Not a Harry Potter fan, but I could watch the last film.

It's been coming for a while. Potter minions from near and far are gathering. The time has come. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2.

Can you feel the excitement!? I can't. I must be one of those muggles. For me it's just another run of films I can't wait to fade into obscurity. Like when MTV played TLC's "Waterfalls" video at least twice every hour back in the 90's.

However, I will say that seeing the previews forced upon me at the start of each of the summer blockbusters I've watched has had a strange side effect. I think I want to see it.

I saw "The Prisoner of Azkahban" because a friend in the office invited me with her friends. I saw Order of The Phoenix for some reason I wasn't sure why.

But "The Deathly Hallows part 2"? Hmmm. A whole bunch of explosions, fighting, running for your life, dark halls of a wizard school, a bunch of wizards and witches firing off wand puls projectiles like a scene out of '300.'... This film looks kinda good.

On MSNBC, they show a video for folks like me. 7 Harry Potter films in 6 minutes. I got the gist of the back story on how everyone came to be where they are now which also helped me understand what I was watching in the two films I did see. So for those of you who are along for the ride at midnight for the premiere of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 or will see it another time or are only doing it because someone invited you, please watch this video.

May the force be with you... Or whatever they say to each other.
