Yup, John and I headed out to our local Regal, free movie passes in hand (yes!), to see one of the biggest blockbusters of my generation (well, aside from Titanic, maybe.) Even though it's only four days after its release into theaters I feel like we were late in seeing it. Everyone has been talking about this movie both in person and in the blogosphere, and for good reason- the movie kicks arse (as Harry might say)!
What a great ending to it all. I don't think I blinked the entire time. The ending was a complete surprise as I've never read the books...
I know, I know.
I won't give anything away too much in case there happens to be one lonely soul out there that's waited to see it longer than I have. What I will say is that my favorite part about the movie is the role Neville plays. Throughout the series he has held a special place in my heart, and I so enjoyed seeing him in action to fight the epic battle against evil! Rawr!
On another note, are we the only ones that bring homemade goodies to the theater as snacks? We hate paying for popcorn or candy, and honestly don't like eating candy any more as we've done a lot in our daily diet to reign in our sweet tooth. But last night I did cut up a couple pieces of this to smuggle (MUGGLE!) into the theater. I felt a little awkward busting out our Pyrex cups and clinking around with metal forks but the joy I felt in the midst of my consumer anarchy made up for it!
How about you? Do you bring your own homemade snacks into the theater?
You haven't read the books? Oh my goodness you need to read them soon, they are SO good
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the last couple of movies so i'm definitely going to need to have a harry potter-athon before i see it!
And yes, i totally sneak in ziploc bags full of healthy and sometimes unhealthy snacks, i usually wait till the lights go down to avoid awkward looks from people in the seats around us :o)
Donna- Since I'm not ready to say goodbye to Harry Potter, I'm actually going to start reading the books now. Can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteI read all the books and i have seen the last movie the firs day it's comin out!
ReplyDeleteYes, i'm a big fan of HP saga, i fell like it's grown up with me!
I'ts really the end of an era!

Ah! I haven't seen it yet!! My family (sister, her hubs and my dad) plus lots of my friends are big fans, but not my hubby. So, I have not yet seen it. I didn't see part 1 until it had come out on DVD! But, I will try not to let that happen again.
ReplyDeleteI hate paying for food at the theaters, but I swear I read something about how it's not "ethical" because they have to price it so high for some dumb reason, but we usually do eat at the theater anyway. If we bring something it's candy I have in house or pop/water bottles. Sometimes we go pick up candy to eat at the theater!! But I DO love their popcorn, no substitute for that!!!
im heading to see it tomorrow with my hub!
ReplyDeleteI just blogged about this too! I love, Love, LOVED the movie! I almost always stick a little snack or something in my bag when we go to the movies...I thought everyone did this. Well, if not, they should. ☺
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie yet...so don't worry... ;) And well, as it looks like I might not watch it at all. I know, HORRIBLE!! However, I missed *yes I admit that* the last two movies so I don't want to watch the last one now and get confused. And yes...shocker...I missed those. :((( However, I now I'll be owning the whole DVD collection anyways so it's okay. ;) HAHAHA. A movie marathon...best thing ever!!!

I've not read the books or seen the films as wizards annoy me. They look like hobos, talk gibberish and get out of any problems by always knowing some handy spell and waving their wands about. You are right to take your own snacks to the cinema, why not go the whole way and take a picnic?
ReplyDeleteLol, Kyle gets so embarassed because I will totally shove an entire dinner for the two of us into my purse. It's not necessarily homemade but I just don't want to spend $20 on two hotdogs and a soda so I like to smuggle burritos or burgers in. We get weird looks from other people in the audience sometimes but it's totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteI never read the books and *gasp* I might be the last person on this planet who did not watch the movie yet but once the crowd lessen, I might go and watch it.
ReplyDeleteI usually eat before I go to the movies because I hate eating theatre food. The popcorn is sooo greasy!
sorry to say, but I never really got into the series, perhaps that is bc I didn't read them. I do however want to watch the series and check it out. But I am a loud and Proud TWIHARD. hahahha
ReplyDelete"consumer anarchy" -- I love it ;D I do that too.... Also, I haven't seen the movie yet. *gasp*
ReplyDeleteI almost always bring my own snacks! I don't think I've tried eating a slice of cake lol but i have shelled pistachios in the theater.
ReplyDeleteI was able to smuggle a 1 liter bottle of soda and a large bag of kettle corn popcorn when we went and saw HP. It was $4 compared to like $12 :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I haven't read any of the books and the only reason I've seen the film is because of my son... We did go on Monday (said son's birthday) and I have to admit that we went all the way with popcorn, drinks etc... shame on me ;-) xo
ReplyDeleteOne time my friend snuck a whole Cafe Rio burrito into the theater! I still can't believe she got away with it... but it was a great story:)
ReplyDeleteI need to start bringing homemade snacks, that is such a great idea! We never buy stuff from the theater either because it is so expensive.
Love that you brought in some of your yummy cake!
I still need to catch up on the other HP movies!
ReplyDeleteI like comedies :) BAD TEACHER and HORRIBLE BOSSES were hillarious!

