I've always known I liked the little elf. Well, tonight, my memory's been refreshed on why he's my favorite Harry Potter character.

Tonight was the premier of Harry Potter in the French land, so naturally, being literally surrounded by Harry Potter fanatics most of the time, I myself was getting really excited to see the latest installment, even though I haven't read the books (gasp!) Anyway, I absolutely loved seeing the movie tonight, from the 'rigolo' translations in the French subtitles below the screen, to the appearances of my other favorite character, Snape, and to knowing that my bestest friend was in the land of Harry Potter at the very same moment that I was seeing it all take place.

Despite the fact that I saw the movie in English, surrounding by equally-eager 20-something American fans, somehow seeing a movie in 'Renoir' here in France always seems more sophisticated than any movies I've seen back home. I guess that's the French effect, right? Depending, I might get really brave and go see the movie in French, get the real French effect. How could they possibly translate the uniqueness of Dobby's voice though?! We shall see.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope you all have the best celebration. Count your blessings and smile for all the lovely people by which you're surrounded, that's what I'll be doing. : )

XOXO, c

PS--how cute was it when he said "Dobby is a free elf ... Dobby came to save Harry Potter and his friends" !!
