Here's Liz Atwood with this week's Tween Tuesday

I saw that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 reached the billion dollar mark over the weekend and is on its way to being the top-grossing film of the year.

I saw the film while on vacation in Florida, attending a late afternoon show on the Saturday after the movie came out. I found myself struck not so much by what was on the screen (although I enjoyed the movie) as by who was in the seats. Most in the audience were adults — many of them baby boomers — and they weren’t there with their kids.

I know the original fans of the books and movies have grown up, but I still think of the Harry Potter movies as children’s films. My tween, who has seen all the Harry Potter films, liked the last. But many of his friends have not seen the movies and don’t plan to see this one.

Is your tween a Harry Potter fan or is that just so yesterday?
