Suzanne...

There are three main movie sites where you can buy tickets online.  

http://www.moviefone.com

http://www.fandango.com

http://www.movietickets.com

Go to one of these (personally, I'm finding the most luck through 
www.movietickets.com, but it's a matter of personal taste...), 
type in your zip code, and check to see if they have any affiliated
movie theaters in your area.

>From there, see if they have November 16th (or whatever date you 
want to see the movie) available yet, and go from there.  Not all 
theaters have posted showtimes this far in advance yet, so you may 
not be able to buy them online yet.

In any case, once they've posted showtimes and they allow you to 
purchase tickets, it's just like buying anything else online.  You 
type in your cc number, they reserve a "seat" for you (obviously, 
not a specific seat... hehehe), and they let you print out your 
ticket(s).  Depending on the site, they may tell you to bring your 
credit card to the theater with you when you bring your print-out 
tickets... to make sure that you were the one who actually bought 
them, and so on... even if they don't ask you to, I'm sure it would 
be a good idea.

Hope that helps... if you need any more specific information, email 
me off-list... jenp_97 @ yahoo . com

Jen (who is waiting for HPfGU members to decide on showtimes so that 
she can buy HER tickets online... HURRY UP!!!)
