I have a pair of tickets to see the midnight showing of HBP at the locally famous San Francisco Metreon.

Who else is going to brave going to work groggily the next day in order to be among the first to catch the film?

I am sooo jealous right now!! I live in PR and it doesn't come out here until July 23rd!!!! Needless to say I will definitely be one of the first in line to see it when it comes out.

Dear God, I only wish I could go to see the midnight premiere! Sadly, my parents won't let me be out that late, even during the summer! I'll try to go during a morning show on the 15th though.

If, for some odd reason, I don't watch it on the 15th, I won't even turn the computer on because I know I'll be tempted to read spoilers! >__<

I adore San Francisco as well. You see, my university was about 30 minutes North of the City, and where I live now is only 45 minutes south of SF (pending traffic on the freeways).

It's nice to live in a place where you don't have to pay $300/mo to park your car, yet can still visit San Francisco for the Clubs, Concerts, Japantown, North Beach, and other Special Events (ie catching HBP midnight showing!!!)

The last HP midnight showing I saw was the Prisoner of Azkaban with a lot of like 7 friends! I was having to take off clothes to reserve seats for them and began to run out of things I could take off in decency redface

When I went to the last Midnight Showing of a HP movie (as noted above) there were quite a few people dressed up. I have a bit of a predicament though. For halloween I actually Cosplayed as the Half-Blood Prince himself based on how he looked in the memory from OOTP. From the shoes, socks, trousers, house scarf and white shirt, house tie and house robe, and I even got my hair cut to match the actor's!

Now my hair is grown out and lighter and I have no desire to be prancing around in Slytherin garb (The only Slytherins I like are Snape... okay I adore Snape... and Horace Slughorn who's not evil, he just likes to 'collect' the top student's - Hogwart's "Best", and he's not judgemental if they're from Muggle families, and not necissarily impressed if they're from a Wizarding line (to Draco's dismay)).

I will probably bring my Noble Collection wand that "Lumos"es on a flick.

I want to go so badly, but I need a parental escort, and my parents both work the next day...so I can't go... sad .

I couldn't even go to Barnes & Noble's midnight party thingie for the release of Deathly Hallows...but I did get stuff for preordering it, so it's all good.

But I'm hoping we can go see the movie at the IMAX. That would be so much better then those stupid educational movies they showed us when we were on class trips to the museum.

I'm going to the midnight showing of HBP. My BFF's b-day (she's in Hufflepuff) is right around the time that it comes, so her parents said that she could invite a few people to see it at midnight with her, and I get to go. I'm totally going to dress up for the movie!

But I don't have to get up for work that day since I'm only 15. I have to get for tennis camp.

Well, I don't have a job yet and it's summer, so no school...
so, why not go to the midnight show!?

My friend is pre-ordering tix once we know exactly how many people are going with us.

Though they're apprently not playing it in IMAX till the 28th. The only IMAX showing on the 15th is in NY & LA.

I've never seen a midnight showing of Harry Potter! I was at the midnight book sale of the 7th book though!

According to the TV ads the "3D IMAX" has special (extra) scenes, so when it does hit IMAX, if it's the 3D version, I might watch it twice.

I have to get up to work the next morning. I teach lego robotics and video game design camp. I hope I'll be in such a good mood that I can hang onto that to push through my fatigue (plus Energy Potions, those things are lifesavers!)

Extra scenes? Awesome.

Did anyone know the movie is 2 hours and 33 minutes. Tehe, hopefully that's a good thing. I now have my tickets. Yay! I'm so excited. It's creeping closely upon us! biggrin

I was listening to the radio and they said that HP presales were 60% more then Transformers (Which I guess had a ton of presales for HP to be compared to it.) and they expect just by presale ticket records, this will be the biggest movie yet smile .

...So not fair.

The Harry Potter movie doesn't premier here untill two days after the premier in the US. And the movie goes two times a day at the cinema here. At least some movies do...

Most likely there'll be one at 17:00 and one at 21:00. That's very typical...

And they haven't started selling tickets yet. We have to preorder the ticket on the same day.

So not fair. It is really unfair.

Wish I was in Oslo at that time... They have a new high-technological cinema there. And they've dropped chairs, they go for sofas.

You Americans get it all when it comes to movies and entertainment, don't you? razz
