Meh, I didn't like it much. I thought it was ultimately a bad movie, regardless of how close it came to the book.

And the dance scene made me lul, even if it were completely out-of-character and not making sense.

I'm going to see the movie next week - looking forward to it. :)

Haha my school had that too, but only for Years 12 and 13; someone got a Voldemort mask and wore a white swimming cap over their hair, and there were quite a few dementors and death eaters floating about. They also did stuff like change the Chemistry room signs to "Potions", History classrooms to "History of Magic", Maths to "Arithmancy" and...well, you get the picture.

I didn't *find* out about the day until I got to school or I would have been more prepared and worn a Slytherin scarf or something. The homemade dark mark was an epic idea; I just ended up scrawling "GOYLE RULES" on my arm. On another note: if the turban-guy at your school had sneezed during an assembly, I might actually die of laughter. xD

Now I've spoiled myself so much . But spoilers are so tempting... 8D

Dobby . I was told his movie death was more touching than his book death

I honestly don't remember the details, so I'll have to read the book again. Meh. It's way easier to forget about it than to forget 'bout BT.

No, I don't think so. His book death was way more touching.

Also, did y'all see the names of the producers in the end? JKR's name was mentioned there.

It was hilarious! There was even a girl dressed up as a dementor, and apparently the chemistry classes that day were also changed to "potions class" as well. There were two other people that had homemade dark marks as well, and I saw a person who drew an actual dark mark on their arm, which was pretty sweet. Unfortunately, there wasn't any assembly that day for Quirrel to sneeze in, but there was a sneeze in the middle of orchestra when our teacher was talking, which is close enough.

@Airey: Just be glad you're not in my school during Saint Patrick's day. We have a teacher who plays bagpipes in between classes in the hallway on that day. I'm being perfectly serious here with that statement.

Speakin' 'bout Harry Potter,
We are watching Percy Jackson at school.

Want to watch that. A little. The books were okay.

YMMV if you watch it, but I think it's pretty mleh. Nothing special.

Saw The Social Network.
Awesome movie!

I have not been able to see any movies in weeks because there's not a whole lot out at the moment, but Voyage of the Dawn Treader is out soon, so yay. Also may get dragged out to see Tangled by friends, I was not a whole lot interested in the beginning, but it is getting pretty good reviews so whatever.

Anyway, this leads into some very vague movie news that I discovered reccently and if anything else comes out of it, it will make my decade. Basically, it looks like Disney has acquired the rights to Terry Pratchett's Mort a few months ago and are considering a 2D movie. Which would be so unbelievably awesome. :D

Finally got to see Harry Potter 7!
And I have to say... It wasn't that bad. I expected it to be worse. But, then again, I'm really picky when it comes to details, and I couldn't help to compare the film to the book.
Although I have to say that the animation for the tale was really awesome.
The dance scene? xD.

The animation was just gorgeous.

The only thing, thinking about it, that really bothered me with the movie when I was watching it (and I'm the opposite w/book movies, if it's a good movie it could be as unfaithful as it likes, IMO), was the lack of any explanations regarding the horcruxes, and I'm not sure how they're going to squeeze that in there without it looking dumb.

Anybody going to see Dawn Treader? I don't think I'll have the time before it's gone.

I'm watching Alexander in History classes.
Ohyes, Yaoi

Wanna see Dawn Treader. But yeah, time :/

Reviews said Dawn Treader was boring. I want to watch Gulliver's Travels whenever it comes out

I want to see Tron Legacy...

QFT. Might tonight.

Freaking pretty. Intensely pretty. But the plot sucked. Badly sucked.

YET STILL SO PRETTY SQUEE

Eh, it's Tron, it's always been about the pretties not the plot. (And, in this case, the soundtrack. Mmm, Daft Punk.)
Still haven't seen it myself. =(

Not seeing the new Tron 'till I've seen the original. Which at this rate, may happen pretty soon; my brother's been obsessed with seeing them since our trip, he even bought a Tron Legacy sweater.

Saw Megamind, at Disneyworld of all places, muahaha. It was a pretty fun movie, orders of magnitude better than the trailers would suggest.

Oh gawd, the soundtrack's amazing. Been listening to it while making biscotti all day.
