HERMY WHERE HAGGER

Two things: Annoying People, and Harry Potter (which at times are one and the same! But not this time.)

First, Annoying People, part 1. I went to see a 12:10 showing of Harry Potter and got there around 10:45, 11:00ish. Got in the theater easily, no lines etc, got a pretty good seat at the back of the front section. All was well until about 1 minute when the most annoying guy starts talking a few rows into the upper section. Just loud commentary on random bullshit, a sort of whiny monotone that grates your ears like fingernails on a chalkboard. The theater was about 3/4 full at this point and everyone was chattering away, yet his voice still carried over everyone else. It was somewhat bearably annoying until the pre-movie ads and trivia stuff started appearing on the screen, which he saw fit to READ OUTLOUD. Like, really outloud. He was doing this for a good 15 minutes, reading everything, even after stuff had repeated itself three or four times, he still thought it was necessary to be an annoying asswipe and narrate for everyone. A few people would quietly say "shut up!" after he said something, and after a while he did shut up, only to start up again soon after. Seriously, what the fuck? A lot of people do shit like that and are annoying for a few minutes before they get bored with themselves, but this guy would NOT let up. Luckily this unfortunate waste of a human being stopped once the previews started and I only heard him once or twice during the actual movie, but that does not make up for over an hour of listening to him read the fucking trivia about Will Ferrel 80 times in a row.

Now, Annoying People, part 2. In the same general area as this first asshole was another, younger asshole who was probably 10 or 11 (I would feel bad about calling a kid an asshole, but this I feel is one of a few appropriate terms to describe him.) Since I got there an hour or so early I figured I would take my DS to entertain myself. I was playing Chrono Trigger when I hear "HEYYY you with the white DS!" so I looked behind me at the kid and he asks if I'm playing Harry Potter. No, I tell him, I'm playing Chrono Trigger. He apparently didn't know what that was because he kind of said "Chro...?" and then gave me a weird look. I turned away and continued playing, and a minute or so later I hear his dulcet tones asking if I want to Pictochat with him. I turned around and politely said no, that I was playing my game. He continued to ask me to Pictochat with him off and on the entire time until the movie started. At first it was fairly constant, then it slowed down to a trickle of random cries of "Pictochaaaaaat!" that went unsanswered.

But, seriously, wtf? WHY would I Pictochat with a 10 year old kid in a movie theater while waiting for Harry Potter? I don't fucking know this kid, what the fuck are we going to "chat" about? I should have done it and drawn in "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE YOU LITTLE HELLSPAWN" but that's a bit mean, even for me. Even me ignoring him FOR OVER AN HOUR did not convey that, no, I do not want to fucking Pictochat with you. Go fucking bother someone else. Go annoy the other asshole near you and maybe each of you annoying behaviors will miraculously cancel each other out. Whatever you do, please fuck off and die.

NOW THAT THAT'S OUT OF THE WAY.

THE MOVIE.

I think this might be the best one yet. I really love Prisoner of Azkaban and the Order of the Phoenix, but this was just....fucking amazing and hilarious. I was literally chuckling the entire time except for the serious and scary bits (though I did let out a slight giggle at how the Inferi looked like an army of Gollums).

Lavender was delightfully annoying and ridiculous, which is how it should be. I'm glad they didn't really try and make her like, a character who you were supposed to be cheering for. She was outrageous and crazy and totally awesomly horrible (plus she looks EXACTLY as I pictured her in the books: blonde, blue and pink all over.)

Luna strikes again! Not as big a part as in OOTP but awesome nonetheless, especially with the crazy lion hat.

I WANT HERMIONE'S GRYFINDOR SHIRT. Like, really badly.

 Unsure how I feel about the Burrow scene. I automatically didn't like it because it was not in the book, but after thinking about it I still can't really figure out a reason for it. Action, sure, but it was so....random. There was no explanation of what happened before and after it. Why were they attacked? Is the Burrow fucked now?

Absolutely LOVED the copious amounts of Ron and Hermione luvvin'. Hermione is so obvious now. I LOVE THEM. Hell I love the whole trio, like, a ridiculous amount. They are so awesome together.

Fenrir Greyback is delightfully creepy. Did he even say anything at all? I can't remember. He was quite the character without any lines, though.

And apparently Tonks and Lupin are making little werewolf cubs already, as indicated by the random little "sweetheart" Tonks threw Lupin's way at the Burrow. But apparenlty she was also depressed, since she had the brown hair that emo!Tonks sports in the book. So, wtf?

Cormac McLaggen = Ryan Phillippe?

Also, if Hermione was not already my favorite character, she totally would be now. The whole bit of her at Slughorn's party trying to avoid McLaggen was priceless. "On second thought, give me those!" Oh, Hermy-one, you so silly.

Also, WHEN DID DAN RADCLIFFE GET SO DAMN HILARIOUS?!?

Ok, I'm done, for tonight anyway. It's almost 4am and I am a -wee- bit tired, so forgive the spastic nature of this post. In conclusion, I hate annoying people AND I FUCKING LOVE HARRY POTTER.

Good night!
