Just thought I'd share some of the moments from my first, and so far
only, viewing of POA. I went with my best friends who'd just had an
exam, and I was also at the university trying to get some of my marks
signed. So we decided that after we were done with the
administration, we'd go straight to the cinema. And so it happened
that on a Friday morning, we sat down with about 101 kids and a
couple of teenagers to watch the show. The funny thing about going to
the cinema with kids is that they COMMENT. Man has not yet invented a
way of stopping them doing that. I became reconciled with the
situation and decided to enjoy their remarks. And lo.

The first surprise was when Harry set off from Privet Drive not only
without Hedwig, but without even Hedwig's cage. The audience erupted.
WHERE'S HEDWIG?, came the indignant cries from all over. Whispered
answers of "must be off hunting" would not do: WHERE'S THE CAGE?
demanded the kids. They soon got over the shock, however.

The biggest fun came when Hagrid said that Buckbeak was going to be
killed. His hair changed colour the moment he said it, from black to
brown, due to the ratty copy of the film that the cinema was using.
This only added to the pandemonium that followed. Some people thought
a crying Hagrid was impossibly funny. They started giggling. Then
came prompt hisses from the others: "This is not funny!". More
giggling. By that time, it was, irrevocably, extremely funny. It was
like a house party, with everyone munching crisps in front of the
television. We were all friends. The more people said it was not
funny, the funnier it got. I was ashamed of myself for laughing, but
I couldn't stop. 

We all stayed to watch the credits, and lots of people noticed the
(supposedly) snogging couple on the map. Ooooooooh, they cried,
oooooh, look at them! You would have thought they were showing
explicit sex-material, instead of a pair of footprints shuffling in
front of each other.

It was a riot. :) But I think my next viewing will be in the evening.
Also I plan to watch the original, English version. It's just that I
love Hermione's dubbing voice so much. She's a girl called Luca
Szabó, and she's a totally brilliant actress. Harry's voice is also
one of my favourites. His voice deepened for this film, while Daniel
Radcliffe's was already deep for Chamber of Secrets - so back then it
was funny, cause in one language it was a little squeaky boy's voice
that he had, and in the other, a deep voice. :)

Love, Alice
