{loved it}

I just realized that both of my HP posts were just leading up to the movie! I went to the midnight showing with my dear friend Amanda and it was so good. I kind of wish there were more HP movies coming out so I could do the midnight showing again.. It's just amazing to be in a theater filled with people who want to be there as much {or much more so} as I do. And who didn't bring their children/babies. I love kids, don't get me wrong. But Harry Potter is no place for children. This movie wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. There was a lot of violence and it was pretty intense, but they did a really good job with having plot with the battle. I'm not the type of person who will go through the book and movie and stew about everything they did wrong because I think that ruins it. It was a great movie and even though they didn't do everything exactly as JK Rowling wrote it, it was tastefully done. I'm planning on seeing it again, but that might be after it goes to dollar theaters. I didn't cry as much as I expected either. But I loved having the audience laugh, cheer, and be silent when it was appropriate! What a great experience.
So sad the movies are done, but I've thoroughly enjoyed them all; cheesy or not. Now we just need JK to start writing again, even though she's probably set for life financially. {oh my, how they've grown!}

counting down..

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part two is coming up!!! I've been re-watching the other movies in preparation for it and I'm so flipping excited!! Also, Cody is up in SLC for his company's convention this week, so I'm alone until Saturday.. I'm going to miss him lots. Even with my crazy schedule, I've still been able to see him fairly often. Not having him here when I get home from Harry Potter will be hard. I'm going to cry the whole time, I just know it! I've already cried during the trailers I've watched, so you do the math!

Question: when did Neville Longbottom get so hot? He needs to get his British teeth fixed, but he is looking very handsome these days..

Also, I'm still doing the 30-day challenge over yonder, so check it out!

get ready!

Thanks to my loverly friend Amanda, I have now borrowed all seven currently available Harry Potter movies, and I will soon commence the watching of said movies before the MIDNIGHT showing of part two of Deathly Hallows ... Next week people! Did I tell you I bought some Potter-esque glasses in preparation of said showing?! Because I did. I'm also a little sad that I am just now on the Harry Potter bandwagon. Oh, the wasted years!! I also kind of wish I didn't have to work or be a wife for the next week so I could read through all of the books before I go to the movie. Just a little bit. *sigh* Too excited, is what I am. GET EXCITED WITH ME!
