harry potter


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was AMAZING! It was quite the experience. I got chills and I even teared up a little bit, no real crying, but my heart strings got tugged on a couple of times. I was relieved that we didn't have a "Jazz" in our theater. Let me tell you the story about Jazz while watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 in the movie theater. OH.MY.GOSH. So we're all sitting there enjoying our front row seats the night of the movie, all gussied up in our costumes. And then comes the part where Dobby dies. I love Jazz and all, but this was too much. I was glad I was not sitting next to her because I think I might have punched her. Anyway, Dobby dies and all you hear is Jazz SOBBING; not politely shedding a tear or two. It was as if own of her closest family members had died, one of those weepings. Everyone in the theater kept looking over and every once in a while making shushing sounds. Craziness.

But I do have a few stories from this midnight premiere. Well, first of all, it was only a party of two: my sister and I. I had invited Jennifer to come along with us, but she dislikes Harry Potter and only would go if it was a huge social event. It wasn't, so it was sissy and I for the night. So we got to the theater at around 10 pm; we would have been earlier, but my sister was a little preoccupied. So 10 pm it was and there are NO seats left in the theater besides ones that annoying people were saving and ones in the very very front. So we do the walk of shame to the front of the theater and take our seats, while preparing ourselves for some neck craning. Then one of the managers comes in and says that everyone HAS to scoot in towards the center of the theater to allow for more seats to open up. I immediately stand up and start running towards the top of the theater; not even kidding, I was in a full sprint up the stairs. Of course no one moves so I start giving people the stink eye, waiting for them to feel horrible. It finally paid off, and I secured two prime seats. I'm proud of myself. I know I can be a shy, little one, but I definitely have my shining moments.

All in all, the movie was magical. Literally and figuratively. I loved every moment of it, and I can't wait to have all the movies in my possession. So that I can watch all the magic unfold from beginning to end. And since I have a very long plane flight ahead of me, I might take the seventh book and re-read it. We'll see, maybe I'm just a little ambitious right now.

But for the time being,
Mischief Managed.
