Harry Potter and the Deathly Wait

Like millions of others, I've been totally excited to see this last movie of the Harry Potter epic, Deathly Hallows Part 2. I did my homework before the big night. I reread the last book. I watched Part 1 the movie again. What has become a tradition for a few of the girls in my family is going to the midnight show. Jenna bought the tickets so we were set! In fact she bought them 3 weeks ago because she overheard at the theater that shows were already sold out. So knowing we had out tickets was actually the first part of the Deathly Wait. Sadly, Jenna's camping trip plans changed up a bit and she had to miss out on this one, but Mark has been reading and watching this year as well, so he was able to come with us.
Then I found these t-shirts online and I new we had to have them. I love them. They are colorful, soft, and super fun. And when Jenna gets back from her trip I'm totally wearing it again to see the movie with her. (I hope you are reading this Jenna!)
We decided to get to the theater at 10:30pm in order to get in line and be able to sit together in the theater. We ended up getting there earlier even because we got a call saying the lines were already in the parking lot! The theater had lines roped off outside according to theater number and of course many people were dressed up as the characters. We saw Voldemort, Harry, the Weasley twins, even Hedwig, Harry's owl. All fun to see and make fun of a bit! :)  Even arriving at 10:10pm for our 12:01 show, we were not sure we would be able to sit together. So began the next part of the wait. Around 10:40 managers came out and told us we would be let in shortly and asked everyone to stand up and move up to the doors. Around 11pm other lines were being let in to their theaters, but not us. In fact...it was 12:00 when we were actually let in to our theater. It was like the aftermath of some weird scifi film. The parking lot and front of the theater was quiet, silent. Popcorn, feathers, and other litter was left blowing around. But we were at the end of our wait at last! Not so fast. After getting in, we were NOT able to find  4 seats together, but at least in front of each other. Then we knew in just 1 more minute we would be set! Nope. The manager came out and explained that ALL the theaters were being shown the movie from the same projector so it would take another 15-20 mins  to synch up together. At this point we were just laughing. And tired. The excitement buzz had started to wear off.

But then it started. And it was EPIC. Definitely, definitely worth the deathly wait. Goodbye Harry Potter! Thanks for the ride!
