in on Friday and going to see it by myself at the 10AM showing.  My 
husband would KILL me if he ever found out, but I'm really worried 
about seeing it the first time with people who have read the books.  
I think that there is a *very* strong possibility that I'll talk the 
entire time.

Oh, resist the temptation!  I know exactly how you feel, but your 
students need you!

You know, I'm not so sure that I want to see the movie on the 16th 
anymore.  And I haven't entered any of the 1001 contests around here 
for the previews.  (Yes, I am slightly insane.)  There's no time like 
the first time IMHO--once you've seen the movie, you can't unsee it 
and go through the awe and wonder of seeing it for the first time.  
In nearly two years of fandom, there's been nothing quite like 
discovering the books all in one winter's weekend and *certainly* 
nothing like that enchanted July 2000 week I spent reading GoF and at 
the end of it finding grownups online who loved HP as much as I did.  
Yes, fandom is fun, but there is nothing quite like innocence and 
discovery.  (Hmm--guess that's why I teach, huh?  ;-))  

Eight days and three hours from now I'll be sitting in the theatre 
anyway.  Nine days from now I'll be wanting Book 5 more than ever... 
because it'll be the Next Big Thing to look forward to.  Know what I 
mean?
