Yesterday morning I was at TCNJ (the college of two best friends) because two of my favorite wizard rockers were there (Matt of the Whomping Willows and Lauren of the Moaning Myrtles). I was crazy excited. Me and Nik went to the student center, sat in some nice seats and waited for them to arrive. Ha once they got there I totally geeked out of course and Lauren gave me the cutest little wave (I was wearing one of her band shirts) and then played her set. It was great and I don't care if no one else thought so or was even listening to her but I loved it and sang along anyway. Then Matt came on and he says "Hey I know you" to me. Wow. WOOOOWWW. So then he coerced me and Nik to stand up close and wrock out. He called out out saying we were experienced wrockers and would show them how it's done. :D His set was great and of course no one else knew what the hell was going on but I loved every second of it. Right after he was done he jumped off stage and came over to talk to us. Super nice of course. They signed my picture I got with them in Cape May and we took some new ones. We told them we'd see them on Sunday (which is of course WROCKFEST!) and you could tell they were genuinely happy we were there. <3
Immediately after TCNJ me and Nik went straight to AMC for the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. This was at 2:30 mind you. Yep. Waited nine and a half hours in the freezing (yes freezing) cold for my true love. And would do it all over again too.
This movie was fantastic. I loved it. This is definitely my favorite Harry Potter film (which in turn makes it my favorite film ever) of all time. I felt is was almost a perfect adaptation of the book. I cried before it even began, knowing that this was it scared me. It truely is the beginning of the end. For something that has been my whole life realizing it actually does end is so frightening and mind boggling to say the least.
Just before it started I started to cry. This is my life. There's only one more premiere to go. One more event to really connect with the fandom. One more new Harry. Only one more.
It really hit me as I watched Emma Watson on Letterman the other night. I when I say hit me it was a fucking shit ton of bricks. Right after Emma sat down he showed a split screen of her at the London Deathly Hallows premiere and at The Sorcerer's Stone premiere at age 11. I started sobbing. I couldn't control myself. Soon it will all be gone. Here today...gone tomorrow. But really it will never leave from my life. Honestly if you know me at all you could have deciphered that already. I'm most looking foward to making (yes MAKING) my kids read the series. We will be a Harry family, you can count on it.
SPOILER ALERT! (jumps around but this is just how my brain is remembering it)
Loved the scene where Hermione and Harry danced. Totally needed that at that moment and it was super cute. Not in the book but it was a wonderful addition.
So upset they didn't show Luna's bedroom. Ugh. That was one of my favorite parts of the book and I was so excited to see it. I was hanging on right until the Lovegood house fell to see it but it never came :(
Not enough of the Order but I'll take what I can get.
Ginny...awkward...She asks Harry to zip her dress. It was just a mess.
The wedding was cute. I'm glad we finally got to meet Bill.
Moody :(
DOBBY. My baby. The whole theater went nuts when he first came on screen, it was incredible. He's so brave and also adds for comic relief that was needed. I wanted to crack up when he was on the chandelier but I knew what was coming so I couldn't. Dobby's death. Oh man. Clearly I was already crying because Hermione was just being tortured but this definitely brought more tears. I cried way more in the book but it was so emotional to see it on screen.
LOVED the seven potters scene. Perfect.
They did George's ear loss perfectly too.
Hedwig! Hedwig. She's always been there for Harry and I kind of felt her death was a bit overlooked. But it was nice that she died trying to protect Harry rather than in a cage like the book.
The scene at the Ministry of Magic was sooo well done. The actor's who played the Trio playing the Minstry workers (got that?) were perfect. The awkward Harry movements were perfect. Ron worrying about his "wife" killed me, I believe he does that in the book too.
Also upset one of my favorite lines was screwed up :/ Ron returns using the deluminator and he says "I guess Dumbledore always knew I'd leave" and Harry says something like "No, he always knew you'd come back". Instead Ron just said it in a jumble of words.
The Three Brothers Scene. Completely different from anything else. I wasn't too sure about it when I saw it but now thinking about it I think I liked it. It depicted the story very well.
DRACO was awesome. You can clearly see that he was indifferent about the situation he was in. He was disturbed that one of the teachers from Hogwarts was killed right in front of his face and he didn't give Harry away to Bellatrix when he obviously knew it was him. I secretly love Draco, his character is amazing and so troubled.
Loved Hermione and Ron's relationship. True love.
The scence where Ron destroys the locket was crazzzzyy. They portrayed that so well and the silver doe scene leading up to it.
Hmm I guess that's it? I'm seeing it again tomorrow so I may add more. JULY 15 HURRY UP PLEASE. But don't :/
