Well, you all know that "it ended" for me 4 years ago, when I closed Deathly Hallows, sitting in my reading chair in my first flat of my own, staring at the wall, tears drying on my face and thinking "Now what"?

Regardless, I find myself growing preeeeetty excited for the final film for no apparent reason. The jury is still out, but I think it is mostly because seeing a crowd of Potternerds ALWAYS warms my heart and makes me feel all giddy inside.

Well, I have my Ravenclaw scarf and a tshirt that says "Molly Weasley makes Chuck Norris eat his vegetables" laid out in a nice pile on my desk already, the AVPM soundtrack is on my iPod, ready to be packed tomorrow night. I'm going to London for my annual summer holiday/"Lets see how much food I can fit into my gob this year" extravaganza. Except a) I'll be looking for flats since I'm finally moving back home and

b) I have tickets for the Deathly Hallows midnight premiere at Odeon Leicester Square.
1683 Seats, sold out, and two of those are mine and ~leelakin's.

I know I'll cry, I'm just not sure why yet, because I truly do not care about the films that much.

The crowd had better be amazing, I want cheering and crying and cheering.

"Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.", indeed, Jo.

If anybody wants to hang, let me know :)

Me and my crew(7 of us, one for each book OuO) are bringing a box of tissues to share with our theater, because we're sassy like that.

I'm going to an imax permiere tonight and so siked. It's gong to be great. I'm going as Malfoy but.... I don't have any robes so I think I'll just wear my school uniform with the Slytherin tie.

Have an awesomesauce time!


That wasn't a suggestion.

Let me start by saying that I absolutely adore your drawings. I have been following the HP fandom for quite some time now, even if I am too lazy to comment on things, and let me tell you, I absolutely love how you draw Ron and Hermione, it's very them!

Now onto the Deathly Hallows Part II premiere thing...yesterday, here in Greece, an HP Marathon (which meant Deathly Hallows Parts I & II), was held...naturally, I had my tickets booked the days it was announced, even though I don't care much about the films either (and "fancy fanfiction" is a good way of putting it).

When I booked the tickets though, I had no idea I would get this excited about it, and as the days passed and it was coming closer and closer, I was more and more excited, and a bit sad (maybe that had something to do with the whole London Premiere/Red carpet thing and all the crying that took place...I mean I understand why people as sad about the films coming to an end, but what really hit me was how devastating in a way it must be for Dan, Rupert and Emma...they're saying goodbye to their childhood, and that's a hard moment for every one of us, leaving behind what's familiar and moving on)

What made me really start this comment though was your line "I know I'll cry, I'm just not sure why yet, because I truly do not care about the films that much", because I don't care about the films either (the whole don't judge a book by its movie thing) but I cried too, and I still try to figure out why. (if it makes sense at some point, I'll let you know)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it (which I am pretty sure you will) because it has some brilliant moments in it, and if, after watching it, you want to discuss it, I'd be honoured and delighted (a talk about HP with one of the best fanartists around? who'd say no to that? :D )

Cheers!

Myrto

For me the premiere's tonight. :) I'm overly excited already and although my life pretty much sucks at the moment because nothing works out the way it should I desperately clinge to that happy feeling I get when thinking about HP.
I wanted to make a tshirt for tonight but didn't have the time but I finished my own wand this weekend and I might just wear school uniform.
The only problem is that I don't have real HP fan friends. They all like the books and films but they don't know the stuff JKR said in interviews and they're just not as involved as other fans. So I can't really let my inner fangirl get out without getting some weird looks. Maybe at least at the premiere I'll see some real fans :)
Have a good time in London I'm really jealous. I love the city.

Hey, I'll be at the Leicester Square for the premier too, except I'll be working ^^; I still get to watch it, but from the back where no one can see me (: Maybe I'll scoop you some popcorn? lol

Awesome tee shirt. I think I'll make one because I need something Ravenclaw for the premiere.

I think you'll cry because whether you like the films or not, the movies are part of the Harry Potter world now. However crude they make some scenes, no matter how much they butcher such things that we love, JK Rowling allowed for them to be made and approved of how they were brought about into existence, at least enough for them to show. They are part of this world that we do not want to let go, and you will cry because even if it ended at the book, another subsection is ending at this movie.

At least I think. Maybe you just enjoy crying! :D

I agree with you. At least that's how I feel. Although I felt so empty turning the last page of the book and realizing that it was ALL over there was still something you could look forward to.
Now the only thing I might look forward to is reading HP to my own children one day and seeing how they enjoy a world that changed my life in so many ways.

Exactly. And I'm not sure about other people, but when I read the last book, I was fairly young, just going on twelve or thirteen. I didn't understand then like I do now how different life is going to seem without all these new installments to Harry Potter. But I will always make sure the magic lives on :)

I just waited 2 hours in line to see a Harry Potter art show at my favorite gallery on Saturday. Everyone was dressed up (I was the only Hedwig, though) and even though the wait was long, everyone was in a great mood, talking about their favorite books, their favorite characters, and how they can't believe it's almost over. I'm going to miss those stolen moments of camaraderie.
