I saw the last Harry Potter movie yesterday…
And i have to say that was the longest drawn out movie I’ve ever seen in my life. Seriously. Does it really take 11 years to tell the story of a child trying to kill the bad guy who killed his parents? I THINK NOT!
Hah. That said, the final movie was pretty good. I think splitting the final book into two movies was a bit of a cheap money grab (Sort of like the whole 3D movie thing) but then again i’m not sure i would have wanted to sit through a four or five hour movie.
I remember seeing the first one in like… 2001 I think?. My friend Daniel and I went to see the movie around midnight one weekend. (Not opening night… To many screaming tweens) It also happened that a major winter storm was due to roll in that night. By our calculations we figured we’d be out of the movie and home before the storm actually hit. Aparently we miscalculated becuase when we got to the parking lot at around 2am we couldn’t see our hands in front of our face. It took us about 20 minutes to actually find our cars and then another two hours to scrape off the ice that had accumulated. The ice was so bad that for the first 30 minutes we couldn’t even get into our cars. All we had was Daniel’s pocket knife multi-tool. To make matters worse we didn’t have any gloves or heavy clothing either. It was a nightmare.
So yeah, that’s how i remember the first Harry Potter movie. A giant ice storm that almost killed me. :)
