Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

[JLuvs]

Went to the midnight showing in IMAX 3D. Well worth the extra money. I thought that is was totally fantastic and a worth end to the series. Bring the hankies as unless you have a heart of stone you will cry at least once. so many things that I loved, but Neville, Snape and magonagal got the best story arc conclusions.

I do not have a heart of stone, especially when it comes to the Potter series. I took a box of tissues and a plastic bag to use as a trash bag - thank goodness! Loved every minute of it. Going to see it again this afternoon with my hubby at a 3D theater. Also going to see it again on Monday morning at Graumann's in Hollywood. I've wanted to see a movie there ever doing a tour of the theater last year. Can't think of a bitter movie to see than this one!

Correction: Of course, I mean BETTER in the last sentence above.

Regarding 2D vs 3D. The regular 3D didn't add anything to my enjoyment of the movie, although it did lighten my wallet a bit more. Didn't hate it - just didn't love it, and the previews of upcoming movies in 3D were so intense they gave me a headache. Having said that, though, I will probably see HP at the IMAX this week. One feels so totally immersed in a movie in IMAX. And I love all things Potter.

So I guess that it will be a good idea to next week to see the movie. It looks like the fanatics will have all the theaters tied up this weekend.

Hey! I resemble that remark!!!

Actually neither of the theaters I went to was near full (one at 9:30 am, one at 4:30 pm on Friday); more like half to 2/3. I couldn't believe that folks in our area were lined up at 3:00 am on Thursday for the midnight special showing that would start 21 hours later. Even a fanatic like me should have more sense than to spend a full day outside in Arizona in July.

Whenever you go see it . . . enjoy!

I went today and there was a lineup outside the theatre (it was the first showing of the day). The actual theatre was only about half-full though. Mind you, it was playing on multiple screens and some may have opted for the 3D version which started a bit later.
I did like the movie but there were a few occasions where I was all "No, that's not how that should happen" which drew me out of it. Maybe I was pickier because of the hype of it being the last one etc. I did feel a few scenes were too rushed particularly

. There were good scenes such as

. It was interesting that

I don't disagree with any of your points.

There were a lot of people going into our cineplex, but lots of them were going to see Winnie the Pooh.

Just curious how long we need to use the spoiler tags? Most of what I want to say must be in spoilers ...

Many of us have not seen the movie and probably will go when the crowds die down in a couple of weeks. So, please, please keep the spoilers up. Thanks much.

Oh, this movie is now the highest grossing movie ever. I think the figure is 92 million dollars opening night.

Saw this movie yesterday. Hadn't planned on seeing it but was on a "date" with hubby and must have read showtimes incorrectly. So we ended up seeing Harry Potter instead of what I had planned. It was playing in 3 theaters in the same cineplex so maybe that's why there was no line. It was in 3-D and altho interesting, I didn't feel it was necessary to enjoy it so you really don't need IMAX or 3-D.

I've never been a huge Harry Potter fan. Have enjoyed all the movies but just not that into them. But I must say, that this movie did an excellent job of tying up all the storylines. I tend to forget what all went on in previous films (in sequence) but this was executed wonderfully. Even forgetful-me was able to put all the pieces together. I'm glad it's the final movie because those kids sure did grow up!!
