It is officially less than one week until Deathly Hallows Part 2!
Are we excited? Are we crying already? For me, the answer is both.
Laronda texted me yesterday to let me know that they were streaming the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Premiere online and I watched the entire thing getting more and more excited with every passing minute. I kept thinking things like "Only a few more days and then the C4 is going to be that excited! It's going to be so awesome to nerd-out together in costume!" (Michele, you better have something to wear, girl, or we are going to have a problem/going to go shopping and make you get something.)
There were so many good moments in the interviews. The twins were probably one of my favourites for the actual interviews because they seemed just so intensely thrilled with everything that was going on and so enthusiastic about the fans. When Alan Rickman stepped up for his interview (start at 5mins) all the fans started singing "Snape, Snape, Severus Snape" and I laughed so much.
When the premiere got to its end though... *sighs*
If you want to see what I actually mean by "the end", you can find it here.
What the entire thing came down to for me was when J.K. Rowling got up and gave her last speech.
...
When I first sat down to write this I was going to go straight into it and talk about the last line, which is probably what I'll remember of the entire thing, but now I've gone and watched it again and as soon as she gets to "No story lives unless someone wants to listen" I can feel my eyes start producing the inevitable tears.
God, I never used to cry at all... What's happening? How is this even possible?
"The stories we love best to live in us forever so whether you come back by page, or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."
*cries* Oh, yeah, that's how.
I'm going to end this now before it gets out of control.
Until The Very EndDina
P.S. (The person who makes PotterPuffs).
I was tearing up over here too Dina... We are just going to be balling like babies when the credits roll. Of course we will be crying before that too, but I just know when 'the End' pops up I am going to lose it...
ReplyDeleteAnd I second Dina's sentiment to Michele, so if you see this, you are doubly warned to make sure you have some Hogwarts appropriate attire. We also have to deal with your identity crisis. H
ufflepuff or Slytherin my dear, Badger or Snake, Yellow or Green, excellent finder or 59.93496% likely to go bad/be overambitious in a damaging way.
As to the identity crisis, I told Dina ages ago that Slytherpuff existed, thanks for proving my point!!
And it is nice that some other girl texted you in addition to me. Good to know you have several good Potterite friends Dina.
In response to the "some other girl texted you": *eyeroll*
ReplyDeleteAlso, there is only the appearance of Slytherpuff, no such house actually exists. Take, for instance, Mrs. Zabini who is an infamous black widow (woman who marries rich men and then kills them for their money). To her husbands she appears a Slytherin by house and name but a Hufflepuff in feelings but those feelings are a smokescreen for her "killer" ambition.
ReplyDeleteOne only has to look at Michele's boy to know she is a Hufflepuff. I mean really, she's in town for only a few hours but manages to find the one guy who will fall head over heels for her in 2 seconds flat! If that isn't a skilled find, I don't know what is.
Haha!! She was quite the adept finder that day considering she was originally looking for Bieber. And I have been texting Michele about our arrival plans for next week, and she says she has nothing pulled together clothing wise yet.
ReplyDeleteAn intervention may just be required.
do you know where the train station is yet? :P
ReplyDeleteNope. :D
