El Jefe's Harry Potter Movie Review


Ten minutes into HP and the Order of the Phoenix:
El Jefe--" I haven't got the foggiest idea what is going on here."
QG--"Muggles are ordinary people without magical powers."
El Jefe--"Got it."

Twenty minutes later:
~sound of snoring to QG's left~
*gentle elbow to the ribs*
"Whaa??"

Ten minutes later:
~repeated sound of snoring~
Heads turning around
*another gentle elbowing*
"Was I asleep?"

Big laser fight scene at the end of the movie between Professor Dumbledore and the Dark Lord.
El Jefe now awake and riveted to the screen.

Movie over.
Babs-- "Did you like the movie, Daddy?"
El Jefe-- " That was a great fight at the end between Bumblebee and whoever. Isn't the guy who played Bumblebee the same guy who was in Lord of the Rings?"

Score one for El Jefe.

P.S. He snagged two HP and the Deathly Hallows books right after the movie. One for each of Babs' friends. Good Daddy Jefe.

Same thing happens to Mr.C. when he's dragged to a pic he doesn't want to see...

At least the snoring is gentle.

Good one, El Jefe!

I've been to movies I didn't want to go to and about do the same thing.

He's a good dad to be there for his daughter and to get the book :)

On another note, look forward to Monday's book discussion! Yippee!

Good effort. As I sat in Borders last night awaiting the midnight chimes, surrounded by people dressed as wizards, the Hogwarts Express, owls, etc. (Note: I was wearing khakis and a t-shirt) I thought that perhaps (perhaps!) some people are getting carried away with this whole HP thing. Of course, I was there was the midnight sale of the book like all the lovely McGonnigal wannabees.

God bless El Jefe.

A colleague of my wife told of waiting in line at her bookstore, after midnight but the line still long. She had signed up for a reserve copy.

Someone drove up and held up a copy of the Death Hallows. "I just got it at Kroger!"

Several people gave up on the line and went to the grocery.
