Harry Potter Day

Some of you may remember that one way we managed to stay sane during our first two months on the Island back in 2007 when we were in the little apartment at the college with no car and no TV and no real connection to anything beyond the college was looking forward to what we called Harry Potter Day.  That was the day that both the seventh book came out and the fifth movie premiered here in Cayman.  Ever since "Harry Potter Day", the day we get to see the next Harry Potter movie has been a big deal for us.  Yesterday we got up the nerve to ask a trusted friend to babysit Arianna and headed over to Hollywood Theatres at Camana Bay to watch the first part of the Deathly Hallows movies.  As always we were on Arianna time so the plans to be out the door by 11:30 and have lunch before hand at A La Kebab ended up not happening.  Still we enjoyed the movie immensely though both of us kept looking at our phones throughout the movie to make sure we hadn't missed a call.  It was a small first step but it showed we could go out on a date night (or in this case afternoon) and everything would be OK.  The movie was really good but we couldn't help whispering to each other several times that "hey that's different from the book".
