Wild about Harry- Potter that is!

[Queen Bonnie]

 So good to hear about the movie! Wow! Can't wait for Sat.
I can't do late nights!

MUST.HAVES.MORE.COFFEE!!!!!

Can you believe that as we left, another group was getting ready to go in??? YES! They had a 3:30am showing!

There was a 3:20 am showing here, too, and the crowd looked just as big for that as it was for the midnight showing.

Coffee...energy drinks...caffeinated mints...keep it coming, only 6 more hours of work to go 

The hard part? Not spoiling it for those seeing it this weekend, and waiting until the next one!

[LadyShadow]

Oh I really cant wait now.  Is it Saturday yet?

[LadyElizabeth]

I have another 6.4 hrs left until I get to see it!!!!  I CAN'T wait!!!!  It's gonna rock my socks off... wish I could see the imax tonight, but I"d rather just see it, ya know!  My fam and I have been watching all the other ones this past week and it's getting me really excited about the new one!  I'll tell you tomorrow my assessment, but won't give anything away.

It's a nation-wide epidemic - my coffee is defective as well!

Am now working on a diet cola/sugar buzz.  It was worth it!

I got there with plenty of time. We were able to finish up the show 20 mins earlier than usual, so I got to the theatre at about 11:30. And then I met with the biggest line I've ever seen outside of Disneyland. This theatre has 18 stadium screens, and I'm pretty sure every single one was having Harry Potter at midnight. It was crazy!

And now for my opinions:


Spoiler warning!





I actually thought the movie was probably the best yet. Until they got back to the castle after the cave. Then seriously, what the hell happened? It was like they all of a sudden ran out of money. No battle? Oh, yeah, instead, lets have stupid HBC running around like a monkey, wreaking havoc in various rooms. It was such a let down, I don't even know how to rank the movie! And then no funeral for Dumbledore? It just doesn't make sense. And of course, since it's the last thing you see, it left me with a terrible taste in my mouth about the movie as I left the theatre. Altogether unacceptable.

My other qualms were the burning of the Burrow, Ginny and Harry in the Room of Requirement (hello, um, you kind of forgot to show Harry seeing a rusty old tiara!), the lack of Hufflepuff's cup being shown, and them never having done something about the last movie showing the real locket in the cabinet in Grimmauld Place (and thus, not showing Mundungus selling everything he stole from there). So basically, there are 3 of 7 Horcruxes that the movies have not attempted to explain.

I'm also not sure how I feel about Luna being a plot-revealing device. Evanna Lynch does a wonderful job, but a lot of it seems out of character.

Altogether, I really wish I could go back and see it again, and have the ending be miraculously changed.





End Spoiler!

Lady Rebecca- from what i have read, there is talk of having the 'omitted very important scene' at the start of the next movie...

[Queen Bonnie]

  I did not read the spoiler! Thanks for the warning!
I made cockroach clusters tonight in anticipation!
Dark chocolate- a dash of brandy and nuts!
Should help protect me from dementors attacks too!

[C Dragonworks]

OOOOOOHHHH The cockroach clusters sound YUMMY! Wish I was going with you!

[Queen Bonnie]

 I wish you were too Cat!  Will you get to see the movie?  Come up Saturday and go with us!
