So who's psyched about the new Harry Potter movie? Any folks going tonight?

[tigereye]

I'm waiting for the weekend - but I know some folks going to the midnight showings tonight. The latest trailer looks extremely creepy!


:woohoo:

1. My daughter is bouncing off the walls

She's going to the midnight show.

[tigereye]

5. a good friend was dressing up to go tonight as McGonigle- fitting since she

is a professor! :D


The reviews in the paper this am were very good. Can't wait to go. We were teasing my son that we were going to go Sunday while he's watching the Steeler game with his uncles! :rofl:

[CBHagman]

2. I'm looking forward to it but won't go right away.

I would have thought there would be more buzz in the Lounge about it.

[iris27]

3. We'll probably be going tomorrow night.

I'm excited but not excited enough to go to a midnight showing on a weeknight!

[tigereye]

6. yeah I had to get up at 6 am today, so it wasn't in the cards for me...

besides wasn't sure I wanted to drive home at 2:30 am or whatever it would have been!

4. My daughter works in a movie theater

She said the first person in line got there at 8 AM!!! The theater didn't even open til 10 am.

I went and saw a movie at 3 pm and there were a half dozen kids there with blankets/laptops/Harry Potter garb sitting in the lobby line already.

Apparently, the girl who got there at 8 am had plugged her computer into the wall for recharging and a manager privately griped about her "using our electricity". Seriously? The kid is going to be in your building for literally 18 hours most likely buying LOTS of food/drink to get thru the day and YOU are bitching about her "using" your electricity????

My daughter's dreading today, she doesn't get off til the midnight ENDS and she got there mid-day!

[tigereye]

7. hope she hangs in there- sounds like a busy day

Worrying about someone plugging in their laptop seems a bit silly. Doesn't everyone do that? I did it in a hospital waiting room while my mom was having some tests...

24. heaven forfend she go the restroom & "use their water"

sheesh. :eyes:

8. My wife is very excited,

we are going to see it Sunday night, or Monday night. I went to the midnight screenings of The Dark Knight/Superman Returns, and both of those screenings were incredibly packed, and I imagine the fan base/hysteria over the new HP movie to eclipse TDK/SR. Plus, we both hate being surrounded by a lot of folks we don't know.

9. I went

It was teh awesome.

[tigereye]

14. cool! the trailer looked really creepy - it looked like it did justice to the book

fairly well!

[XemaSab]

18. I think it's my favorite adaptation of a book so far

It moves slowly enough to really let you consider each scene.

[tigereye]

19. that is an amazing book - when we first read it, you could really feel the fear

and claustrophobia - very effective.

[XemaSab]

27. I thought the film really conveyed

the loneliness and fear of the trio.

Even though they're together, this is the first time they haven't had adults or other kids to help and look after them, and also each of them has his or her own set of fears and anxieties about family and about the other two they're with.

Hermione's freaked about Ron and Harry, Harry is freaked that people are going to get killed because of him and depressed about Ron and Hermione, and Ron is terrified for his family and jealous of Harry and Hermione. :(

[mzteris]

28. I thought Rupert did an EXCELLENT job

as Ron!

Those "Ron moments" were just perfectly timed and delivered. And the scenes where he's starting to lose it - you could really see it in his eyes.

[EternalOptimist01]

29. I went!

It was really good!

Can't say the same about the last one... yuk!

But this one was worth seeing.

10. Were heading out

soon for dinner and Harry! It should be a lot of fun, though there are a few things I'm concerned about. I'll post a review if I get around to it.

[tigereye]

15. please do!

[Orsino]

11. Tomorrow morning.

I'd intended to review the Half-Assed Prince Blu-ray tonight, but didn't get around to it.

[tigereye]

16. I heard some folks were going to see it at 3:30 am this morning!

[Beaverhausen]

12. I saw it last weekend- special screening for WB employees

it's great. I have to go again. Very dark.

[tigereye]

17. it's been interesting to see the films get darker and darker

can't wait to see it! We usually go twice, too.

[Beaverhausen]

13. oops- dupe

[Withywindle]

20. Just got back from it.

Squee! Is there a spoiler thread around? I wanna talk about it!

[tigereye]

25. I don't want to know - since I haven't seen it yet (although I have read all

the books) - so enjoy your spoiling thread -which I just hid! :rofl:

[OmahaBlueDog]

21. Mrs. OBD and OBD daughter #1 went tonight

They loved it!

[Skip Intro]

22. They're decent movies, but I don't get the hysteria. nt

[mvd]

23. I'm going, but waiting until it's less crowded during the week

Have s great Thanksgiving! :hi:

[tigereye]

26. think we'll wait til next weekend- my son says he's not in the mood

for all the crowds.. :hi: It looks scarily good though and they should be able to avoid leaving out as much as they have in past films due to it being in 2 parts!
