"Being me has it's priveleges"

Official Goodmorning to you Owl Bloggers out there!!! I just got back from the opening day showing of "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" with Alexis. First things first, when we got in, it was extremely packed and we had to choose the front seats (6th from the actual 1st seats at the bottom) and it was actually a very nice spot. I of course thought about possible neck strain but I didn't. The closest thing I got for sitting that close was a slight butt/tailbone ache (it's gone now). Plus, I didn't feel it until the end of the movie.

It honestly felt like a semi-imax experience. During each P.O.V it felt like I was right along with him. By the way, Alexis dressed up all Gryffindor'd out. While I stuck to my Tommy H. elbow length polo and covered the Tommy H. crest with the Gryffindor crest. We were the only two in that theatre showing potter pride but as soon as the film started, we were surrounded by fans that reacted along just as we did. But of course, I was the only one excited to see Ron Weasely every single time he came on screen.

The movie itself was very entertaining. This time, I really felt like they focused on the characters specifically which was funny and heartfelt. Of course I got choked up when Hermoine became disappointed in Ron. Of course I cried when Dumbledore died. It was such a weak fight, it didn't even seem fair. Yes, I know the movie "totally skipped around the whole book" blah, blah. For some reason, I love it nonetheless. It's beautiful as it is and I'm re-reading the series again. I think this might be my favorite by far, though the last five still have a place in my heart. I'm also going to finish the last one this time. It's been so long that I've nearly forgotten most of what the book had. After a full Harry Potter Marathon day with Alexis I'm still not Pottered out. I just love those books and mobies. I have to start building my collection. Hahaha. Right, so I'm going to bed now, well okay I lied. Soon. Going to answer some e-mails then I'm right off...sheesh, okay I'm going!!!

I very much recommend that you guys see this despite your views on book vs. movie. It's entertaining...lots of laughs.
