Thanks for the heads up, Jocelyn. I boo hoooooooed through the last book, so I'll probably flood the movie theater. I'm going tonight so I'll take a new Kleenex box with me!

Loved it!! Can't wait to part 2.

Have a few more days to wait - my sisters and I planned to go see it together when we celebrate Thanksgiving next week, so depending on which day we go, I have anywhere from 5 to 8 days until I see it

It's fitting - saw the first one with my youngest sister, so we've built up to all four of us going together (maybe other family members, who knows). Thanks for the heads up for the kleenex, I'll make sure I'm prepared

The kids and I enjoyed it. In fact, I daresay it was better than I expected. I didn't cry.

I really liked the first part, but I really wish they had put more in it because they're going to have to fit so much into the next part! That's really my only complaint.
Oh, and that I can't re-read them until next week when I finally go back home.

Saw it last night...GREAT movie!! I love watching the relationships with the characters develop (Ron and Hermione..so cute!!). Cant wait for part 2!!!!!

Just got back from the movie...couple of thoughts:

1. The people on both sides of me fell asleep, why go see a movie and fall asleep, you can sleep at home for free?
2. I laughed at the Harry/Hermione locket part in the vision, they took that a step deeper than I expected lol.

Other than that, GREAT movie!

I'm a movie theater sleeper. It's a horrible affliction. I didn't completely fall asleep during this one, thank goodness, but I dozed during the "boring" parts, mostly when they were in the woods. I could hear everything that was going on though and then would open my eyes when I needed to. This doesn't happen if I go to an early movie or if I've had enough sleep but I've rarely had enough sleep. Put me in a dark space, in a comfortable chair and, well, I fall asleep, especially on a Friday night (when I took the kids).

I know, after a long day, it's hard to stay awake, no matter how good a movie may be. There were some slow parts for sure. As a good friend said when I told her, maybe they were stupified LOL!

Just saw it...I have to say, after hearing nothing but AMAZING things about the movie, I'm slightly disappointed. For me, it didn't live up to all the hype I heard. If I hadn't heard all the positive reviews, I may have liked it more. I think I just need to see part 1 and 2 together to really enjoy it...part 1 just didn't give enough story for me.

DrPhil · #11 11-21-2010, 04:23 PM

I'm not a Harry Potter fan and have never seen an entire movie (I'm sure it's better than anything Twilight, though). The movies look great but I've never sat through one for whatever reasons. I still have two thoughts:

I considered seeing this but realized I'm not an HP fan. LOL. It was tempting and I'm sure my significant other will eventually Redbox it.

I'm amazed that there have been 7 films (right?) and that part 2 for this film comes out next year (right?). That makes 8 films. Wow. That's pretty darn good even if I'm not a fan.

My husband has never read the books, but I make him watch the movies with me. We will hopefully get to see it next weekend.

Saw it Friday. Enjoyed it. I LOVED how they did the story of the three brothers. Gorgeous and very arresting.

I honestly do not understand how anyone can see the movies without reading the books. There's NO explanation of motivation or connecting the action, or how decisions are made. There's just a scene, and then Harry says, now let's do this, and then another scene. The pacing is frenetic (except when it's slow and boring, although to be fair, the camping scenes in the book were boring too).

I don't think I would like or be able to follow the movies at all if I hadn't read the books. I really don't like any of the movies, I just go see them because I love the books so much.

Agreed 110% (about the three brothers part too--that was my favorite part of the movie!)

I was exactly the same way. My fiance dressed up for Harry Potter for our sophomore year Halloween (2007). I was all

and "what a nerd". By the end of our junior year he was finally able to convince me to try to read the first book. I started the series last May and finished in Nov/Dec. I LOVE it now and wish I would have given it a chance sooner...

I saw it Friday and loved it. I haven't read any of the books. I was lost in some parts but I had my sister in law to explain it to me. My attention span is too short to read the books. One day maybe.
