Midnight Release

[mothwing]

Who else went to a midnight release?

I think I am going to get a decent night's sleep before I attempt to say anything about anything, though, I've only had two hours and am off to the last session of my course now.

All in all, I really liked it, but it was too fast-paced for me, and although I was happy because of the things that did end up in the movie of course I missed certain things although I realise that this film is not made for rabid fans, but for an US American, general audience. Who probably do not care too much about the correct characterisation of characters and a correct adaptation. I liked the filming, and loved seeing the characters again, although I sure as hell don't know if our uninitiated brethren out there are able to get anything without having read the books. Still, there were many things I loved.

All those dressed-up fans were extra entertainment, adorned with different scarves, moaning about different parts of the movie that were not up to their standards ("And Sirius was played by a different dog!!!"). No Slytherins about, though, only Gryffies and Ravies, curiously, and the things they cared for were not even on my list of potentially important things.

Ok, off now.

I guess I'm in the minority of Americans then. ;) Although it was abysmal, I didn't particularly think it was that great.

Check out TP.

I meant to say "wasn't" abysmal.

I definitely will! I figured I might as well ask here as well, because I was really interested in non-Pensieve replies, too, that's why I asked here first. :)

Glad you didn't think it was abysmal. And yay for American minorities. :)

Oh my God, why does the rest of the world have it before the UK? The only sources I can find say Friday here!

Anyway, I'm going with colleagues then.

I hope you'll have a great time! We were really lucky over here. It was Thursday at first, which is the usual day, and then suddenly, it was changed to Wednesday within a week. It was really strange.

I'm curious! Jacqui and I will go on Friday.

That's why we didn't see you two! I had been wondering. Have fun, you guys. :) I hope you'll love Lucius as much as we did. ♥ ♥

I'm like you. I liked it, but it felt a bit like fluff. Some things were spot on but a lot was so crammed, skimmed or skipped that I felt bothered.
