HP!! [spoiler-free!]

Went to see Harry Potter last night, which was a terribly complicated ordeal. I'd originally not planned on arriving at the theatre until 7:15ish (the movie started at 7:20; we already had our tickets, though, so it just would've been a matter of popping in after someone saved me a seat), but everything took a turn for the ideal when I listened to the message my violin teacher left me telling me that, since he was busy from 6:00-6:30, I could either come at 5:00 or at 6:30 instead of the usual 6:00. I, of course, got the message at 5:45, so that was that - I was off the hook.

I showed up around 6:15 to find a big chunk of the rest of my group there (they all filtered in somewheres between 6:00-6:45ish, probably). My group (well, the group I was in - it's Timo's group, if you want to get technical) combined itself with Caitlin's group, who got tickets for the same show, and post-ticket-ripping, when our theatre was finally open, there was a MAD DASH!! for good seats. Claire grabbed my hand and dragged me running past the several dozen others that had been in front of us in line, and through our MAD DASH!!, we were able to get nice seats at the perfect height, right in the middle.

It amuses me to no end that my group + Caitlin's group took up an entire row and a half.

I was sandwiched between Claire (whom I'd promised to sit next to and fangirl with prior to running down the hall toward the theatre) and Jay (quite a funny character, though sometimes you begin to wonder whether he can actually speak un-sardonically... which he can, I know, but seriously!), and we randomly chatted and went into excited hysterics until the movie started.

We're such freaks, I know. ><

So yes... the movie... It was good. Intense (I'd forgotten how intense the fourth book is), but quite nicely done. It had a lot of funny moments, too - hilarious moments, actually. The actress for Rita Skeeter is so funny. ><

And we get to see Daniel Radcliffe w/o his shirt OMFGOMFGOMFG.

(But seriously, he was only fifteen, people. Stop being creepy. And Rupert Grint is infinitely better and more adorable, and the only reason we aren't falling head-over-heals in OMFG with him is because he isn't the title character. He is a better actor, though, and Claire and I had numerous squeal-while-batting-our-hands-around-randomly moments over him and over exciting HPness in general. I also personally thought that James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George) were delectable, as always!! <3)

I'd love to say more, but I don't feel like writing a spoilerific post until I know that I can actually discuss it with anyone out there reading this (well, anyone out there reading this who wasn't at the movie with me). I'll just leave you with one incredulous thought that Claire and I shared, whispered in hysterical giggles, during the movie:

"Why is he sitting in a tree?!"

"Why is he sitting in a tree?!" Well, why not? If I were him, *I'd* sit in a tree. Wouldn't you?

HAHA ... actually, I sorta yelled, like he would answer me: "Why are you sitting in a tree??" ... ohhh my.

I'm glad you made such a lovely update, cause I'm too lazy too and AHHHHHHHH I love fangirling. Especially next to Jay and D-Ray, who not only think we're insane but gladly tell us so. I want to see it again, though ... hehehe ... moooore Harry Potter!
