Up brought me to tears within that first 8 minutes.

We all have different tastes. I love white doors and trim too. It brightens up a room. I don't like completely white walls though. I prefer color on walls. We had a house once where all the trim was an orangey brown. I hated it. It looked so old and dingy. It took a lot of work to get those white because of the varnish on them.

Yeah, I have light cream colored wallpaper in all our main rooms with one accent wall in each room in the same light taupe as the doors. The Hallway is Off white with a deep blood red on the lower third of it, with the same red for the carpeting on the stairs, and we have a light oak wood flooring throughout, though I'd prefer cherry. We do have cherry in the kitchen and I love it...our dishwasher leaked and we had to replace the oak color in there, but the company didn't have a wood that matched our oak color, so I went with the cherry. DH prefers oak, I prefer cherry. For the most part, everything is very neutral with pops of color here and there, but no white or yellow as those are my pet peeves in decorating.

I think the first movie sticks the closest to the first book.

I’ll have to rewatch the movie.. I thought it started out with Harry Potter already living with his Aunt and Uncle. I could be remembering wrong.. we watched it at home and I was in and out of the room.

Don't hate me, but I can't stand stark white in any of my decorating. It looks too cold and sterile for me. I have a light taupe color for my doors. It's neutral without giving it that hospital vibe. I'm pretty picky. I don't like yellow walls, white furniture, or wicker.

My comment was more ‘pouting about door replacement’ than anything else.lol. Everyone likes different things!

Which Nora Roberts are you reading? I love her!! My favorites are the Three Sisters Island trilogy and In the Garden trilogy. I love the MacGreggors saga, too. If you like Nora, you might give Sandra Brown a try as well.

My mom loves Nora Roberts. I haven't tried any of her books yet. I'm listening to an audiobook at work that I might return if it doesn't pick up soon. I have three books checked out of the library, plus I have my Kindle Unlimited subscription, which I picked back up because it was 99 cents for three months. I don't think I'll run out of material any time soon.

My pet peeve other than Peeves is wall paper. Every place I moved into has some old wall paper that needed to be steamed off.

This is the only WDW guide that I own, but, it is kept out of the light and environment and only occasionally used as a reverence.

Mom has my copy of that one safely tucked away

Yes, you are right about the beginning, but for the most part it follows the book.

Nope, it starts with Albus leaving Harry with them. The first 2 follow the books pretty closely, and the Dumbledore is great. But then the actor who played him died and they got a new on who is not as good. He doesn't have the same playful mischievousness that Dumbledore in the books has, and that Richard Harris portrays so well. And from Prisoner of Azkaban on, they take liberties with the plot that the first two don't. The Half-Blood Prince movie really angered me. They rush through, not explaining things sufficiently if you haven't read the books, they cut out a very poignant scene, and they made up a scene that's not in the book and has no real point to it. It was a complete waste of time that they could have used to put in something that's ACTUALLY in the book. But the first 2 are very good about following the books.

I tried getting that Kindle deal and every time I went to check out I got an error. I got so frustrated that I just let it go.

Why don't you just ask me to choose between my children? I love ALL the Harry Potter books. I laugh, I cry...they are my go-to books when I need to escape. Harry Potter, Twilight (don't judge), Nora Roberts, Outlander series, and Jane Austen.

I loved them all but my go to is POA if I'm tired or frustrated.

Yes, cannot stand wallpaper.

Ours had 3 layers of wallpaper to remove when we bought this house. But we DID put in wallpaper because the walls weren't in the best shape and there was no way to really make it look nice by painting it. So we did wallpaper.

In random order: cake, pie and leftover cold pizza are all proper breakfast foods!!

P.S.: I like the plate, too!

Yes all of those are good breakfast foods. But in the end pie for breakfast didn't work out. Brad got up before me and needed to go to the grocery store for some church stuff and brought home fresh bagels. So....pie for lunch!

I found myself needing to explain a lot of what was going on to dh in the last bunch of films since he hadn't read the books. I too like the original Dumbledore.

I think we need a go fund me for it to be put on Broadway. Then we can do a big group meet up at the Disney store there before seeing the play

Yes!!
