  5. Hi Anna!

    OMG! I so glad that I didn't choke on my doughnut!

    I'm laughing so hard, my son is laughing with me, reading over my shoulder!

    I really want to go tonight, but no else wants to endure the crowds. Tried to talk the kids into the midnight show last night, but it was sold out here. We only have the one theater that shows first run movies, but it's showing on two screens.

    Hopefully, we'll go Friday. Can't wait to hear how it is and to see for myself!

  6. Anna,

    Those are too funny. :) We are heading to the movie today at 12:30. We pre-ordered the tickets, so that is a bonus - don't know about the crowds though. :) We live in a small town so I'm hoping everyone else will wait until later in the week.

  7. Those are great!!

    I can't wait to see the movie. We will probably wait until this weekend- cringe, the crowd is going to be ginormous, but my daughter doesn't get in until late tonight and hubby is going to want to see it too so that leaves nights and weekend.

  13. That's great! I like this one:

    I will not yell "Believe it.... or not!" after any of Dumbledore's speeches. LOL!!

    HP 6 is playing on two screens downtown and there was a huge line of people sitting on the sidewalk around the building last night. I think I'll wait a few days before seeing it.

  15. Great lines-- I laughed on every single one. ;)

    I've already seen it (saw it today with my family) and it was GREAT! Amazing, I had no complaints after watching it (unlike with the last movie, which was a butcher job from beginning to end).

    Enjoy,
    TBQ
