Harry Potter is on the telly. The first one. I never watched it. Never read any of the books either. For once I’m outside the madness, looking in.<\/p>\n
I’m half-watching it now. What I have noticed is that the CGI effects seem rather dodgy. It doesn’t look like the big budget amazatronics I was expecting. I guess the movie is getting a bit on in years, maybe it’s just the age showing. Or maybe I’m being overly critical. I don’t really like Harry, you see. He’s what? 11? And everybody loves him. Oooh he’s so special bla bla. I don’t like kids like that. If I went to school with Harry then I’d be his dorky friend. Or no, I guess I wouldn’t. Because the dorky friend would still serve a purpose and be useful in the end and have some fans after all. I’d be the quiet geek in the corner who was trying not to get noticed while everyone else was fighting trolls and impressing teachers with their magic skills. I wouldn’t make it into the books except in “Harry ran through a class room full of boys”. That would be me, somewhere in there.<\/p>\n
And you know, it’s not fair. I may not be a child prodigy. I might not be gifted. I might not have a great talent for magic. I might not be in any prophecies, I might not be the chosen one who will bring balance to the force. I might not be the one that all the girls write fanfic about. I might not win the quidditch match even though I have never played it before. I might not be ever-so-special. But that doesn’t mean I don’t deserve love. Just because I’m not the main character in the story, or life, doesn’t mean you can just ignore me. I’M HERE. I might be below average and I might be out of the story by book 2, but I will not be forgotten.<\/p>\n
