Our Hogwarts mate Sylvia brought this USA Today article to our attention yesterday. Just as a refresher, the article talks about how a lot of adults are pushing the box office of Goblet of Fire into the stratosphere. Here's a piece of the story:
LOS ANGELES — Before Saturday, Adam Kirkpatrick had never seen a Harry Potter film, read a Harry Potter book, or held much desire to do either.
But the 44-year-old Santa Monica landscaper decided to check out Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire after growing tired of hearing his friends blather on about spells and Hogwarts and the evil Voldemort.
Now Kirkpatrick plans to hit the video store to catch the first three Potter installments.
"This wasn't the movie I expected," Kirkpatrick says. "I figured it was just a kids' series. But there's a lot of adult stuff here. I get what people are talking about."
So are a lot of older moviegoers, who are propelling Goblet to the Potter franchise's fastest start. (Related chart: See the weekend's top 10 films)
