12:01 Showing of Harry Potter

July 15, 2009

I went to the 12:01 showing of the Half Blood Prince last night…or early this morning. My friends and I went to Tyson’s round 7pm to eat dinner at TGI Fridays and then got in line around 8pm. All around us were kids and adults dressed up in costumes and graduation gowns. They let us in around 9:30 to the movie theater. As far as I know they used 2 theaters to show the Half Blood Prince. As we sat in the nice comfy chairs of theater 11, a line formed again to get in, this time it went all the way down the escalators!

There was some concern in our theater because the screen was blue, and we heard sound that went to commercials and behind the scene footage, and yet we couldn’t see anything. In the mean while, some kids were doing shadow puppets on the screen so every one in the theater had something to watch.

Finally they fixed the screen, and the crowd cheered as the movie came onto the screen. I’m not going to ruin the movie for those of you who haven’t read the book, but there was laughing, and crying, and really awkward teen moments throughout the entire movie. I highly recommend seeing it if you haven’t already!

this is part of the line I had to stand in to get into Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