I can't believe you brought Pyrex cups and silverware into the theater - too funny! I LOVED the movie, and teared up several times throughout it. Luckily there were a lot of fellow snifflers around me, whew!
ReplyDeleteHaha. really need to get into Harry Potter. Ha. I'm missing the boat!

Man, I can't wait to see it! Love bringing my own snacks - especially booze :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any of the movies... I don't have any explanation other than I have only read 3.5 of the books, but I need to read them... I just want to have a life and I know if I start reading and watching, I won't!
ReplyDeleteOf course I bring in my own can of Diet DP and popcorn baggie, haha. Not paying 8 dollars for a soda. Wasn't the movie awesome?!? I loved it, thought it was sooo good!
ReplyDelete*raises hand slowly* I've not seen it yet. I don't even know if it's playing over here yet and, if it is, an English version would be a bit far away. I've also not read the books so you're not alone in that one either, ha!
ReplyDeleteI've never brought my own food to the cinema, but I like the idea!
I feel like everyone's seen this but me! I have got to make some time for it asap!
ReplyDeletehaha, i am that lonely soul!
ReplyDeletebesides the fact that it hasn't come out here yet :(
ReplyDeleteI haven't see it yet...Not sure when I'll get around it but I'm sure I need to re-watch all the movies...I can't really remember any of it! Have a great weekend Hannah see you when I get back next week! xoxoxo
ReplyDeletei never read the books either and i also loved neville's character! he's enduring, so was that cardigan he was wearing.
ReplyDeletei've never taken homemade treats into the theatre, in college we used to smuggle wendy's jr bacon cheese burgers and frosties into the movies
The books are SO good - I'm glad you're going to read them!! And how awesome that you could see HP with free tickets! I love bringing my own snacks to the theatre. I hate paying for the over-priced stuff they have there! I like bring baked goods or even candy from home. When my sister was in college, she and a friend brought their own snacks in the theatre and a cop/security guy chased them down! Since then I've been a little nervous but do it anyway :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I loved the last movie - soo good!
ReplyDeleteI always bring my own water to the theatre, and sometimes a snack. I think it's hilarious though that you packed up some cake - too cute =)
I always pack healthy (well, healthier than the movie options) snacks!! Oh, and water too. I hate paying $6.00 for a bottle of water! I'm glad you had a wonderful time at the movie :)
ReplyDeleteOh Hannah I can't tell you how epic-ly sad I am that there are no more books or films! Am such a HP nerd. Neville in the book is even better!! Though I think that actor is marv. I once took pastries into a cinema :P
ReplyDelete<3
You're going to loooove the the books, Hannah! The movies have been incredibly well made, but there's just so much more depth to the books. I-- literally-- can't talk about the final book or movie without getting chills. Those "kids" go through so much, and there are so many lessons to be learned within the plot and themes. My husband also hasn't read the books, so he got to be surprised by all the movies. I think we may read them together now. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and we snuck in Twizzlers!
who cares how many days you waited until you saw it, you SAW it. it was amazing. i need to go again. there's no doubt. like today. i need to see it today.
