Harry Potter From An Outsider's Perspective

Tonight, I went to see the new Harry Potter movie with some lovely friends of mine. I will be the first to admit that I am not a huge Harry Potter fan. I tried to read the first book, but got confused and gave up after 2 pages. I suppose the whole "wizarding world" deal just doesn't appeal to me as much as it does to others. That's fine; to each his/her own. But anyways, my friends are pretty into Harry Potter, and I figured I'd see the movie, because the last movie is supposed to explain everything, and I was a bit curious about what all the hype is about.

Maybe it's because I never got into the entire story, but I simply couldn't take this movie seriously. Yes, I'm sure that it's a good story and teaches valuable life lessons about friendship and sacrifice and whatnot. However, some people don't realize that this is fiction. Voldemort (yes, I said his name) is not going to kill you, and if he happens to be real and does kill you, it's probably because he's jealous of the fact that you have a nose. Literally every time he came on camera, that YouTube video "I'm a Snake" just popped into my head. Cue more inappropriate laughter on my part...oops.

All in all, I'd like to apologize to the other people in the theater. I do genuinely feel bad for laughing at the wrong moments. In fact, I don't think there was a single moment in the movie where laughter would have possibly been appropriate. I just find humor in the oddest places, and I suppose that I also laugh as a defense mechanism when I'm confused. It wasn't a bad movie, and I'm not bashing on the books either. It was actually a very well-done movie in my opinion. I just have trouble bringing myself to take something seriously when the main villain doesn't even have a nose.
I'm a snake.
