Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1

Yesterday morning my parents came and picked up Josh and I and we went to the theater to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1. We’ve seen all the Harry Potter movies in the theaters, but we almost missed this one! We found out it was only going to be in theaters until Thursday afternoon, so we went on the second to last day of its showing! I’ve been feeling so sick that I couldn’t even contemplate sitting in a theater for three hours, but I have been okay enough with the medication I’m on for me to feel up to it.

Mom brought red vines and raisinettes and we got popcorn and sodas. It was great to be back in a theater! We really enjoyed the movie, too. It’d been so long since we read the book that I had forgotten a lot of the things that happened. It kept me on the edge of my seat! I had remembered that most of the book was Harry and Hermione and Ron waiting around in a tent, and I wondered how that would translate in a movie…how would they make it not boring? But they did a great job. It was even a tear-jerker at parts.

I’m so glad we got to see it before it left the theater! I wish George had been able to make it, but we found out on such short notice that it was going to be leaving the theaters that he couldn’t take off work. 🙁 He says he doesn’t mind seeing it when it comes to DVD, but I feel so bad because he’d waited all this time to see it in the theaters with us!

I’m so glad that you felt up to going to see this in the theater, Honey. It was great to get to see it on the big screen with you and your parents and our treats. It would have felt strange to miss a Harry Potter film in the theater and it was great. We both had read the book just once when it first came out so I sure had forgotten a lot of it, too. A lot of it was like new again to me. The only issue that annoys me is this new trend of splitting single books into multiple films. It’s obviously a transparent attempt to make more money and, in a way, it’s nice to prolong the series but they also had a manufacture an “ending” when we could have just had closure with this movie. Oh, well. Hopefully the “Part Two” will just come out soon.

We just barely made it!!! Thank you guys for the popcorn and soda- made the movie experience all the more fun!:)

So glad you guys got to go see it-and you were up to it!! Yes, it is too bad they put in back in theatres after they told you it was going to be done in a day. But, good for you to make it thru-yay!!!!
