The other day Lawry asked me, "If someone had told high school-you that you would marry someone who hadn't read the Harry Potter books, would you have believed them?" Definitely not. Zero belief, they would just be wrong. I still think these hypothetical people are wrong. Lawry was a little bit surprised that I still haven't completely accepted the lack of HP in his life (let's be honest, I still think this is hypothetical, I haven't come to terms yet :)
Lawry has a list of "marriagetivities" that's basically a bunch of things we want to do together in my first year out of grad school and before Lawry's first year in lawyering school. Right now, one of those is "read Harry Potter." I'd like to change that to "RE-read Harry Potter." I'm still in denial that Lawry hasn't already become best friends with Ron Weasley. BUT, I will say that I am super glad that he has not read the books OR seen the movies. He is a Harry Potter newbie, and I'm very excited to watch him fall in lurve with Harry and Co.
Figuring out how to meet JK Rowling or Emma Watson,
MJ

i think your husband having not read harry potter is probably the next best thing to being able to obliviate yourself so you can experience it all again. also, speaking of your high-school-self and thoughts on marriage, do you remember when we made lists of things we wanted in a husband with teencbs? i think i still have mine. i remember one of your top requirements, and lawry's got it.
Really? Do tell! :)
i agree, i kind of want him to wait til after we're married to read them, well maybe just books 4-7. i do remember this list, but i don't know where it is, and is it loyalty? redheadness?
democrat. now, i believe lawry is an independent, but really, that is what we didn't know we wanted anyway.
i'm a frustrated democrat. i didn't vote in the midterm elections. some people think that means i'm not allowed to complain. i think that just means i now have the right to complain about EVERY candidate...which i was already doing.
i like that malsi had this requirement :)
