We saw it for a fourth time last night at the drive-in. Shrek 2 played first, then HPIII.

We did bring with us chocolate bars (Hershey's plain big-size) for dementor scenes, a flashlight (which I only let my dd shine it on the car floor so it wouldn't bother the other movie goers), a make-shift wand (I forgot it before I went to work, so dd used a long Slim Jim I quickly picked up at 7-11 on the way to the show), but now dd wants to find a toy frog that croaks.
