<p>Public Service Announcement: Be sure to buy them in advance - first show is Thursday at midnight, first full day is Friday. Fandango has them if you don’t feel like stopping by your local theatre.</p>
<p>You know you have to see it right away, otherwise EVERYONE will spoil it for you (maybe not on CC, we try to be polite, but the world is dark and wild).</p>
<p>we already have tickets for the IMAX on opening day ;)</p>
<p>thanks for the reminder – i’m reviewing the movie for the school paper, so i definitely need to buy tickets soon</p>
<p>heh, my friends and i got a bunch of tickets in advance for friday. yay!</p>
<p>I am in the process of knitting a scarf in the Ravenclaw colors (movie colors, not book colors) for my daughter.</p>
<p>fireflyscout: how old is ur daughter?</p>
<p>A spoiler on a Harry Potter movie? </p>
<p>Hate to break the news to you, but we true Harry Potter fans have already read the book, and we kind of know already how it ends.</p>
<p>But thanks for the reminder. I do have a date with my daughter.</p>
<p>My daughter doesn’t get home until Tuesday night, but her Harry Potter friends, all 3, get home on Friday night. She threaten to kill them if they saw it without her as they have seen all of the others together while in high school. She then said she wouldn’t kill them but they were to pretend that they didn’t go without her and they could not see it at the IMAX! The girls do have a date to see it together at the IMAX on Wednesday before Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>My 21 year old displaced Tulane student has been busy rereading the book here at home. I hadn’t really thought about when he will see the movie; he went with an ex girlfriend before. Maybe his siste will let him tag along.</p>
<p>I actually saw the preview last night- it was great!<br>
Kids dressed up as the characters, trivia contests, etc. The preview is put on by local radio and tv stations and tickets are given out to contest winners. It’s just a lot of fun to go and see a movie with an appreciative audience.</p>
<p>As a real HP book fan, my family and I have refused to see any of the movies or purchase any HP merchandise other than the books. I cannot imagine ruining my own personal images of each HP character and location by seeing the movies. The books are so well written they do not need to be made into movies. Plus, I think Rowling has made enough money from the books. I prefer not to contribute further to her enormous wealth!</p>
<p>I am not that big of a Harry Potter fan- but I do enjoy going to see the movies- especially at the IMAX- they decorated the entire theatre including audio of moaning myrtle in the bathroom- and it is one of the few things that I do with my daughter and her friends.</p>
<p>Maggie Smith is always fun to watch and I am looking forward to seeing Ralph Fiennes albeit with heavy makeup.</p>
<p>Seeing a movie based on a book that you love is always a tricky prospect- but for example I thought the LOTR movies were great & I didn’t even get interested in the novel * The English Patient* until I had seen the film ( also Ralph Fiennes with heavy makeup)</p>
<p>I thought this was interesting,a publisher of Harry books who uses post consumer paper to print the books-

<p>The Mom: I agree with you, but I’ve always been too curious to refrain. The movie characters certainly don’t look the way I imagined them, but I try to keep the images separate.</p>
