SEMI HP AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 SPOILERS AHEAD! U HAVE BEEN WARNED!

OhmyGOSH.
So I get to work yesterday morning, a little tired because Billy woke up at 3:30am and then 4am and at 4am I put him into bed with us. I was listening to the radio at work and I heard them talk about HP and the DH’s #2. They said it was opening tomorrow and I’m like, noo its opening the next day because I have tickets tomorrow night to the midnight screening. Then I thought about it.. and realised at 12:01am 13/7 was actually TONIGHT. OhMyGOSH I was seeing HP tonight! What a bimbo! Can’t believe I almost missed it!
Anywhoo.. as it so happens, I won a double pass to see it at Village Knox Friday afternoon on facebook. I never win a THING so this was awesome. As Geoff and I already had arranged our gold class 3d tickets for Rivoli Cinema Hawthorn, we gave this double pass to friends of ours. We caught up with these friends first for a late dinner at Rock Kung in Glen Waverley and had a lovely banquet and then headed to Mocha Joe’s for a quick strong capp befor heading our separate ways to see the finale that I have been waiting for for YEARS! And WOW, it so didn’t disappoint.

The first poignant scene was a lovely shot of the castle and some 3d Dementors. Snapey stands at the window and looks out, all pensieve. And it was just so perfect, I love my sweet tortured Snapey soul. The movie’s 3d was discreet and not overdone. Scenes were perfect. It was action packed, bang bang bang. Jumped straight into the Gringots scene and then soon after, to Hogwarts. But it didn’t feel like they were dragging it out either. The scenes that made me tear in the book equally made me tear in the movie and I wasn’t the only one.
Best part? The explanation of Severus Snape. Extremely emotional. Alan Rickman, what a fantastic actor.
Anything disappointing? I would have liked more focus on Remus and Tonks. Remus was one of my favourite characters after Snape and I felt he deserved more.

In other news, we have moved house. The new house is awesome. I will take some pics soon. I am not actually sure where my camera is at the moment, hehe. I am also getting extremely reflective and in touch with my instincts as I close in on my 30th (about 7 weeks away!) I am feeling very in touch with myself and the universe at the moment and I feel that great things are on the horizon!
