Harry Potter Goblet of Fire countdown!

[tigereye]

Who's excited? Only three more days.

(I almost wrote giblet!) ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. ME! ME!

I'm also excited! CAN'T wait!

I plan to be at the first show.....but not the midnight one.....

I LOVE these movies!

[cfield]

2. We have a midnight showing Thursday

that I won't be attending because I'm doing a dinner for work and will be entirely too exhausted. And Friday we have a K-State basketball game and I refuse to miss that. My husbands birthday is Monday so the weekend is dedicated to his celebration and even though we both took Monday off work, I promised not to drag him to Harry Potter. So, we're probably going to go Tuesday! I'm so excited! I've got a friend that will be there Friday, so she'll be able to fill me in over the weekend.

3. Me and my 8 year old can't wait

but the 2 of us are going to Atlanta on Friday to visit my sister and her new baby for the weekend, would it be rude to ditch the family to go to a movie?

[tigereye]

13. nah

you all might need a rest from the little one, anyway.

[XNASA]

4. Is he the colonel on MASH?

:shrug:

[Twillig]

8. No

Big Time Dick says: Crucio!

[tigereye]

14. hey!

:spank:

continue on to your showing of Bedknobs and Broomsticks....

[swag]

5. Is that the fourth book? Or which one is that?

I guess I need to watch them old movies again.

Thanks for the tip, sister.

[tigereye]

15. yup

I just saw some pix of the new cast.. Krum, Cho and Fleur!

[XemaSab]

6. ME! ME! ME! ME!

I have my ticket for midnight thursday! I can't wait!

:bounce:

[tigereye]

16. cool!

[myrna minx]

7. Me! I can't wait!

:bounce:

[yellowdogintexas]

9. my daughter and I are planning to go next Tuesday, after the

immediate rush is over. It is her day off, so we will just meet at the theatre after work, get the tickets and grab a light supper.

[tigereye]

17. great

:thumbsup:

[Reciprocity]

43. My husband and I are planning on going to the matinee on Tue.

I hear it is getting good reviews. The only thing is, these are from people who don't read the books. Frankly I can't see how they can keep the integrity of the book in only one movie since the book is so long. Lots of cutting beloved scenes out. I'll just have to see for myself how well this new director does with the stripped down screenplay. One thing I find unfair is when folks point out that the cast is getting to old to play the parts. Well duh if they read the books they would know that Harry and company are growing older as well.

[RubyDuby in GA]

10. I already have my tickets

Yes I'm 31 years old and I will push any small child out of the way who gets between me and that theater. Ok, maybe not, but then again...... :evilgrin:

[LeftyMom]

11. I'll wait a week or two

because I hate crowds, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.

[NNadir]

12. Do you think Potter will plug Chen...I mean Voldemort in the 7th book?

[tigereye]

18. I think you meant Cho

;)


see I suspect there will be a new gf by then....

[NNadir]

19. Actually I was referring to a Dark Lord not specifically mentioned in the

book.

There are dark lords in lots of fiction and dark lords in lots of real life situations.

Voldemort's life is metaphoric.

[dr.strangelove]

20. I caught that

I assumed you were going for dickey boy and not Cho.

[tigereye]

23. true

I saw a great bumpersticker... during the last pres. election that said defeat Voldemort, or something....

[Shine]

35. I saw a bumper sticker during election season that said...

REPUBLICANS FOR VOLDEMORT.

Maybe that's the one you saw.... Pretty funny, huh?
:)

[tigereye]

37. that's it!

Hi Shine!

how are ya? Are you guys going to the film? The reviews look great!

[Shine]

40. Hi tigereye!!

Yup, I'd responded further downthread that we're going tomorrow for my son's 12th bd party. We bought advance tix weeks ago, since we're taking so many kids. We've got boxes of Bertie Bott's Beans to give away as party favors, with disgusting flavors like "earwax" and "vomit". Should be fun! :thumbsup:

Have fun when you see it! :hi:
Shine

[Reciprocity]

44. I used to have this in my sig line

[tigereye]

48. yes that's the one!

I meant to get one during the election....maybe I should still get one!

[bikebloke]

21. Review out

Today's Financial Times has a review. Though if anyone is anxiously awaiting the film's release, they might want to pass on reading it.

[northzax]

45. the FT didn't like it, huh?

the NYTimes thought it was very good. And anyone who's eagerly anticipating the movie already knows the plot, I figure.

is the FT review online? I'd like to read it...

[scarlet_owl]

22. I'm excited!

But I have to wait until Saturday. :(

[tigereye]

24. I've been reading some of the preliminary articles

Not sure i want to see a review... I'll have to see when my son wants to go to see it....

I love to see how the actors change IRL and in their characters....

[SocratesInSpirit]

25. Im going on Saturday!

Today I needed a copy of the campus newspaper at the college I work at, but I asked the receptionist for "The Daily Prophet" instead of "The Daily Campus" - I'm in HP la-la land! :rofl:

[tigereye]

29. that's funny!

you will have to get out your quick quotes quill!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

26. What's Harry Potter

:shrug:



Redstone

[SocratesInSpirit]

27. It's not "Harry" Potter

It's "Hairy" Potter - a series of popular gardening/pottery books. "Harry" is a typo that occurred in a book review. Admitting wrongdoing was utterly out of the question, of course, so FOX News made up a brilliant cover story about a boy wizard who attends a school of magic in Britian.

It's a mass conspiracy, I tell you! If they knew I knew...

Hang on just a second, my doorbell is ringing...


:silly:

[tigereye]

30. if he were a jazz player you would know....

he he :hi:

[uppityperson]

33. here's a couple pictures

or

[rateyes]

28. Have tickets in hand...

bought them a week ago. I'm ready.

[Evergreen Emerald]

31. My daughter and I are going to the midnight showing!

Should be fun!

[driver8]

32. I don't mean to brag, but I have seen it twice and it is awesome!!

My favorite Harry Potter movie so far.

[Evergreen Emerald]

42. It was good wasn't it!?

The midnight showing was fun too. There was a trivia game going on while we waited for the movie to start. And Hagrid was there getting lots of hugs and cheers from the crowd.

I think this was one of--if no the- best one so far.

[Shine]

34. OMG, we are ALL OVER this one!!!!

My 12 yr old son actually played Harry Potter this past summer in a kid's 2 1/2 hr. production of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". He was picked out of 45 kids for the lead role. For his bd party this w/e we're taking about 12 of his friends to the Sat. matinee and we've already bought advance tix. Should be a blast.

Can't wait!! It's actually gotten fairly decent reviews, thus far, which is great.

:woohoo:

[XemaSab]

36. t-minus 2 hours

to HP:00!!!!

:bounce:

[AngryAmish]

38. I already saw it (midnight show)

I can't beleive Harry gets killed.

[Love Bug]

39. Bad!!

:spank:

[northzax]

46. and by Hermione, no less

who saw that coming?

[LostinVA]

41. I have my tickets! Will be at the 3:45 showing! YAY!!!!!!!!

[davidinalameda]

47. Gilbet of Fire will be released next Thursday

think about it

[tigereye]

49. i love it!

Giblet of fire!

:rofl:

I am easily amused....

I was tempted to go to see the movie today without my kid, but I thought it would be better to see it with him, since that's what we have done with all the other ones!

[MissHoneychurch]

50. I already saw it

:D
