Harry Potter 7: Part 1

Since movie 7 will be the last event for the 14 year Harry Potter Era, I have felt drawn to participate in any HP activity I can! My friend and I went to the HP party before the midnight showing of part one of movie 7. There wasn't a lot going on for what I expected, but we still managed to enjoy the night! First I got my custom-made rose-wood wand from a muggle wand maker(you picked your wood and design and he carved it up with a machine). Then we got sorted by the sorting hat into Gryffindor and given an appropriate scarf(which I have always wanted to have) to match that house. An owl was brought in and I learned some trivia about owls. And I thought it was cool to get my picture taken on a green screen so it looks like I'm flying on a broom in front of Hogwarts! Plus it's always fun to see how people dress up as characters! During the whole event, they played old HP movies to watch. There were about 15 theaters open for midnight showings(and they even had 3am showings after we were done)! This was the first time I actually loved the first showing of a HP movie! Normally I complain about everything the producer has changed and omitted the first time around and then learn to appreciate it seeing it multiple times, but this time they stayed truer to the book. Obviously there were still things left out, but not the important(or what I thought important) parts. The movie was just as intense and sad as the book had been! Can't wait to see part 2 July 15!!
