i went to see harry potter last night! yeah, harry potter himself, not the movie (well, in my dreams). i was so excited that i even had this picture taken. i felt like a kid about to see her favorite cartoon movie. haha (please dont throw stones or popcorns at me).
everybody seemed to have a single destination that night. parang lahat ng tao sa gateway paakyat sa 4th floor. And the queue for the tickets was really long that night. its a good thing that we bought our tickets a week before. saved us the stress of having to wait for minutes just to get good seats.
i was so giddy that night. i was hoping that the movie would turn out great because there were some apprehensions at the back of my mind that it would just be...mediocre.
the movie was made for kinds and not really for the book aficionados. it really focused on the triwizard cup and neglected some of the details that may have had big impact on the overall story. it is a good movie i think for people who did not read the book but a bit short and incomplete for people who know the book. one major spoiler i think was the lack of a portion showing the quidditch finals between scotland (or ireland) and bulgaria, where scotland (or ireland) won but krum got the snitch. isa pa namn yun sa inaabangan ko.
nevertheless, natuwa namn ako sa movie. the great effects made up for the lapses. i love the festive mood during the quidditch world cup. kaya lang hindi pinakita yung ibang mascots, especially the veelas whom i wanted to see.
my other favorite scene in the film was the arrival of the durmstrang and beauxbaton students (although the description was a bit different from the book). and krum was so damn goodlooking! he was not supposed to look that way... and, he got to deliver 2 lines, one was when he talked to rita skeeter and the other was when he said goodbye to hermione, with the matching good bye wave. haha funny

after the movie, we headed straight to the food court to have our dose of carbohydrates and fats. at aba, nakakagulat na ang presyo ng mga pagkain sa fastfood. side salad is still 20 bucks but chili rice already costs 25, plus 10% tax. at ang bacon mushroom melt ay 100 pesos na. grabe...
