I don't know if I've ever mentioned it before, but I love Harry Potter! I love all the books and all the movies, even when they totally mess up and leave things out.
Well, July 15 was the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Being the huge Harry Potter fan that I am, I went to the premiere with my mom and one of my best friends, Kristina.
It's already kind of crazy to go to the midnight premiere. I mean, we didn't get back until something like 3:30, and I didn't fall asleep until something like 5:00, and my mom had to come and wake me and Kristina up at something like 7:00. It was already crazy that we were even going, when you think about it. We didn't just go to the premiere, though. Kristina and I dressed up.
I can't remember all the details, since it was a while ago now, but I know that it was super fun. I dressed up as Ginny Weasley, and Kristina dressed up as Hermione Granger. I got to dye my hair red for the event, and Kristina got hers cut "Hermione length". We both got robes. She bought a plastic copy of Hermione's wand for the costume shop in town, and I order a wooden copy of Ginny's wand online. (By the way, it still hasn't come. It got lost in the mail. I'm pretty mad about that, considering it cost, like, $40. Still, I did have something to use, so I still had a wand.) I also wore my Quidditch goggles that I bought when I went to New York way back before I even had this blog. It was really fun.
We went there really early because we wanted to make sure that the line wasn't huge or anything like that. I can't remember exactly when we got there, but it was something like 10:00, maybe something like 9:30. Okay, I guess that's not that early, but considering the previews didn't start until 12:00, it was definitely on the earlier side.
We got our own little line because we had preordered 3-D tickets. At one point in time me and Kristina went and got some snacks from a vending machine next to the bathrooms. We came back, ate our snacks, and talked a little bit. One of my mom's besties came and sat with us while we were in line.
At around 10:30, they actually let our line go into the theater. We got awesome 3-D glasses (they were shaped just like Harry's glasses) and then we got our seats. My mom and her friend went down to sit in one row, and me and Kristina went and sat down in a different one. A person a few rows up from us was watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 on their laptop, so me and Kristina watched some of it. We talked to people who were sitting around us right up until midnight. At one point Kristina went and got popcorn for us, but other than that, we stayed in our seats, waiting for the movie to start.
At 12:00, the previews started. The movie theater got really quiet. After a bunch of previews, the movie finally started. I'm not going to say anything about it in case you somehow never saw it, but let me just say it was awesome! There were some parts that I didn't like that much, but most of it was great. They did some parts perfectly, and others they screwed up a little bit. Overall, though, I loved the movie!
I wish the movies weren't all over. I'm going to miss midnight premieres and such. Still, Harry Potter will never die! The series will go on forever. I'll say it's over when the movie comes out on DVD. I'll say it's over when I get all the super mega ultra extended editions on Blu-Ray. It won't be over, though. Harry Potter will live on forever!
