The stubbly Malfoy look? Mmm. I am young enough yo be their daughter but yes to Isaacs, Rickman, Fiennes and Thewlis.

:D. Awfully excited. I can't see it until my day off on Monday but I'm terribly impatient!

I went to see it yesterday here in France, tis very very good and I prefer the HP books to the films generally.

It was in 3D as well which I didn't expect but I loved it it was really good - but more 3D for the scenery than the action scenes if you get my drift.

I didn't find it that scary or sad but perhaps because we were watching in French so possibly missed the nuance of the language.

DS2(6) and his classmate both loved it and the only bit they found really uncomfortable was the kiss between Ron and Hermione - lots of squirming in the seats at that.

It's a pensieve, Longtime...

Longtime · 14/07/2011 11:52

It's kreecher who asked that Punkatheart :). Having read the books a fair few times and being unreasonably absorbed by anything hp for such an oldie, I of course knew it was a pensieve .

(Still wondering exactly who you dp is. How lucky to have been so involved in all of this!)

Longtime · 14/07/2011 11:53

I want to go and see it again!

VoldemortsNipple · 14/07/2011 12:17

I just watched Deathly Hallows Part one while the kids are at school and I can cry enjoy it in peace. I havent watched it since the day it was released on DVD so I really enjoyed it.

My tickets are for Saturday night and I am doing a charity walk up Snowdon Saturday day. Ive told everybody if they break their leg or get lost on the mountain, they are getting left behind and will have to wail for Prince William to come and rescue them.

Im thinking we need a HP inspired meal before the big night. Any suggestions?

Well you'll definitely have to try and make some form of Pumpkin Pie or Pasty!

Some soup "Witches Brew"

Some Butterbeer? :D

Loads of recipes right here for sweeties and things

That's all I could really thin of. But I'm definitely trying Butterbeer!!

TyMinisterForMagic · 14/07/2011 13:15

Arghhhhhhhhhhhh
I have just booked my tickets for the midnight showing tonight, I thought it would all be booked up, Iam very excited! [hgrin]

MelodyMagicalMaladies · 14/07/2011 14:20

Ty - Me too! Now just need a costume for DH and a spell to make him wear it!

So excited!

Pendeen · 14/07/2011 14:24

YABU because it's tripe.

ThumbsNoseAtSnapewitch · 14/07/2011 14:56

Oh I am really quite of all of you who will be seeing it/have seen it before me now - I didn't think I would be but I am! Still, won't be long, hopefully, before I get to go too. [hgrin]

Not sure when I'm going to fit a re-watch of Part I in beforehand, though - I still don't really want DS seeing it and he's around too much of my awake time (and jsut waking up again now )

FoofusScrimgeour · 14/07/2011 15:02

FoofusScrimgeour · 14/07/2011 18:32

Not me Ty. I'm booked for 8.30 tomorrow.

TyMinisterForMagic · 14/07/2011 18:35

Foo I was going to go for 8.30pm but midnight is easier babysitter wise as dh can have them [hgrin]

FoofusScrimgeour · 14/07/2011 18:39

Wish I had a multifunctional DH < sigh >

NarcissaMalfoy · 14/07/2011 19:25

2 more sleeps for me.

VoldemortsNipple · 14/07/2011 20:28

I'm very excited for you guys going tonight. Do you have any special plans for the big event. I'm going to make some spicy squash pumpkin pasties and butterbeer to have before we go.

I might get the kids dressed up for the occasion but I haven't decided yet. DD has Hermione's wand and resembles her a bit but she's died her hair black so it doesn't have the same effect. DSs have Voldemort's and Dumbledore wands, so they would be hard to do as well.

FoofusScrimgeour · 14/07/2011 20:51

Excellent Idea.

I'm going with Butterbeer and Cauldron Cakes.

TyMinisterForMagic · 14/07/2011 22:08
