The Chosen One

I am finally posting about the greatest movie of the year. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was incredible. The whole movie was hilarious and I was impressed with how well they followed the book. They, of course, left a lot out but considering how long the book is, they did a great job. I was sad they left the battle of Hogwarts out because that was a really good part of the book. But I read somewhere that they did that because there is a battle at Hogwarts in the 7th movie that is bigger and better so I'm just happy they will be including it in the next movie. Dan and I are such huge nerds when it comes to Harry Potter. It is sort of how we got together. When I met him for the first time he said something about being more magical then me and I challenged him to a duel telling him I knew way more spells than him. (yeah... real nerdy... i know!) but because of that he asked me out and we fell madly in love. ;) but we took 3 days of work and school off and went down to Utah to go to the midnight premiere with my family. Luckily they are a bunch of nerds too so it was a blast. Dan and I went as Ron and Hermione. I sewed that 'R' on Ron's sweater for him. It took freakin forever too! But it was a hit. At the theater a girl came up to him and just hugged him to death. She was in love with his costume she couldn't contain it. And then we were walking into our theater and a guy told Dan that he seriously loved him so much. It was hilarious. and awesome.full of magic
Nymphadora Tonks
Potter Geeks!This is a close up of what my brothers shirt said. He even had some girls stop him and tell him they did fancy a snog... nice. Cousins! Potter Geek, Harry himself, and Hermione. Also, I am incredibly jealous of them becuse they have legit, for real, Gryffindor robes, ties and all that.The whole gang! Ron, Hermione, Tay, Tonks, Erin, Nick, Hermione, Harry, Diane, and the baby witch Kaitlyn!The theatre was decked out as Hogsmeade! It was awesome. We bought a Gryffindor banner to hang up in our house. annnd Stephanie and Jake (Hermione and Harry) brought every flavor beans, blood suckers, and lighting bolt scar tatoos for everyone. Best night ever!My cousin Kallie even came with us! Girls Rule.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! I am OBSESSED! I love the wig, I just love it. I sincerely wish I had seen this in person...is it possible that when we get together next we have a HP party. Like a PARTY, including costumes, games, contests, treats, and watching at least one of the movies.

I feel quite good about this.

That's so cute Allyx! Ben and I also bonded over Harry Potter! We worked together and our first date was baking cookies (as a reward for him reading chapter 1 in Sorcerer's Stone... it was my ploy to suck him in!) and talking HP all night! :)

Glad you loved the movie, so did I! I think I was saddest about the no funeral for Dumbledore :`( I guess the wands up in the air was cool and all, but I was holding out for a bigger more majestic scene like in the book, you know with the Centaurs and Merpeople and Hagrid carrying him... *snif*
Oh wells... thats why the books will always be way better than the movies! :)
