WE DID IT!! After waiting in line for 5.5 hours to see the movie...I saw it. We got in line around 6:30pm and already had about 50 people in front of us for the midnight showing!! We had a little drama because they split everyone into about 5 or 6 different theaters but when we all bought our tickets it didn't give us a choice so all of us ended up in the same theater except one of Kristy's law school friends...but we worked it out and she got to go in with us. Harry Potter super fans were in full force. People were dressed as the wizards, almost everyone had some kind of Harry Potter paraphernalia going on. People brought card tables, games, chairs...they were ordering pizza...the missionaries were even walking the line! One lady had a sorting hat and was going around "sorting" people into Hogwarts Houses and giving them little laminated cards for which house they were in.

They finally let us in around 11pm and we got the perfect seats that we wanted!! Yay! Marnie can put her feet up! :) The movie was really good. I think it was a better movie for those that have read the books than for those who haven't. Michelle (who hasn't read the books) said that there were a lot of parts that she felt weren't explained very well. I agree with her but I did really like it. I liked it better than the 4th anyway. I'll put a full review on my blog later today. But the movie sure did get me excited for the new book next week! Now I just have to re-read the 6th book before then! Wish me luck!

Here are some pictures of Kristy, her sister Mandy and Brooke waiting in line...as well as, the line.




Oh - also, Brent and Dave, sorry I didn't answer but I didn't want to hear about how you guys had already seen it...nice one. :)
