So... this morning at 3:00 I was channel surfing and I came across PBS. The movie that was playing had that BBC- movie based off of a classic- type look about it so I thought... OK... This looks good. As I'm watching it I find it's about WW1 and I come in on some sort of Army training facility. And there is a little short twerp trying to fire a rifle at a target, while keeping his glasses on in the rain. After a moment, I realize... the little twerp is little Daniel Radcliffe- Harry Potter. I sit up and I said to myself, "Self, you should look at the TV guide to find out if that is Harry Potter and if so, what the heck is it."
So I get up and look and it is in fact a BBC movie called, My Boy Jack.
A film about Rudyard Kipling and his wife trying to find out what has become of their son whom had gone missing after become an officer in the British Army at a tender age of 18 years and a day old.
So I sit and think, "I can't take him seriously unless he's holding a wand and crying about how unfair life is because Lord Voldemort is out to get him." Then I made a few cracks about what a tiny little shrimp he is (Or at least how short he looks) and other lame things like, "If he had Ron and Hermione he wouldn't have gone missing."
Anyways, they get into the battle sequences and people are exploding and falling dead left and right... I didn't notice until about twenty minutes later that I had a very concentrated, concerned and mock worthy look upon my face.
By the end of the movie, I didn't even connect him with Harry Potter.... I have to say he did a surprisingly good
job acting as though he was in a war... Not Saving Private Ryan worthy... but still... He's little Danny Radcliffe...
It seems like only yesterday when I was but a las of fourteen, one of the many girls that age who thought he was the bee's knee's... (Well... until I realized I was like a foot taller than him.... that was sad...)
But oh... they grow up so fast.... *sniffle*

Well... not literally... ...
