[HPFGU-Movie] Guess what I saw today?!!!!!

[Martina]

We went to see Shrek 2 this afternoon at Park Mall Theaters in Tucson, AZ - and what did I see as we walked up the stairs ... HP3 was playing in one of the theaters!! I had no idea it was playing today in Tucson or I would have tried to move heaven and earth to get in!  And then tonight I didn't realize that Dateline on NBC was a 2-hour deal and only set my VCR for the second hour which definitely did not have the HP section in it ... I am just bummed all around!

>Hey all!
>I went to visit the in-laws in Tucson this weekend and my sister-in-
>law asked if I wanted to take her 8 year old so she and her hubby 
>could pack for their camping trip and my two boys to see Harry 
>Potter - they had won 4 free passes on the radio last Thursday. So, 
>at 11:30 I headed to the theater with the three boys and their 
>gameboys to keep them occupied since it was a 2 pm show. We already 
>had like 30 people in front of us but it was worth the wait. It was 
>awesome. Alfonso is most definitely different than Chris. I love the 
>first two movies but I think I like Alfonso's style better so thank 
>you, Mr. Heyman for hiring him - you are definitely now my favorite 
>producer now. 
>I will try not spoil it for any of you but I will give you all one 
>piece of advice - go in thinking of seeing a great film about Harry 
>Potter and try not to compare it to the book like I kept doing 
>subconsciously - had to tell myself to stop it about half way 
>through - as there are LOADS of differences. Some good some well just 
>different. Seems to be a bit more than the first two films even but 
>still it was awesome - way better than the first two.  The dementors 
>were brilliant. Way scarier and more brilliantly done than the Ring 
>Wraiths if you ask me. I loved the punch scene - Go Hermione Go! The 
>Shrieking Shack scene and the time turner scenes were my favorites. 
>David Thewlis and Gary Oldman were brilliant as Remus and Sirius. 
>Remus seemed a little more like he is in book 5 - he was a very 
>comforting person. I know there has been loads of discussion about 
>Gary not being good looking enough for Sirius but he is Sirius and 
>you could still see a handsome man underneath his scruffy dirty 
>appearance. (Except his teeth - man needs a toothbrush big time 
>before I would kiss him).Timothy Spall as Pettigrew was really creepy 
>and rat like - perfect. The trio have definitely improved as actors. 
>Seemed to really act naturally this time around - nothing seemed 
>forced and they really seemed to BE Harry, Ron and Hermione. Still 
>cannot decide who Hermione likes. Michael Gambon makes a great 
>Dumbledore - funny, a strong presence and full of great wisdom and 
>understanding but yes is different than Richard Harris who was 
>Dumbledore as I had envisioned him when reading the books. I had one 
>minor disappointment but if I say anything now it will spoil it for 
>everyone so suffice it to say it is a small thing relating to the map 
>and after everyone sees it we can decide if it really is an important 
>thing or not. I am sure it will come up on this list anyway. And yes 
>I will honestly say I do still plan to see it again on the 4th. (and 
>maybe a few more times after that). Anyway, hope this didn't spoil 
>anything for you all, I was just so excited about seeing it, I had to 
>let everyone know it is absolutely brilliant.
