It was not until Chamber of Secrets when I finally had to acknowledge Harry Potter as my ‘kind of thing.’ We went to see the 2nd movie on a local cinema with my family. Then there’s Dobby and Moaning Myrtle. I shrieked in delight when Mom handed me the DVD of the movie five months after. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the first DVD I saw, heard and watched. I would bring the copy to school to boast it around and watch it with my class mate’s houses every weekend. Very few know what a DVD is that time. The copy is now a little mutilated, but still on watching capabilities. I keep it safe now; I bought another one and it’s what we use now for marathons.
This was the year when my Mom bought me a wand, eyeglass and a robe. When I saw that stuff on a department store, my initial response was my mother will never buy this because it’s quite expensive. I went to ask her to see it then she picked it up and bought it. My Mom appreciate Harry Potter that time; so whatever I ask that is Harry Potter related, I had it all in a bag. Not so much now though, people’s priorities tend to change.Then there’s the basilisk, and I never got scared from that giant snake because I knew they don’t exist. But I remember Tita Marie’s take on the serpent. She said that the Basilisk was somewhat very real long time ago. According to J.K Rowling, a basilisk is born when a chicken’s egg will hatch under a frog on a full moon. I could be wrong but that’s how I remember it.
That time I knew I had to know everything about this affair. Attempted to read the books then failed again. Turns out playing was still on top of my priorities back then. But I understood the connection, I just need to live through it.
