Harry Fucking Potter!

Oh my god, they seriously can't make a bad Harry Potter movie! This movie is so awesome. So, we went to see Harry at the Alamo Drafthouse, which is the greatest movie theater on the planet! We got there when the doors were supposed to open, yet the theater was already full...wierd huh? lol So we were pretty close up front, but it was fine. Before the movie they showed random clips, including a bizarre interprative dance film, he-man, super chicken, fantasia, and then bizarre low budget witch films. Interspersed was Harry Potter trivia, both on screen and as a contest. The approx 10 year old girl just kicked everyone's ass, she knew stuff that no one should know lol

As always we ordered chips and queso, because it's damn good. We also ordered a non-alcoholic butterbeer, because quite simply, it's a must try. Apparently everyone agreed because they got very backed up. But when you have 6 theaters showing Harry Potter, that's a lot of butterbeers to make! By the way, it's pretty good. It's a spiced sweet drink, and the only thing that threw me off was the carbination. Carrie liked it quite a lot also.

The movie...just awesome. The dragons were great, and the elements at school we really nice. Snape smacked the kids up a bit, which was hilarious, and the growing tension between hermione and ron worked well. Oh, and before I forget, the quidditch world cup...I couldn't stop smiling. I mean, ear to ear grin! It's as if you're there, even though it's just a movie. So amazing! And so much of it was as I imagined, or pretty close. They did a great job. I even shed a tear in the end when Harry is crying over Cedric's body. He's really growing as an actor, which is good.

Now if only I had the money to buy tshirts! Lol, they have the coolest glow-in-the-dark dark mark tshirt, and it's badass. They also have one that just says "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good" and "Republicans for Voldemort" hahaha! Though I probably would get the cute red shirt with a simple drawing of harry.

So yeah, obviously, this is an awesome movie. And yes, it's very dark. But it's necessary, and really sets the tone. The lighthearted moments definately balance it out though. If there's any doubt in your mind about seeing this movie, it should be gone. Go see the movie! You won't regret it (but realize it's 2hrs 37 minutes so be prepared) :-)
