Harry Potter post

Harry Potter movie 5 experience: Ok, I went to watch the movie twice, once with manda and another with clar- First time I entered a gold class screening, and it was good. =) Though the food, as I predicted, served as too much of a distraction- The sound system and screen weren't as good as the extremely big screens- but the seats were just great- With the reclining and everything- >_< Extremely comfortable, though it didn't have the lifting armrest thing that clar hoped to have-

The normal screening I went to with manda was awesome too though. There were cheers and laughter at the parts that were funny- And the big screen and the sound system was great- I remember absolutely grinning during the broom-flying part, and jumping in my seat at the startling ones ^^ Heheh... And of course, the random fangirl beating that manda and I were exchanging at different parts of the movie- *coughsnarrycough*

Anyway, in short...

Gold class screening: Extremely comfy- (they had a blanket and recliner and everything) But action areas weren't as prominent- >_< Nice lounge, nice seats =)
Normal screening: Big screen, nice sound ;)

Movie (Order of the Phoenix) details:

-- START SPOILER WARNING --
Okay... well... if you hadn't been re-reading the book just before the show to refresh your mind about the details... it was good ^^;; It was, thankfully, better manipulated than the previous movie. They cut off many parts, but made up for it by changing the storyline so that it didn't seem out of place- So all in all it didn't leave me complaining like nuts about the show, seeing as I prepared myself like crazy after the madness of the previous movie.

However, for die-hard fans who really remember every single detail (like this girl that was in the toilet we went to after the show) it may be rather disappointing... The ENTIRE Quidditch portion was removed: meaning no quidditch practices or games, no Ginny seeker, no Ron-Harry animosity, no Quidditch ban (which, regretfully, brought the Weasley twin's flight's awesome-ness down a notch. I was personally quite looking forward to the 'Accio broom!' part >_<), none of the details in the Department of Mysteries... Eh.... Lets not continue, shall we..?

Oh, and Luna wasn't as weird as she was in the book ^^;; In fact, I ended up liking her a fair bit , despite the dreamy look she did have in her eyes >_< Heh...

Despite the changing of the storyline and all, however, some parts still seemed to require some basic background knowledge of the show before it could be understood- Like the viel (I don't even think ignorant viewers would really know what that was) >_<

But on the whole, it was pretty good, though it could have been way way way better if they included more details and made the movie time longer >_< But still, it was alright =)

-- END SPOILER WARNING --

Book 7 - Deathly Hallows: On the morning of watching HP with Clar, I got myself a surprise: The Deathly Hallows book Adult edition inside a Bloomsburg bag =D [Thanks again Clar..!! =D] Yeah, but I couldn't 'chiong' it... and ended up reading it over 2 Sat nights, 1 Sun evening and 1 random weekday along the way (which relatively tortured me, espcially when it came towards the end)

Finally finished it yesterday night, though, and like WHOA IT WAS ROCK-AWESOME!! =D All of my guesses before hit spot-on, though it was written such that I thought that everything I thought beforehand was wrong >_<

Warning: Manda dunno whether u wanna read the following part

Putting that aside... Omgsnarryomgsnarryomgsnacapesnapesnapeihavesofalleninlovewithsnapeandsnarryalloveragain. WAH!! Okay, I don't know if that was intelligible but WAH!!!!!!! *dies*

Okay, before I start fangirling and giving spoilers I'll end this post... >_<
