To the surprise of many and as shocking as this might seem, I have officially decided to give Harry Potter a chance. I read the first three books back when I was in high school but never jumped completely on the band wagon. I hadn’t seen any of the movies completely through until last week my mom called and gave me the idea to start a Harry Potter movie marathon. Since then I’ve finished the first two movies. Pretty good! I’ve also decided that I’m going to reread the first three books in Russian during my Christmas holiday break. So the point of this post? Dumbledore has two quotes in these movies that I think are worth considering…

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live”

“It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.”

Think about it…
