Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2

Thursday I got to go to an early showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I am a GIANT Potterfan. To ridiculous, epic proportions. Its probably my favorite series of books ever, and I read a lot. I haven't enjoyed the movies as much as the books - it is impossible to properly translate the books to the big screen - but the Prisoner of Azkaban & Deathly Hallows, Part 1 movies came the closest for me. So I was excited for ...Part 2!


My brothers Brian & Josef went with me. Josef is almost as big a Potterfan as I am, so we were happily geeking out together & Brian was having fun mocking us. My only regret from the day is that since I had to run straight from work to make the 6:30 showing, I didn't get to dress up. (Yes, I dress up for Harry Potter just like I did for Lord of the Rings. Don't judge me.)

The movie was amazing, and everything I could have asked for. I think it has even replaced Prison of Azkaban as my favorite Potter film. The boys & I had a terrific time. On our way out the door though, we ran into...


VOLDEMORT! I had to take his picture. We got to talking & turns out his real name is Tyler and he is a theater student at the University of Utah studying theatrical makeup. We had an awesome conversation about how he had done his makeup & other fun stuff.

All in all, a great day and the high point of my week!

Sounds like you had a total blast. Last night the Edling family found out that I've never read or seen Harry Potter and I believe that may their new mission. Ha! We'll see how it goes!
It was fun to see you on skype last night!!
