Just got back from seeing Harry Potter Part Deux. We had quite the audience alongside us:
1. Zombie Dobby (Some girl wearing elf ears and a bag covered in blood stains)
2. Some dude with fairy wings
3. Loads of people wearing dress shirts under sweaters to mimic the school look, swinging wands around and screaming spells
4. Some teenager walking around holding three wands, asking what side we were on. He knighted anyone who said they were with the good guys. I said I was on Team Jacob. He didn't appreciate that.
5. By luck of the draw, the fucking potheads from my Transformers 3 outing landed into my theater. OUT OF 20 THEATERS, THEY FIND THEIR WAY INTO MINE.

The movie itself was rather well-done (save for the very, very end, but since that was also fucked in the book, I knew they would have to go through with it). Dan Rad got his chance to flex more of his acting muscles (with varying results), and Hans Gruber once again killed it as Professor Snape. Oh, and Helena Bonham Carter was Helena Bonham Carter. I can't even tell her characters apart anymore.

Overall, I'd recommend it to people who have watched Part 1. A fitting end to a great series... until Rowling releases Pottermore, and I end up buying every book again on eBook formats and re-reading them.

Also, I wanted to punch someone when everyone screamed "MISCHIEF MANAGED!" after the movie. I am a nerd, and I can accept nerdy things, but at 3 in the morning, surrounded by young adults screaming spells and waving wands in my face, even I have my limits.

Harry Protter and its "wandefoul" magic? For your god's sake I hope he/it will be given a merciful and eternal death and nobody will EVER hear about that shit again.....


*Yeah, I fucking hate Harry Protter....*

Being able to stomach that kind of fanbase is commendable. There is liking something and then there is unhealthy obsession.

Expecto-Weirdos! (or something like that) ;p

this is just so wrong and disturbing- seen a few of the movies at the cinema here in the UK but never seen anything as weird and strange as this.

People here don't like costume parties, I take it.

You know the fandom is bad when they'll let you split a story into halves and release said halves like a year apart. It's not like the LotR trilogy where they were originally a 3 books and the movie company just did a bit of rearranging to make it actually possible to follow the movies.

I guess you haven't heard about The Hobbit.

No, but if they're pulling that sort of dick move, the same assertion applies. It's not like people got all weird over the LotR trilogy...

So you now assert that the LotR fanbase is bad? Good to know.

No I assert that they're apparently just as liable to put up with this sort of BS. Which in retrospect shouldn't have been surprising given how much they've been drug through the dirt over the years as these things have been in development.

You said you were on Team Jacob! AHAHAHAHAAHA! I also agree with you about the nerd behaviour. There should be a limit. Swinging around a wand while screaming out spells in a movie theater is not just nerdy but also childish and annoying.

Was this the movie's first day on your country/region? If so, that was to be expected, really. Costume parties for big movies are pretty common on openings and pre-openings, even around here.

As for the film getting divided, I think it's better than cropping a whole book into a 2-hour movie. On some of them the story felt too rushed because the movie was way too short.

Part 1 had just the right pace, and is one of the best HP movies even while covering the shitty parts of maybe the worst book.

I absolutely loved the books, but never paid much attention to the films. I will probably get the blu-ray box collection when it comes out.
