Harry Potter Redux
Apr. 5th, 2013 08:07 amI've been introducing P to the Harry Potter movies, as of last night we've finished Goblet of Fire. She is enjoying them a lot, occasionally I point out stuff because we've lived together long enough that I know I need to - she has a knack for looking away at the wrong moment - and she's enjoying watching this crowd of kids grow up on film.
P is the same woman who has gone her whole life without seeing the Star Wars films - without being SPOILED for them, which takes special skill, I guess. So we watched those - the original trilogy on VHS without all that damned 're-mastering', I don't know what I'll do when the tapes finally expire - and Episodes II, III, and then I - also known as Machete Order, http://static.nomachetejuggling.com/machete_order.html, and I am here to report that doing it in that order made perfect sense to her, especially treating Episode I as a stand-alone "kids movie" as Machete Order suggests. I enjoyed them very much in this order, too, btw.
