Fantasy lunch

I sit at the dock most days for my lunch, it doesn't matter if it is windy, it doesn't matter if it is dull, just as long as it is not raining then I sit there and eat my lunch with my head stuck in my book!   All sorts of people join me for my lunch and there are always diverse and eclectic groups dotted here and there.

Usually, I don't take too much notice of the conversations that people are having while they join me at the dockside as I am always engrossed in whatever mystery or fantasy that is taking place in my book.  And of course I'm too busy eating!

But today I heard grown adults talking about how they want to go to see the latest Harry Potter movie in 3D.

I confess, I did eavesdrop!  Only because I was fascinated as to why these adults were arranging among themselves a night out at a Harry Potter Movie.  Was I having my lunch with a strange cult??  I did check their foreheads - with a discrete sideways glance - for funny squiggly markings, but there were none to be seen...

I never got the whole 'Harry Potter' thing, no matter how hard I tried, and I did try, but I only ever made it to the end of the first book.  Maybe I just don't have the imagination that I should have to understand these books.  I did go on the 'Deathly Hallows' Luas once, and was a bit disappointed that I wasn't catapulted into some amazing adventure involving a flying train and astonishing evil wizardry, which ends in  me being captured by the evil Lord Voldemort.  This in turn would have led to an impossible task for Harry (played for some reason in my fantasy by George Clooney)  in rescuing me, first having to figure out how to get past the crazy bunch of screaming women who keep wanting to hug him (Harry hasn't actually realised that he is George Clooney!)!  So he uses his magic wand and makes them all disappear, but his spell goes a bit wrong, and he actually makes every other woman on the planet disappear too, apart from me of course (well it is my fantasy!).  And then an exciting battle with Lord 'V' ensues involving lots of evil laughing and scary looks, and Harry trying to rescue me before an evil, purple spotted, seven legged flying creature cuts the very thin string, with his horribly grotesque claw, that is holding me over a deep ravine full of ghostly headless horsemen with .......Then the Luas arrived at Stephens Green, and reality, and I had to get off....!

Anyway my fellow lunchers continued their discussion blissfully unaware that I was listening to their inch by inch analysis of the first part of the story and how they thought the second part would look in 3D.  So, they made their arrangements to meet and go to the movie, and finished their lunch. 

Then they all got up, put on their black pointy hats, and flew away on their broomsticks......
