Because love means never having to say, "You're too old for this."

The Harry Potter movie franchise might be ending this week, but I can assure you that the story will endure in the hearts of its fans. Chances are, you'll date at least one them, and upon learning of your obliviousness to the story, she'll propagate all things Rowling while Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is still in theaters. It will be like Titanic all over again. She'll watch it at least five times with her fellow fanatics, and eventually, you'll run out of reasons to not join them on one these excursions. Until then, you've got several weeks to prepare by reading the books, marathoning the movies, and memorizing the entire timeline of Hogwarts, A History. 8 Harry Potter Tools We Want For Our Relationships

As hard as it is to believe right now, all of that reading and watching will feel worth it when you watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 on the big screen. This film picks up right where its predecessor left off: following their escape from Malfoy Manor, Harry and his friends raid Gringotts Bank in hope of finding the fourth Horcrux inside the Lestranges' vault. At Hogwarts, the remaining members of Dumbledore's Army convene behind Headmaster Snape's back, while Voldemort orchestrates a takedown of the school's defenses. Want a Partner for Life?

After my disappointment in the Prisoner of Azkaban and Half-Blood Prince adaptations, I was pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of every memorable scene from the Deathly Hallows book. The Battle at Hogwarts is a tour de force in special effects. The trio of actors are in top form. Alan Rickman's performance as Severus Snape will break your heart. Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is so poignant, suspenseful, and stunning that you will emerge from the theater feeling shell-shocked by the film's unrelenting intensity. You and your date will travel home in silence, only to commence shaking and crying once the awesomeness of those two hours sets in. 4 Reasons To Give The Geeky Guy A Shot

But as much as I loved the film, I have to admit that it's only suitable as a date movie when both of you can appreciate the series. You don't have to like it, you just need to remember why the Golden Trio skipped their seventh year at Hogwarts to hunt down Horcruxes in the backwoods of Scotland. You need to know why your date can't hear the phrase "look at me" without bursting into tears, and you need to understand why she turns red in the face when people say that Twilight will supplant Harry Potter in popularity.
