ASAD Sketch #58 - Goodbye Potter movie franchise

Sketch 58 Day 58 - It's been about 10 years since I read the first Harry Potter book. I remember how swept away I was by the story. I was indeed spellbound. JK Rowling you genius, I thought. Then came the film adaptation. As much as I was attached to the book, I still looked forward to seeing it . Hmm sure let's see 'somebody else's' interpretation of the book. Naturally, I found myself making mental debates throughout the film. This went down like..That wasn't how I imagined Hermione, Ron or Harry to look...whaaa? they totally reworked one of the best parts of the book!...the acting seemed to lack spirit to how I imagined it in the book...etc. I walked out the cinema a little disappointed, I had high expectations. I preferred my imagination. Come 10 years later, I actually didn't stop myself from watching the other films that followed. It grew on me, I grew a love for them. I even own the dvd's for goodness sake. I am indeed spellbound for all things Potter.

Ok about my sketch -  just a heads up to those who haven't read or seen the last instalment of Mr. Harry Potter. I actually haven't seen the new film yet either only read the book ;) For those who don't want to know a tiny spoiler, I'd probably stop reading from here. But it's no biggie. Just my interpretation of Harry Potter's daughter, Lily Potter.
