Well, that happened.
I saw the most recent installment of the Harry Potter movie series this weekend. Fun times abound as we got there an hour early, allowing we and the Zigzags to be 136th-139th in line. (We know this thanks to TLEMK’s genius detective work of counting all the people in front of us.)
Never fear, we got terrific seats. I love opening night at an over-hyped movie. People cheered at the WB logo. It was very Star Wars-esque
My review: Read everyone else’s review about it, and you’ll get the idea. They cut a lot out, and there wasn’t enough dialogue for me. I thought it captured the adolescence/coming-of-age/raging hormones part fairly well. I thought the end was probably the best part of the movie.
(Stream-of-conciousness time-out– Target is doing their celebrity wakeup call thing again this year to get a start onthe shopping. Kermit can call you. Did you hear me people? KERMIT THE FROG CAN WAKE YOU UP!)
I could rant and rave about the inconsistencies between the book and movie, but those are naturally going to happen. So much happens inside the head of Harry in the book that one pan and scan shot of Harry looking at Cho (who is adorable in this movie) is not nearly enough to convey all the emotions that any of the characters are going through in the story. I went back reread book V and VI after I finished IV, and now I just want the next book and movie to come out.
You may not be suprised to learn that I stick by my description of myself as a very fat Hermione, and here’s the proof:
Which HP Kid Are You?
Well, who are you?
