Harry Potter..who's going?

[BrattyMeg]

my oldest 2 and I hope to see it this weekend sometime. We were going to go on Thanksgiving but some plans changed and my little ones are too young for it so we'll be seeing something else.

Who else is going?

[KyRainbow]

C and I are going on Sunday. I already have our tickets.

[knlchevys]

So how old of kids are you taking? My DS has seen the others on tv but I think he saw the last one on video. I'm wondering about this one though with a sex scene! Don't want to explain stuff already.

[HeatherKS]

We're planning to go sometime this weekend. I was hoping for Saturday night but now it looks like it may be Sunday night instead. I can't wait!!!

[Julie Billingsley]

I think this is the first one I didn't go to the premier. :( I always go with Jacob and since he is at college, I don't have my movie buddy. Hoping it works out to go over Thanksgiving weekend when he is home from school.

And sex scene?! That wasn't in the book!

[Leila]

From what I've heard, it's not a sex scene.

Andrew wants to see the movie with his dad (they've seen all the others together), so he's going to wait until we can visit. The boys won't see this for quite some time. They're just not old/mature enough for it.

[maryinaz]

My son is sitting at the theater now waiting for the midnight showing - He's been there since 9pm. I'm going in the morning. By myself. My little guys aren't into it and none of my friends like it, so I have no one else to go with. I'm actually looking forward to going alone. ;)

[KyRainbow]

My dd is 12, she's read all the books, and seen all the movies thus far. I was going to take her to the midnight showing tonight, but the tickets sold out in like an hour. O_o

[CA Dreamer]

We'll be going sometime next week. My sons and I are catching up on the movies to get ready. Watched 3 and 4 tonight.... so excited.

[TanyaH666]

eeee! i am going to see it in the morning, i can't wait!!!!

[Julie Billingsley]

Hey if anyone sees it, could you let me know about what scene the movie leaves off with? I want to listen to the audio book up to the point of where the movie breaks off. Thanks!

[Darcy Baldwin]

We'll be trying to fit it in sometime this coming week when we have a built-in babysitter for the little dude. I can't wait! This will be Connor's first time to get to see a Potter movie at the theater and he's beyond excited!

[Lizzy257]

Me, me, me!! We're going tonight (that's this afternoon to most of you :D). Can't wait. I'm counting down the hours, lol.

[*Celeste*]

ds (9) and i will be going next weekend when the brou ha ha dies down.

[emmasmommy]

we probably will wait until it comes out on video. definitely want to go, but i don't do crowds :/

[MissKim]

I want to see it, but I hate crowds, so we may wait until closer to Christmas and let the crowds die a bit. There's never been a movie I've wanted to see so bad I'll do the midnight showing. I just don't think I could even enjoy it.

[nikkiARNGwife]

We'll be going next week sometime...we like to wait til the crowds die down some lol

[NeverendingJen]

I'll be going in december once the crowds have died down

[g8rbeckie]

I'm going!! By myself most likely, LOL! I'll be at my parents' house so they can watch my kids. I'll get to just sit PEACEFULLY, no bathroom trips, no arguing :)

I am sooooo excited! I love Harry Potter :) J.K Rowling deserves every penny she's earned!

[Gabbina]

I've been yesterday to some HP-marathon-movie-kind, they had the other 6 movies in a row at the theater in 2 days. I've seen just the "Half Blood Prince" one, anyway. I'm going next week with my bf and my lil sister. And I got to say I'm pretty excited lol :thumbup:

[mummytothree]

We'll be waiting till it come to video!!! I'm to cheap to get a babysitter for 5 kids and I'm to poor to take 7 people to the movie theater!!! :D :D

[crecia27]

We are going tomorrow night, already have the tickets. I heard great reviews on the radio this morning from people who saw it this morning.

[SmallFry73]

Jaimie(strawberryredhead) and I are going to see it on IMAX tonight! Can't wait!!

[LoriJ]

Dh and I will be going next week sometime. I can't wait!

[strawberryredhead]

Jaimie(strawberryredhead) and I are going to see it on IMAX tonight! Can't wait!!

Can't wait!

[Andrea Gourley]

We'll be going but will give the crush time to go down, probably in a couple of weeks.

I live about 45 minutes drive away from where some of it is filmed and we like to pick out the familiar places :)

[Paula]

We're going tonight! I can't wait.

[newfiemountiewife]

Benjamin and I are going on Sunday, I just bought tickets online a few minutes ago. We can't wait!

[nonnie]

Its not here till next week, so I think we are going to hit it after Thanksgiving dinner

[livelys]

Hopefully, DH will take a day off next week & take me - its much quieter during school time, and he can buy me lunch too :p

Can't wait to see it - does anyone know when the last, last movie comes out?

[jessica31876]

It was crazy here in Orlando. Universal Studios-Citywalk had HP playing on all 20 screens at midnight. They had it on the news and there were some huge crowds there. I know my daughter will want to go see it and so does my husband but I am just not into Harry Potter.

[jessica31876]

July 17th 2011 I think. It is already done. Hopefully, DH will take a day off next week & take me - its much quieter during school time, and he can buy me lunch too :p

[DawnMarch]

We're going tomorrow. Can't wait -- although I have to admit I've been disappointed by every movie so far! Not that they weren't good movies, but they just can never capture the books.

[maryinaz]

Just got back a couple of hours ago. It was heavenly sitting in a large theater with only about 25 people, all alone. :) Can't wait for the next one!

No different this time. My son hadn't read the book, so I was filling him in on some of the things they left out. I seriously LOVE the books. I've read them 4 times and I know I'll read them again.

[lovely1m]

I am going on Thanksgiving.

