Potty grows up

(This post was inspired by Mandi Kaye (Imago Dei’s) titled “Who Knew?”. Indeed, who knew!!)

 

Sidenote: This post is dedicated to a certain 4 1/2 kid, who drove me crazy last few weeks with her Pottermania. She made me want to jump off my little flat. I’m glad I didn’t. If I did, who’s gonna entertain y’all, eh? And if I did…she is to blame!

 

Everyone have been talking about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It’s becoming claustrophobic, especially for someone who does not understand the concept of obsession. I like Harry Potter. That is the keyword there. Like.

 

I still don’t understand the hype. I stopped watching the movie after the third one, and I read book 6 almost flippantly. I like the movie enough to not turn away when it is on and I like the book enough to not let it go unread. But then again, it’s the same policy I apply to any good movies or books. I’d watch anything. I’d read anything. Doesn’t say much, huh?

 

I’d still be buying the books because I’m collecting them for my future kids. Besides, the premise of the story is cool. But I’ll let the loyal fans have it first and I’m happy to take any leftovers. I’ll be buying the movies after the number 7 is released for the same reason as the books.

 

Daniel Radcliffe turned 18 two days ago. With this coming of age, he will have access to his $40million fortune. My God! $40million at 18!!! Know what made me went “awwww!” ?

 

“I don’t plan to be one of those people who, as soon as they turn 18, suddenly buy themselves a massive sports car collection or something similar. I don’t think I’ll be particularly extravagant. “The things I like buying are things that cost about 10 pounds — books and CDs and DVDs.”

And this kid has got his head screwed on straight!

 

“People are always looking to say ‘kid star goes off the rails. But I try very hard not to go that way because it would be too easy for them.”

Good for you, kid! Lets hope you remember your sage words here and let’s not have you in any rehab or shotgun wedding, alrighty?

I remembered him in David Copperfield. It was aired in Hallmark Channel. I thought the little boy was so cute and so talented. Years later I see him as Harry Potter. Never would I imagine he’d play one of the most celebrated role in cinematic history.

 

This was Potty as David Copperfield. Cute kid, no?

 

This was Potty as…well, as young Potty. Angst-ridden and so magical. Still very cute.

  

 

This is Potty without his wizard robe. Oh my goodness. Not cute anymore. No, sirree! More like…*drool* Potty has great abs! Uwaaaaah!

 

This is the Potty that made me dump Johnny Depp. All grown up, with a man-’tache and smoldering looks in his eyes. Oh, be still my fluttering heart!
