• It’s PG-13 rating. We no longer have to feel like that creepy old guy at a kid’s movie.

• Sexual tension. Pretty much everywhere. And Harry finally puts the moves on that chick he’s been eyeing for 2 movies.

• Homoerotic tension. Harry is awfully happy to see Sirius whenever he appears…and the guy does have great hair and a perfectly manicured mustache…

• Ron Weasley. The older he gets, the more he seems to represent the great state of Maine, lumberjack clothing and all. LOVE it!

• 420 Hook-up. Luna Lovegood is on something during this movie, and whatever it is, I want some.

• Childish Happiness. One scene involving indoor fireworks will make you so happy and proud you might just cry. …especially if you’re me.

• Magic. You know you want one of those wands.

• The Red Scare. Who knew J.K Rowling would be able to comment on the ridiculous Communist panic during the 50’s while writing about wizards? Who knew she’d manage to take on Bush’s failing No Child Left Behind act? My post-collegiate mind was intrigued.

• Harry’s Hotness. He’s so close to attractive, one more movie is all we need before Daniel Radcliffe starts invading your fantasies.

• Hogwarts. I want to go there. Plus, there doesn’t seem to be a tuition fee. Wizard logic is fantastic!
