A Very Harry Potter Day.

July 14/15th was a special day for me. The opening of The Half Blood Prince came with much anticipation. A group of people at work were getting together in AF to see the movie. I was afraid David wouldn't be able to get off work in time to make it to the midnight showing in AF so we got tickets at the Scera. My Sister-in-law and her husband came with us so I wouldn't have to wait in line alone. I was very grateful.
I dropped Danyka off at her Aunt Lacey's. I was grateful Lacey was willing to take her so late, so I could go to the special event. She was kind enough to take this picture before I went to the theater.This is me waiting in line at the theater. I got to wear my official tie for the first time. I wore my handmade HP scarf. Yes, that's as "bushy" as my hair gets. Can you see Hermione's necklace? I was so excited to be Hermione. I haven't gotten to be her since before I got pregnant with Danyka. There were mosquitoes EVERYWHERE. I got bit 5 times in the first few minutes. I was glad I brought a sweater so I could cover my legs.The line was crazy. There were tons of people. Some selling knock off wands. Others dressed as Umbridge, (pictured) Lucious, or Bellatrix. However, the crowd wasn't as fun as other HP events. As you can see a fairly normal crowd which was unusual for the event.This is my sis-in-law Melanie and her hubby Merlin. I was so glad they were there. Thanks for coming guys!!

Me in line again.We finally got in the theater. It was a packed house. We chose a seat in the back. I saved a seat for David and you would have thought I committed a Felony.I was right not to get tickets at the AF theater. David as you can see, sat down just as the previews started. David wouldn't even take his eyes off the screen for a quick picture. Back home after the movie, David took another picture. The movie, as usual, was a bit of a let down. There are always things that frustrate me, especially the first time through. The 2nd time I see the movie I wont get so frustrated and I can appreciate it for a movie. I had a really good time, and I'm glad I went. I love the energy of the Midnight crowd. Here's to number 7 Part A and Part B.
