Apparently a new Harry Potter movie came out today.

I will say right now that I don’t understand the drawing power of the movies or the books.  I will also say that I have not read any of the books but have seen some of the movies.  I might have seen all of the movies.  I don’t know.  The characters and plot seem muddled and convoluted enough that I don’t think I needed to see them.

I'm a wizard!

I'm a wizard!

I think the plot of the first movie was something like… Harry is a wizard.  He goes to school with his friends Ron and Myhienie.  They get in trouble.  Harry’s parents are dead.  There are old wizards.  There’s some guy who is scary and his name is Voltron or something and he wants to kill Harry.  I believe the plot of the second movie is the same.  And the third.  And the fourth.  Has anything happened in the series since the first movie other than Harry becoming gawkingly awkward to look at, Ron growing from an ugly boy to an ugly tween, and Myhienie’s monobrow coming in?
