You know, this thing. Did I mention I had been waiting for so long?
Yes, my friends. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie came out, well, today. I was going to say last night, but it was technically this morning. And my sisters and I went to the midnight premiere!
And because we're cool, we dressed up as characters from the movie/book.
We look awesome, huh? Kar is Bellatrix Lestrange, I'm Tonks, and Lex is Luna Lovegood.
The movie was, in short, awesome. I laughed, and cried, and laughed, and sighed, and got chills, and laughed, and jumped, and laughed, and went "eeeee!" a few times under my breath.
We went to Perkins for some pie before heading over to the movie. I had way too much fun with my "wand" (a wooden cooking spoon). I would say "Alohomora!" at the door before opening it up. We were walking in the dark and I'd say "Lumos!" It really is a shame that magic isn't real.
I was surprised and pleased by how many people dressed up. But some people's characters were kind of a mystery. Like, they'd have their faces painted a certain way, but it wasn't definitive. I was like, Draco? Voldemort? Crabbe? Ron?
When I was walking down the hall at the theatre, a chick yelled down the hall, "Hey, Tonks!" I turned around, thinking maybe it was someone I knew. But I totally didn't know her. But hey, it made me feel good, knowing that my character was recognizable by how I dressed up. I don't know, maybe it was the hair that gave it away.

hen we got there the movie workers were like, "You can't bring your wands in here. You might cast a spell or something." But then the manager guy was like, "Oh, we're not letting wands in? I didn't know." So we didn't know if they were being serious or not. I ended up taking the wands back to the car, but later we saw a ton of people with wands, so maybe they were being dumb teenagers or something.

But that price is worth it. SO worth it. If you get a chance, go! Like, go today!
P.S.-If you're a Harry Potter fan, check out this site. It's crazy.

That's so funny! You all look great as the characters you picked! I really want to go see it in the theater but Mark isn't that much into Harry Potter and wants to go see Star Trek instead. :P
Your costumes are awesome!! Lots of people in my theatre dressed up also! It was so fun! One guy dressed up as a rememberall (sp?)! It was sooooo soooo fun! We arrived 5 hours early and had great seats! While we were in line to get in, we started a big catch phrase game. Just me, my sisters and friends and a whole bunch of harry potter fans, all strangers playing games together! It was so fun!
