harry potter. all day.

fall semester i read the harry potter series.

(a little late i know)

i was just stubborn growing up, and although i loved reading, i refused to read harry potter because everyone was doing it…. (probably because its the best thing in the entire world!) 

i can not believe that i missed out on such beauty my whole childhood.

 it took me being a stressed out college student to step into the world of magic and fall in love.

 so its safe to say, walking to and from school reading harry potter and sometimes substituting it in place of homework is what got me through the first half of my junior year. 

its also safe to say, now i am slightly obbsessed. 

thank goodness i have friends who are equally obbsessed. 

samantha and i have been planning a harry potter marathon for some time now. 

we talked and talked about how we would watch all 8 movies in one day, how it would be the best thing ever, and how we would make crepes for every meal, and how it would be the best thing ever. 

the thing is we are pretty good at talking and laughing about our crazy plans, but when it comes to actually carrying them out... thats when we fail a little bit. 

not this time! 

monday april 29th at 11:20ish am the movie marathon of all time began.

19hours and  45 minutes (said the internet) 

we can do it! said the hp participants. 

it was a long day full of laughter, constant harry potter, crepes of all sorts and nerdyness. 

first batch of crepes. by the end of this shin dig samantha was a master crepe chef! notice dumbledore in the background.

just a signed picture of daniel radcliffe. and voldemort's box as a lad.

my wand. courteous of the lloyd fam and their harry potter land excursion! thanks guys!

fig, brie, and arugula. delicious.

we decided to take a picture after each movie. amanda is holding the sorcerer's stone.

second movie down. 

movie three. still going strong.

zach had lots of studying to do so he couldn't make it to all 20 hours, but he joined us for the goblet of fire!

putting our names in. this is real life. 

 
movie five. getting a bit sleepy.

watching movie six on a baby screen. lost the dvd. staying awake.

                        7:00 am tuesady morning. we made it…. sorta. we were in and out of sleep during movies seven and eight. but. hey it was a good fight! final three. samantha hiding in the back. 

super sorry about the picture overload. but this was way to good not to document fully! what a perfect start to the summer! 

harry potter fans for life.
