Honestly, I really, really liked it. I went in prepared to like it though, probably because I'd already read your post. Heh. I did have some "disappointments" but they were not enough to ruin the movie for me. I don't expect these movies to do justice to the books. That would be next to impossible without making them six hours or more long. I do really think this one was one of the better ones. Maybe even the best so far. Mostly because they really stayed true to the feeling and message of OTP and the acting was phonomenally better than ever.
Your kids (A and A) are a lot more mature than my kids(M and Z) in some ways. Emotionally anyway. Having met them and read about them in your journal for a long time now, I can say this with conviction. I used to read about the conversations you guys had and the books you were reading and think, "geez, I better get on the ball, we are so far behind" and then I realized how, well, out of the ordinary you are and Grant is and realized that your children are too. Don't get me wrong, my kids are bright, amazing people. I think all three of them have genius in them in different ways.
I hope you didn't think I was disapproving of your taking your kids to the movie. I'm sorry if it sounded that way. I think it is awesome you can share stuff like this with your kids!
