Good Morning :)
My head hurts and im very tired still... but it was worth it.
Best film out of all of them and brilliantly put together. I didnt cry which was a blessing but it is very moving.
I forgot some bits happened which was nice to see.
Kreecher no secrets :)
At the end of the film everyone clapped and when we were all in our cars in the carpark we had a beeping moment which was funny.
I love it when hundreds of Harry Potter fans come together [hgrin]
Hope you all enjoy it those watching it today! :)

Well, we all got to bed at almost three am this morning after seeing the film at a midnight showing last night. Our cinema also showed Part I first (no extra cost) just before it, so only 40 minutes between the films - that was such a good idea on their part!

Most of the audience were teens/early 20's, loads had got dressed up in school uniform-like stuff with lightening scars on their foreheads. Rounds of applause as the film started, more applause and cheers at pivotal points - it was such a good atmosphere, really added to the enjoyment.

"We" included my DS of 12. And we got up at 7.30 this morning and I took him to school. I know it's a bit much for a school night (my entry for Understatement of the Year 2011), but it is truly a complete never-to-be-repeated one-off that I wanted him to experience.

TyMinisterForMagic · 15/07/2011 13:57

It is a once in a lifetime thing and I am sure your ds will treasure the memory [hsmile]

DedalusDigglesPocketWatch · 15/07/2011 14:38

My excitement has gone up a gear after getting a surprise parcel in the post. DH had ordered me HP blu-ray box set in secret! So I now have all except DHpt2. Going to watch them all and I am trying to organise a night to go and see the new one (fit to burst with excitement)

TyMinisterForMagic · 15/07/2011 15:24

Aww how sweet of your dh Dedalus! :)

MummyTigger · 15/07/2011 16:44

Just got in from my showing - astounding film :D

FoofusScrimgeour · 15/07/2011 17:52

2 hrs and 40 mins eeek!!

The cauldron cakes turned out fab. Can't believe it.

TyMinisterForMagic · 15/07/2011 17:56

Oh Foo have fun, I wish I could go again tonight [hsmile]

Caoimhe · 15/07/2011 18:02

Just got back from the cinema - the kids really enjoyed it!! The audience was great - lots of cheering and clapping (although there was laughter at bits that were unintentionally funny). Huge round of applause at the end as well.

WhereYouLeftIt · 15/07/2011 18:41

Yes, some giggles at "Blckthorn .... 10 inches ....." Grin

Oh my lordy! The excitement is giving Mr butterflys. I hope my dicky ticker holds out. With HP and having to climb Snowdon, its gonna be under a lot of stress.

I'm glad everybody has enjoyed it. I hope the atmosphere is still good tomorrow night.

To everybody going tonight. Enjoy!!

Come on to the review thread!

I loved it and did full fancy dress (Bellatrix). Am going again tomorrow as a muggle.

Steeplearningcurve · 15/07/2011 23:17

so jealous! desperate to see it but just used up my parent babysitting goodwill on a night out with friends so it will be a few weeks. anyone seen it in 3d and if so is it worth it?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/07/2011 23:19

Yes, yes to 3D - it was amazing. Voldemort seemed about three inches away from me at times!

Steeplearningcurve · 15/07/2011 23:21

FoofusScrimgeour · 15/07/2011 23:32
