With the seventh Harry Potter movie almost here, fans are getting pumped up. There are the the low-key fans who read the books and see the movies and then there are the hardcore fans who have become obsessed with the series.
One of these fans is junior Alicia McCauley.
“I’m a huge fan,” McCauley said. “But I’m not the crazy stalker kind.”
McCauley has been a fan for a while. She first found the books in a scholastic book order when she was in second grade. Liran Zieglman is another huge fan. She moved from Israel when she was seven, the summer before second grade.
Harry Potter was the first series that Zieglman really liked in english.
“It was a hard transition from hebrew, but these books really stuck with me.” Zieglman said.
The first part of the new movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is released on Nov. 19. The second part will be released July 15, 2011. Fans can’t wait until the movie is released.
“I’m so excited for it to come out,” McCauley said. “I’m hoping to convince my mom to let me see the midnight showing.”
Not all fans are as excited as McCauley to see the movie, though. Zieglman prefers the books over the movies. She says that the movies just don’t compare. She is also not excited that the second part will be in 3-D. The first part of the movie, though, is in 2-D.
“I’m excited to see the new movie,” Zieglman said. “I’m just not expecting it to be that good.”
Whether the fans like or dislike the movies. They will always strongly recommend the books.
“I definitely recommend them,” Zieglman said. “It’s a great series with good morals. Unlike Twilight which is all about being in a relationship. Harry Potter is about being courageous, making friends and helping people.”
