HWK, The Teenager and I went to see Part One of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows this afternoon. It was wonderful! I have to admit, though, it was a bit bittersweet. The Teenager has grown up with HP. It was weird to see the actors we saw in HP I so grown up...especially since when I turned my head and looked at The Teenager I realized he is fast become a young man.
Now I know he's almost 6 foot, and has feet the size of small submarines. It still was weird to think about how little he was when we were in line for the earlier movies.
Just like I wish the characters (and actors) could somehow be suspended in time, I sometimes wish we could take snapshots of The Teenager, and capture some of the fantastic moments we have experienced together. I love watching The Teenager become a young adult, and look forward to seeing what an amazing adult he will be. ..but I will always miss the little boy that watching the movie today reminded me of.
