Yayayayay!Becca and I hit the IMAX for a screening of the new Harry Potter film last night - woot!
Random Thoughts (While Trying to be Vague to Avoid Spoilers for People Who Haven't Seen It):
*Overall, I thought it was bloody brilliant - the final scene in the Ministry was just 20 minutes of nonstop goosebumps for me
*God, I love the Weasley twins (who have better hair this time around)
*Umbrage was spectacularly portrayed - evil and tormenting while being sickly sweet on the surface, made worse when Becca and I realized who she reminds us of, causing us to giggle every time she came on the screen
*Daniel Radcliffe really has come into his own as an actor
*Want.More.Lupin.And.Tonks.And.Snape.
*The final battle in 3-D was pretty damn cool (even if the 3-D glasses are decidedly NOT damn cool *grin*)
*Dementors = Freakin' Scary
*That Phoenix effect with Dumbledore was superrad
*The whole Cho relationship was a bit...underdeveloped...from the book
*No quidditch. :-(
*Luna was really well cast
*I think a lot of subtle groundwork for the last two books (and thus, movies) was missing, and I'm curious how it will effect the future productions
Overall....FANTASTIC!

This time I was the only person in the theater giggling uncontrollably when the Twins were on. I don't understand other people. Fred and George are the movies. I couldn't give rat's ass about Harry Potter.
The best lines: "Hermione, I hate your cat" from Fred/George and "I'm going to be sick" from Snape.
I forgot to blog it but I really loved Luna as well. Although we all thought it was disturbing to see her face all covered in blood at the ministry. Definitely not a kids movie anymore.
Dude, I was too! I couldn't stop giggling every time the cute'ums were on the screen. *giggles*
And then I thought of that Wearing These Chains post and laughed harder, while blushing a little. ;-)
