Hogwarts
PK, I promise not to spoil anything. The husband and I got to see a preview of the new Harry Potter movie at the local Imax. It was so much fun!
We went without the girls…they’re a bit young. Although really that are totally into Lemony Snicket, so the books would be OK. There’s just something scarier about seeing it on screen.
The hubby is a reporter, and it was a screening for all the local media types. It was a hoot watching a movie in an entire theater full of extroverts used to people being excited about seeing “that TV guy”. Lots of commentary. I’m lucky my guy is a newspaper person, I don’t know if I could live with a radio person. Loud booming voices.
The husband said it was good, and easy to follow even if you haven’t read the books. I am always amazed at what they cut and what they keep.
Plus, as always, it has good sweaters. Neville had one I was particularly fond of. Look at the bag:

I really enjoyed the movie, but was also noticing what had been cut. And I didn’t even notice the professor’s bag during the movie. I guess I was caught up in the moment.

I really love it! I thought they did a great job including as much of the plot as they could seeing how the book is 700 pages long!

I told my hubby that you had your eye on one of Neville’s sweaters. After the movie, he nudged me and commented that there was an awful lot of handknits in the movie. Have you seen the book, Charmed Knits: Projects for Fans of Harry Potter by Alison Hansel?
