So, we now move on to Harry Potter.

I just finished watching the third movie, and now I have a renewed understanding and agreement with Thomas over his anger at having someone read the fourth book after only seeing the movies and not reading the first three books.

Now don’t get me wrong, the movie was good, but the book is 29348 times better, at least. I mean, there were so many good parts of the book that weren’t in the movie (*COUGH, CHO*).

Anyway, it’s getting later and later by the second (go figure) and so I really must wrap this up. So, I shall give you a thought. That’s deep.

THE THOUGHT: I bet a fun thing would be to go way back in time to where there was going to be an eclipse and tell the cave men, “If I have come to destroy you, may the sun be blotted out from the sky!!” Just then the eclipse would start, and they’d probably try to kill you or something, but then you could explain about the rotation of the moon and all, and everyone would get a good laugh.
