). I just waited for the interval to get my hands on a pack of Lays and then waited again till I could get back home… safe.
Past two days there has been a fervor, unimaginable, for the release of the deathly hallows. I just fail to understand the craze. But, neways everyone is always allowed his/her own share of stupidity and…. Skewed thinking.
I have been staring at the broom ever since….. Wishing that the train from Manchester to London, 17 years back, hadn’t been delayed by 4 God damn hours. And why on earth didn’t Rowling make it “The Boy Who NEVER Lived….”…………….. with due regards to all u Pottermaniacs.
