“Tell me one last thing,” said Harry. “Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?”
“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”
I felt like I was on the Hogwarts Express going to the movie theater this weekend. The usual muggles and magical people were on board. Garbed in my Gryffindor Quidditch jersey and my wand (aka I-phone), I even got a couple of compliments from fellow metrophiles/Potterites.
Although the 7th book had prepared me for the end, there’s nothing like movie magic to seal the deal. The patent HP circle-shaped 3-D glasses completed my transformation as the proverbial lights were dimmed. For 2 hours and 10 minutes I got to relive almost a decade of wonderful adventures and poignant memories, all courtesy of Ms. Rowling and Warner Bros.
It was so apropos that it all started and ended at London’s King Cross Station, Platform 9 ¾, with Harry and the gang culminating with their biggest adventure yet – sending their children off to school to learn about life. Who’s to say that the magic has to end? It’s everywhere around us, even on the Metro.
