Words: 261
Two weeks after the defeat of Voldermort on May 2nd, 1998, Harry, Ron and Hermione were at Hermione's house to watch a film on her television set. It was to be Ron's first experience watching a muggle film.
"So, what movie are we watching?" asked Harry.
"Jurrassic Park. Second highest grossing film. Best break in CGI so far," said Hermione.
"What's CGI and what do you mean by highest grossing?" asked Ron.
"CGI is an advancement in movie-making technology. I mean, devices," Hermione tried to explain in the simplest possible terms. "No other film has quite reached this film in its advancement. A movie's grosss is how much cash the film made from its ticket sales."
Hermione put Jurrassic Park's DVD in her DVD player as the three friends sat together and geared up for the film with a large bowl of popcorn.
"Wow, they're moving. How do muggles capture that?" asked a slacked jawed Ron.
"It's complicated to explain Ron, but muggles have created devices that capture motion that way," said Harry.
"Cool"
"Are those real dinosaurs," asked Ron with awe when the dinosaurs first appeared.
"No, that's what they use CGI and practical effects for," said Hermione.
"Muggles also have devices that enable them able to create things like those dinosaurs," said Harry at Ron's confused look.
"Oh, alright," said Ron, still a little confused.
"I don't care exactly how muggles do it, but this is amazing. We should watch muggle movies more often," said an impressed Ron once the film was over as Harry and Hermione exchanged smiles.
