Dashin Hungarian Horn-Tailed Dragon

Today, i finalli caught dat Potter movie i've been wantin to catch the past 2 weeks, n indeed, all this year..its like a yearly pilgrimmage for mi now...a pet peeve dat brings back good memories..how so? let mi explain..

i started seein e 1st installment of Harry Potter when i was 2001 when i was 18...i can still remember e feelin..i was all young n innocent..ready to take on e world n so sure of myself..not as sure as i was at 16 possibly, but surer than i am now of myself n my abilities..i felt e world was my oyster after finalli leavin e official s'pore education system..anyways, as things go, i wanted to compare Harry Potter to the Lord of the Rings cos both dealt with fantasy n magic, n both had old wizards n young, inexperienced main characters..

then i watched my 2nd installment of Potter..i remember feelin like a loser after failin my a-levels once n bein so many years behind my peers (esp e gals)..this was before my 2nd attempt results came out next march..my 3rd movie was when i had lost my freedom in e army n had learnt a lot of hard lessons in e army dat year, esp bout human nature n success..now for e 4th installment, i feel driven..driven to catch up with my peers n driven to prove somethin..dat i am neither a loser nor a failure..whether in life, faith or relationships..but also humbled to noe dat the Almighty has seen mi thru so much n taught mi so much i would not hav otherwise learnt..humbled oso to noe dat Man Proposes but God Disposes..

i once read this book on Star Wars Trivia..in e forward, e author said dat he first watched star wars iv when he was 16 n had just run away from home, directionless...he was in e queue for tickets to star wars v when he learnt dat his best fren had been murdered in cold blood by armed robbers n when he watched Star Wars vi he'd just had his 1st child born n was watchin it as the first show with his family..dats why he was so into Star Wars..it held so much memory n meanin for him...

well, it lives up to expectation with truly much darker issues bein addressed like death n betrayal as well as loyalty...incidentally, some of e stuff does truli has spiritual significance like e portal to e quidditch world-cup tournament n to Lord Voldemort's hideout...occultists do hav "spirit gates" to spiritual realms n these r often in very terrifyin or eerie places...only does who hav been in BMTC sch 2 n noe of e "third door" in Ulysees coy will relate to dis..

but not everythin la of course...i wonder why dun they hav a department of military magiks in Hogwarts..then they could make good use of dat nasty Hungarian Horn-Tailed Dragon instead of slayin it senselessly..Horned-Tail anyone?
