First off, hello, thank you for being the first official comment on this particular blog. Seriously, thank you, I was starting to think I was on my own here. Secondly, great question.


I've decide to answer your question as a post, and not simply as another comment for one main reason, it was also a question that I myself asked. Just to make it easy for any other possible readers here was the question...

Why did you choose the premiere of (what I assume to be) the first movie? Wouldn't the second film make more sense as it will be the conclusion of the Harry Potter Saga as our generation knows it.[sic]

As previously mentioned, this was something that I myself wondered. Before starting this blog I knew I needed a point of reference, something of symbolic value with a set date to try and figure adulthood out by. I decided on using the U.S. premier of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 as this symbolic standard. 

Part 1 was chosen for three reasons: First, I liked that it premiered not long after my birthday, thus condensing my quest to find out what it means to be an adult. Second, I figured that if I wasn't satisfied with my findings by the time Part 1 premiered, I could then use Part 2 as a back up, giving myself a few more months to navigate my way into adulthood. Third, I decided that Part 1 is really the beginning of the end, and true it isn't the absolute conclusion of the saga thus far, BUT it is the turning point of the series. I don't want to leave any spoilers but the events and turmoil that I am assuming will take place in Part 1 represent (in my "weird brain") the turmoil and changes that I am currently experiencing in my quest for adulthood.

I hope this answers your question, and I apologize, I am half asleep and fairly certain that most of this is incomprehensible, so if that is the case, leave another comment and I will fix it! (-;


Also, I am not sure why there are so many numbers (first, second etc) I guess I'm just in a counting mood, and also also, sorry if the font/spacing shows up all weird, I'm also not sure why that is happening, also also also wondering if anyone will catch my not so sneaky reference.