[Julie Billingsley]

Just got back a couple of hours ago.

oooh ooh, what was the final scene in the movie or they leave off? I'm trying to get to that point in the audio book before I go see it! :)

[Sharon Kay]

We'll be going ... just not sure WHEN. Got a lot on my plate right now so we'll just have to see ... really wish the boys had read the book first. I've got 2 free movie tickets (thank you pop tarts!) ... so I'll only have to pay for myself.

I knew it was sometime around there. I was watching a news show last night -Nightline I think- and they had the boy who played Draco Malfoy and he said what day it would be released and I could only remember it was in the middle of July 2011.

[tjscraps]

I'm not into crowds & movies .... I really want to see it, but I'll wait a couple weeks and go, I'll be way less frustrated then!

[maryinaz]

oooh ooh, what was the final scene in the movie or they leave off? I'm trying to get to that point in the audio book before I go see it! :) It ends with Voldemort getting the Elder Wand from Dumbledore in his tomb.

The NEXT movie is going to be amazing!

[4noisyboys]

My youngest saw it last night. He left right after work (about 6pm) and headed over to get in line with the masses. He said it was the best so far of all the movies! One of my other boys is going tonight (is there right now actually) with his girlfriend. Another son wants to go, and I'll probably go with him on Sunday during football, since neither of us watch football! I can't wait!

[DawnMarch]

We saw it this afternoon. Loved it!

[Paula]

It was great, but I really dislike when they change it from the book. That whole Harry/Hermione scene with Ron was NOT cool.

[crecia27]

:thumbup: completely uncalled for :-(

[AmberK]

I have only read the first 2 books of the series so with that being said I didn't hate the movie. But I was not as impressed as everybody else has been so far. The first half of the movie was pretty slow for me but it did finally pick up. I did like the movie and will see it again though.

[strawberryredhead]

I saw the movie, and that scene seemed to happen just like in the book. What am I missing?

[Julie Billingsley]

I went through the book and it IS in the book! I saw the movie today and that part is pretty much exactly like the book was.

Good movie. I always like the book better. LOL But I thought they kept to the book pretty well, just editing it for clarity and to help shorten it up. The things they changed actually helped the story along and didn't effect the overall story in my opinion.

[maryinaz]

One thing I thought was weird...I don't think they used the Invisibility Cloak once and that is one of the Deathly Hallows. They didn't even mention it when they found out about the symbol, did they? In the book they use that every time they go from place to place. And one part they seem to be leaving out is all the stuff about Dumbledore's life - his mom and sister and how they died, etc.

I've read the book 4 times but I feel like I need to read it again after seeing the movie and then again before the next movie.

[Paula]

Another thing that I didn't like was Voldemort using the wand at the end. The wand doesn't work for him which is why he kills who he kills because he thinks it will pass the power on to him. Voldemort was never the rightful owner of the elder wand, so it wouldn't work properly for him which was why he was getting so frustrated.

As for the H/H scene, that scene is in the book, but it's a PG version. In the book, it never said in the book that Harry and Hermione were naked and making out. It only taunted Ron about Hermione choosing Harry (the stronger wizard).

[newfiemountiewife]

I saw it last Sunday, and I loved it. I can't wait for the last one!

I do think that everyone should read the books though, because there is no way they can fit everything in the movies that were in the book. I think the 6th movie was the worst for that! And the books are great.

You're right! They only shared a pointed look when the cloak was mentioned as a Deathly Hallow. Never talked about it in the movie. Must be for the next movie.

And I think I saw a "mistake" in the movie. When Harry was in Umbridge's office in the Ministry, he was looking through some files and saw one that was Dumbledore with his stats and picture (with an x through it). His stats said he was half-blood, which is wrong, he was pure blood.

[Paula]

I totally agree here. I really loved the books and there is SO much information in there that can't possibly be put in the movies.

OMGosh! I totally missed that!! Guess I'll have to go and see it again, just to see that. LOL

[jorgies5]

Question for those who have seen it...would you take an 8-year-old and a 6-year-old to this movie? My daughters want to see it really bad (they have seen all of the other ones). Are there any inappropriate scenes or a lot of violence? They are both pretty much fearless, so they don't get scared with these type of movies.

Personally, I would not. But then I'm very, very strict with what movies my boys can see. I don't automatically let my boys see PG-13 movies when they turn 13 - I have to check them out first. So it would be very rare for me to let them see a PG-13 movie younger than 13. But that's just me.

[SPOILER ALERT!]

I took my kids who are 10 and 8, but they have read the books. There are some pretty violent scenes -- Hermione is tortured by someone carving words into her arm with a knife (though you really only see a glimpse of it), several people are murdered with curses and you see the dead body, Dobby is killed with a thrown knife and you see him bleed and die, there's a horror-movie-type scene with a lot of gore blood splashed on the walls and flies where you know know someone has been brutally murdered (my son covered his eyes for this part because he didn't want to watch). All in all, it's pretty intense. My kids were mostly okay with it, but I would not have taken my 8 year old last year -- it really depends on the kid.

[jorgies5]

Thanks Mary and Dawn. We don't usually let our kids watch PG-13 unless we have viewed it first. From what you have told me, we won't be taking them to it. Thanks for the info!

[eranslow]

We went to see the movie while back in CA visiting family. I had just finished the book and was disappointed :( Mainly because of what everyone else has already commented on! lol Still can't wait until the last movie!

[kristijoy]

DH and I went to see it. We had a wonderful time. Definately not a kids movie. The kissing scene didn't bother me a bit. The creepy, dark, cruel stuff is what makes it not a kids movie in my mind.

[[michele]]

I took three 10 year old girls last weekend, and they did just fine at the movie. Two people cried :crying: about Dobby, but one of those might have been a 40 something year old mom.....:huh:
