So, since the final movie is tomorrow, please post your thoughts on it here, before and after seeing it.
Before: AAAAAAAH I'M GOING TO THE MIDNIGHT RELEASE IN COSTUME AND IT'S GOING TO BE TOTALLY AWESOME.

I had been planning to go, but unexpected bills ate my money. I now have ten dollars to pay for gas and food until August 17th. ;___;
I'm tempted to go see it anyway, my god how I'm tempted.

Mum got us advance tickets for the IMAX showing. =3
Also, spoilers? Like, you haven't read the book yet?

*grin* I wondered about that myself...but hey, you never know. My best friend still hasn't read the last book, so far as I know, so I couldn't gush about Part 1 to her when it came out.

I have a friend who hadn't started to read the books until about a year ago, though she'd seen the movies, and she still hasn't read the last book. So, yeah, spoilers.

My roommate's girlfriend, who's 23, still hasn't read a single HP book, but she follows the movies. I'm tempted to yell "SNAPE'S A GOOD GUY!" the next time she comes over.  ETA: Oop, forgot...so, uh, who you going as? Please say Bellatrix.  Or Tonks. If you say Umbridge, I kill you where you stand. |

I'm seeing it tonight. I'm tempted to wear my Snape shirt in support.  |

If you really want to spoil the last movie, just should "The ending is a complete fucking cop-out!" She'll want to kill you when she sees it. On a related note, it's weird what you get when you only watch the movies, it seems. I've had several people of the decided belief that Harry and Hermione were meant for each other based on the movies. There was much RAAAAAAEG when he snogged Cho. I'd mock people for wanting to dress up for a Potter movie, but I want one of the movie wands. In my future as an internet commentary "celebrity," I will stand against the forces of darkness with a Wand and a Sonic Screwdriver. "It doesn't maim, it doesn't wound, it doesn't kill....But this..." *points wand* "Avara Kedavra!" Hey, I never claimed I'd actually be GOOD.... Amaranth--Or is it Slevin Kalevra? Hey, I never said I was good at LAtin (or Hebrew) either. |

I thought it was Aveda (Avaeda?) Kedavra. But yeah, going in about 3 hours to get some early dinner and then stand in line for 6-8 hours XD... dressing up in my trenchy if I can and it's not too hot... I already look like some bizzare lost-brother of Radcliffe so it helps. Though the trenchcoat is more Snape-like I guess... when movie 6 came out I got a few photos from people standing in line.... and then some crazy person came up to me and started talking to me about how Rowling stole the idea from someone else - he was pretty freaky.
It's more fun with the midnight showings, everybody's there and the theater has this...electricity to it. I did the same with some of the Pirates movies and I think we ended up doing it for Revenge of the Fallen.

Avada Kadavra, it seems. I'm slexdysic and have trouble enough with English sometimes. If I learn something wrong, it stays stuck in my head that way for a long time.
Was the guy talking about the adventures of Larry and Lily Potter or whatever?
I remember the extent the author went to connect the two. Both stories involve a LAKE.
Shit, my novel contains humans. It is therefore a ripoff od the Great Gatsby.

I much prefer Imperio...no, I don't keep kidnapped porn stars locked in my basement, why do you ask? When I described something or other of the fans of the series to my roommate (damned if I remember what we were discussing in particular; I do know that I need sleep, though) I must've got all excited talking about Voldemort and green shit spewing out of his wand, 'cause she couldn't stop laughing at me. I vaguely remember her saying "he should get that seen about". The movies leave WAY too much out, and add some weird shit in. I will note, though, that I collapsed into giggles the first time I watched the scene in Philosopher's Stone (Sorcerer's Stone?) wherein Ron and Harry pretend to be Crabbe and Goyle. "Huh...I didn't know you could read." Tom's little face was SO FUCKING CUTE. ...*wistful sigh* I'm just gonna have to wait until August to see the grand finale...fuck, if I'm this desperate for costuming, maybe I'll join my uni's geek club and dress up in Slytherin getup for the Halloween party. |

Can I borrow some of those porn stars you don't have locked up? For...Research or something. I mostly just ran with the Killing Curse to parallel the Doctor's weapon of choice...He can, in a pinc, put up shelves.... If I had green stuff spitting out of my wand, I'd be on antibiotics. The funny thing about the movies is I've been saying for years they could split them in two and market them more heavily. The only MAJOR problem would be an increased filming schedule, but I hear the original cut of HPatSS was over four hours, so maybe they had enough to run with. And while I've always got the whole "you need to trim stuff for movies," it struck me as weird some of the choices they made. It seems like going into the nature of Harry's Patronus and the identities of Moony, Wormtail, PAdfoot and Prongs would aid the story. In fact, my friends were expecting it to come up later, and I had to break it to them that there wasn't likely to be any more explanation. And trimming Dobby out seems almost like a sin. I think it's more that they wanted to avoid Jar-Jar syndrome, but he does so much.... Granted, they give his parts to Neville, so.... Though I admit, sometimes the mystery is better. I hadn't finished the fourth book by the fourth movie, so I was hoping "Prior Incanpotatoes" would be a little less...Anticlimactic than it was. Oh noes! It repeats the old spells! That's not a Prio. THIS is a Prior:  And trust me, he will fuck up Voldemort, Dumbledore, AND Magneto. ...Sorry, but the way Dumbledore gasped about it, I expected something...More. I get that Voldemort ends up seeking a new wand over it, but LAME. And you know why they changed it to "Sorcerer's Stone," right? Because Philosophy is even worse than Witchcraft. |

It's easy for me to go in costume. Cut my hair and wear my old, circular glasses. Hey presto, perfect Harry costume.

I'm going to wait until long after the initial opening to go see it. That way, I don't have to deal with kids screaming and people with cell phones.

Or Tonks.
