bookends of the wizard variety

.
last friday ben and I went to go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two.
(along with what felt like every child aged 10 through 12 in central connecticut. the movie didn't start till 10:40 in the evening. what were those parents thinking. this was the adults's time at the childrens movie. sheesh.)

ben and I have now seen every harry potter movie in the theaters.
every single one.

we went to go see the first one as our first date way back in 2001.
(I didn't know it was a date until we had already been together for about half a year, but that's another story for another time.)

the first movie as our first date (we officially started dating a month afterwards) and the last movie a month after we got married.
harry potter had been with us the entirety of our dating lives. all 10 years of it.

that is both kinda strange and wicked awesome.

so see ya later harry, ron and hermione.
it's been fun.
