First off.

Apparently The Dark Knight Rises teaser will run a minute and a half in 3D, IMAX 3D, and 2D in front of Harry Potter!
Lies. Damned lies. I saw no DKR trailer. You crushed my dreams, Dan (that's two of my dreams you've crushed this week). Although it should be noted that the new Sherlock Holmes movie looks aaaaaaaaawesome.
Anyway, long story short. My old college roommate's work rented out a whole theater tonight to watch Harry Potter and he had an extra ticket. I showed up there at 7:00 pm, walked in, sat down and enjoyed the movie at 7:30 pm...and most importantly
not a single person was in a costume. The cool part was that just as the movie was beginning the manager came in and announced that they had loaded the wrong movie on the reel. It turns out that they loaded the 3D version...oops. So we got these.
My wife shouted, "You're a wizard, Harry!" right as she took this. I'm stifling laughter.
For something I got offered an hour before the movie and for free, this is by and far the coolest movie experience I've had ever...or at least this evening. Anyway, the movie was awesome. Extremely tense. The battle is great, the trimming was done well enough, Voldy
has the world's most awkward hug. I'd say more, but I hate when people say too much. Much better than Part 1 (which I really enjoyed despite most people acting like it was disappointing).
