Hooped up on Harry

If I thought I could handle the late night, the immense lack of sleep, the likely ridicule from my peers, and the probable long lineup outside the theatre, I’d probably be like others and look to take in the midnight opening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince tomorrow. But unfortunately at age 31, I don’t think my body could handle the stress and have opted to wait it out a bit. Like maybe 12 hours or something like that.

Even though I’ve never read the books (and neither have Michael Gambon, Ralph Fiennes, nor Alan Rickman for what it’s worth), I still find myself enthralled with the series. As each movie is released, I get excited. I change my ringtone, get caught whistling the title tune in the elevator at work, and begin to write about it here at LCBD. So it’s safe to say that I’m pretty psyched.
But more importantly, are you hooped up on Harry?

      Seeing as it’s now been out for a while, how was it? I’d really like to go but with my move this weekend, I’m pretty much tied up.

    I was really hoping to see the movie back in the fall when I was in the states but now that its coming out this week. I can’t wait.. Might wait a week so I’m not stuck with a bad view.

      That’s the same way I think – give it a few days to let the crowds die down. I don’t understand why it’s so important to see something so big so quick – much to the chagrin of a few friends (one camped out 24h before Phantom Menace was released).

      Can’t say I’ve ever gotten into the Twilight series. Is it that good?
