A bunch of kickball people decided to book one of the VIP rooms at the AMC theater to watch Harry Potter. We thought this might be a good way to get a bunch of people in a dark room to protect their dignity publicly tarnished for being a fan of the Harry Potter films/books. This was one of the best ideas ever. It’s like $5 per person more and you can bring snacks and talk all you want.
Anyway, the movie is, in my opinion, the best of the bunch so far. Although the first one is probably better since the whole landscape and scenario was totally new. It’s got tons of action, and really only one “come on!” moment when the music turns all sappy and Harry and Weasley’s sister get friendly. There were also only a couple of CGI moments that frustrated me, especially because I think they were scenes where you really could have shot them live. Harry goes back to school and is enrolled in a potions class and ends up with the text book owned by some half-blood prince. The text has all been hand corrected making all of Harry’s spells work splendidly. Malfoy continues to be a pain in the ass and there is some weirdness with Snape and Dumbledore. Don’t bother seeing it if you haven’t seen all 300 of the other ones. I really enjoyed it though. And watching the film in giant lounge chairs, without my shoes on, and eating someone else’s Fritos, made the film that much more enjoyable.
[Note: The people I was watching with REALLY loudly exclaimed “THAT’s not in the book!” during one 3 minute scene. You know what? I liked the scene because it reminded me of Children of the Corn. So when you get to that part, shut yer hole and let people watch the movie.”]
