yeah!!!! it's harry potter day!!!



today is the day! well, last night at midnight was actually the day. i have had this premiere on my calender for months. ok, yeah, i'm a big fat nerd. but i don't care.

i was very lucky to have been in London for the premiere of the first harry potter film. and i actually was in a preview audience for it. i was killing some time before i had to be at the theatre that night for a show that i was stage managing and happened across a bunch of people in line at the cinema. "what are you waiting for?" i asked. "harry potter." now as a huge fan of the books i got in line as well and enjoyed the film completely. so when i got to the theatre that night, i was the most popular girl in school because i got to see the movie before anyone else.

now, i have gone to every film opening at the midnight showing until this one. i foolishly didn't take off work and had to be there this moring. but after work... i am totally going. Order of the Phoenix is one of my favorite books (i even have my hardcover autographed by the illustrator.) so i have had some high expectations for this movie. plus Sirius Black is one of my very favorite characters, played by one of my very favorite actors -- gary oldman. he's my movie boyfriend. i really don't want to see my movie boyfriend die in yet another movie. Gary Oldman, please for the love of god, pick a role that doesn't lead to the charactors untimely death. Just once, Gary, i want to see you live! that is all i ask. in rosencrantz you were hung; in 5th element you were blown up; in imortal beloved you died within the 1st five minutes (although the whole film was a memory film), in dracula you were stabed by a bad actress through the heart; and now with sirius you're gonna fall through some mysterious whispering vail. my heart can't take much more. i know that i will cry, so i plan to wear my waterproof mascara. p.s. gary oldman, you look uuber hot with those tattoos on your chest as Sirius.

yes. i will also be attending the harry potter party for the next book but i shall blog on the book later.

But Gary is, well, Old Man! He's old! With his old ... balls! Gross!

But if you get an old man ... well, I guess I'll go with Fiona Shaw as my Harry Potter movie girlfriend. Just because she's as old as Gary. Though Natalia Tena is certainly hotter and more age-appropriate. So let's switch to her.

Oh, and Emma Watson is almost 18 and a hockey lover, so maybe there's something there ...
