Harry Potter Anybody??
Oh. My. Gosh! Did anybody else go see the conclusion to Harry Potter at midnight last night? It was absolutely phenomenal! It was the perfect conclusion to an era. I'm so torn up about it; my childhood is officially over...
Re: Harry Potter Anybody??
First midnight movie EVER!? Whoa! You've been missing out, girl. I've seen all of them at midnight, including the first one where my dad had to take me. I had to work at 7 this morning, so I only got 3 hours of sleep, but it was totally worth it.
I cried so hard, laughed, and now I'm starting to get the empty feeling... I get extremely attached to fictional characters, a trait my husband finds hilarious. I've grown up with Harry Potter. I was the same age as him for all of the books except the last one, and I've read them waaaaay too many times each. I feel so empty now. I know I'm totally geeking it out, but I am actually upset that this era is over. I can't think of a better tribute to the series, both books and movies, than the final book and films.
I just got home from seeing it, we couldn't go last night because DH had to work today. I wore my Slytherin robe and got lots of compliments on it :-P
The movie was amazing, I liked how the super intense scenes had no background music, I thought that was appropriate. I cried during (not to spoil it) ya know, that really emotional scene... with the people. And Snape's attack was brutal! And I thought Ginny and Hermoine didn't look any older at the end.
Yes! Giving them a "mom" hair-do did not do the trick. And there's no way that Hermoine would ever let Ron let himself go like that...
LOL Agreed.
I went last night to a 9:30pm showing...and someone brought an infant. Not a baby, an infant. Like it was so little that when it cried it wasn't even real tears, you know, that young? So this baby is crying and being all sad because it probably wants to eat or sleep, poor thing, and the mom STAYS IN THE THEATER and tries walking around to different spots (like that will help) and where does she land? In the one empty seat right. in. front. of. me.
I was like you've got to be kidding me, I am trying to wrap up an epic series here, and you're stupid enough to bring your infant to an evening showing of the final installment of that series?
Kinda killed my buzz, thank goodness she grew a brain and went to take care of her poor tired baby somewhere that didn't affect a hundred other people.
As for the movie itself, I will say that I cried, I enjoyed myself, and I thought it was a good film. But I will be the minority here and say that they could have done it even better, I think. :-/
The parts that bothered me (I later realized) had more to do with directing choices than acting choices. I thought all of the actors were brilliant and brought their usual emotion and commitment to their wonderful characters.
I'm def sad it's over tho...and I'm re-reading the last book now, just so I don't have to let go!
I saw it last night, too. I think it came together very well, although they made a few changes clearly for dramatic purposes that I don't think were necessary.
I was wondering if they would film the epilogue and I feel a little torn about it. How epic would it have been for the whole thing to end with the three of them standing there and it fading to black like it did... minus the epilogue? And I agree that they could have done more to age them. But at the same time it was very sweet and I even teared up a little.
I enjoyed it. I'll probably be re-reading the books again soon.
