I am a pretty tough girl. My resolve is strong and I have been pleasantly surprised by my ability to adapt to circumstances. You see I’ve had lots of weird challenges over the past decade and each has shaped me into a very resilient woman. But I must confess that there is something that scares the devil out of me. It came to me in a dream last night. And I don’t think I can handle it if it comes to pass.
I fear that the next Harry Potter movie will actually be in collaboration with High School Musical. And anything is possible after seeing that last Potter movie! The Half-Blood Prince had my 11-year-old in tears because it didn’t follow the book. And she would know because we waited, and waited, and waited for her to finish all 652 pages. I’ve surveyed other parents and they confirm their kids had similar criticism of the film.
What if? Malfoy and Sharpay team up for dastardly plots to bust up Dumbledore’s Army. The Wildcats are added as another Hogwarts House. “Get’cha Head in the Game” becomes the Quidditch team anthem. Ms. Darbus gets sweet on Hagrid. Dumbledore’s ghost shows up for a grand finale of “We’re all in this Together”. I can’t take it.
Some of you have never seen either series and are blissfully unaware of the story lines. But for those of you that get what I’m saying – be forewarned that the next episodes for each franchise are due in 2010. Be afraid…be very afraid.
My mama always told me that a dream would come true if you shared it before breakfast. Rest assured that I scrambled a few eggs and managed to get them down before posting, even though the dream left me feeling a little queasy.
