I have now seen this movie 3 times: Once at midnight, once at Azkatraz's midnight showing, and once with my sister who did not want to go and see it haha. Before the midnight showing, I had read up to page 500 and the morning of Azkatraz's showing I had finished the book, the 3rd time was 2 weeks after reading it. Each time I loved it more and more. My thoughts:
Positives:
-EXACT QUOTES FTW!!! "You can't break an unbreakable vow," the song Hagrid and Slughorn sing, kjsdfhsdkjgdsj it was brilliant. I felt like I had jumped into the book which is what the movies SHOULD feel like! For the first time, I can view the movies and books as the same series instead of two different stories in order to not kill myself.
-Evanna Lynch. My Luna <3 All her randomness just reminds me how much I adore Luna and what her character adds to the story.
-Train scene. It was different, but it worked amazingly. Tonks would have made more sense but all was forgiven for me when Luna started talking and just being Luna. "I am your friend Luna." "That'e nice."
-Felixxxxxxx just beyond words brilliant. This whole scene in particular just felt like the book. Everything was just perfect and hilarious and jksgfgf I adore this scene <3
-The memories were done very well. Tom Riddle was a creepy child/teen and it was just brilliant to see. Would have liked the others but I guess you can't have everything *shrugs.* The Gaunts would have really been nice though...
-Ron/Hermione stuff. The movies have totally seemed like Harry/Hermione for me up until this point so it was nice seeing the shift. The awkward teenage hormones were hilarious XD
-Draco. Nuff said.
-Fred and George's quick joke in the joke shop of telling Ron it was 10 galleons when he said I'm your brother. That's just sooo them and jfggsd they were in for like 2.5 seconds of the movie but, for me, this one line made it feel like they were in for much longer because it was just such a great moment that it stuck.
More is good, but I'm going nuts so Negatives:
-Flitwick? "Urgent choir practice." Wtf? I have never understood this choir thing and it was just really odd.
-Why the heck did Hermione get drunk off of butterbeer? And how did everyone just have basically no reaction to Katie? Why wasn't Leanne upset when talking to McGonagall? Just what? This scene wasn't really enough for me...
-Ginny was such a creeper. Why did she TIE HIS SHOES?! Throughout Azkatraz everyone kept making random jokes about how hot that was and it was hilarious. These jokes are the only reason this scene doesn't make me kill myself.
-Harry just has no idea about the otehr horcruxes? He's just gonna guess, is he? That'll be interesting...
-HI, ELDER WAND! HOW CONVENIENT OF YOU TO JUST BE SITTING ONTOP OF THE DESK! VOLDEMORT WILL BE THRILLED THAT HIS WORK IS DONE FOR HIM =D
-Train scene with creepy girl hitting on Harry? Awkwarddddddd.
-Dumbledore telling the ENTIRE SCHOOL about Tom. That just irked me...
I'm going to stop now before I continue listing things for the next 3 hours lol

I miss Azkatraz =[
I haven't written anything in a while. This blog is going to just be random sentences. I'm sorry that I have no energy to string said sentences together to form actual paragraphs.
I went to California on July 13th.
Saw HBP at midnight. Looooooooved it <3
Left friend's house to go to Parc 55 for Azkatraz on the 16th.
Saw HBP again. Still enjoyed it.
Azkatraz started. Did many things.
Went on boat for first time with Wrock Around the Rock. Twas fun experience.
Fangirled a lot.
Hung out with some awesome people.
Went to some cool sessions.
Stayed up really late. Barely ate anything that wasn't free XD
Came home on Tuesday.
Wednesday I went to PotterCast/Remus Lupins tour in Vegas. Twas fun and exciting.
Now my week of Potter is complete and I am sad.
Trying desperately to catch up on lost sleep and fulfill my post-Azkatraz check list.
Soon, I will hopefully have my journal written. I took notes and journal will probably be over 10 pages. Yes, I am putting this off because thinking about these events will make me sader and also writing that much seems tiring.
Chris Rankin was there! He's a cool dude.
Done with random sentences. Once I finish journal, I will probably post it here in parts, Kristina Horner and John Green style.
