Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows part 2
 
My daughter is a HUGE Harry Potter fan. She read the series and now it's time for the movies. I picked up years 1-5 in HD DVD for about $25 from Amazon, nabbed year 6 in blu-ray from Target for a song, and just rented year 7 part 1 from Netflix in blu-ray. We've been watching one movie per night since Monday and will see year 7 part 1 on Sunday before going to the theater and seeing the last one.

The movie theater I chose to watch the final installment will be themed around the series. This includes the employees dressing up as characters, contests, horcruxes in concessions (?), and a possible meet and greet.

My point is that we're stoked. Is anyone else looking forward to this release?

I read the last book when it was released and still have it seared so much into my memory it's as though I just watched it on video. I have a hard time remembering if I saw it in the first movie or not. The movies have done very well at capturing the feel of the written stories. I never, NEVER, go to movies in the first week or so. I can't wait to see this one and will watch part 1 again just before seeing this last one.

Awesome MJ! It's still early. I don't think the crowds will be in until tonight. That, and the folks who probably lined up to catch midnight shows last night. Enjoy the show!

yeah I figured all the fangirls and fanboys came last night. The theatre is filling up nicely however. Half hour to go.

We had it on 30 screens in two cinemas last night. Every single one was sold out by last week. There was 3 am showings too. I didn't go. I can't wait to see it though.

Never been to a theater to watch a 3D film. Is this one worth it to see in 3D or should I just watch the regular version?

I just watched it tonight in 3D. I thought it was worth it. Then again, that's because it added some extra depth to something we already wanted to see. That made the extra 3$ per person surcharge worth it to me. Expect some eye-popping effects, but mostly a tad bit of extra depth. We got special HP glasses at our theater. That was kind of cool too.

Hey Mario! I watched it Saturday afternoon. I thought it was one of the best of the series. I can't do 3-D it makes me all motion sickness but if you say it's that good it might be worth it! I will be buying this when it comes out of Blu-Ray.
