Harry Potter V

While walking to the lab this morning, I saw a lot of broken branches on the street - that storm last night really came down hard!

At 10:30am, Vicky, Thomas, Melanie, and I left to go see the Harry Potter movie downtown. It only takes about 10 minutes to get there, and since we had reserved seats, we didn't need to show up too early.

The theater was packed with mostly little kids and their grandparents! There was also at least one baby, because it kept on crying during the movie.
Seriously - do you have to bring a baby to see the Harry Potter movie (rated "mature")??

The movie was good! There were some cheesy parts in it, and of course they needed to cut stuff out. They also changed a few key stories from the book's version.
The fighting scene at the end of the movie was pretty cool - lots of wizards duelling!

One of the new characters they introduced is Bellatrix Lestrange. She is a dark wizard that escapes from the wizard prison Azkaban. She was played by Helena Bonham Carter who did a really good job portraying crazy Bellatrix! She actually made more of an impression on me than the ever-evil Lord Voldemort.

Later that night, The Railway Campus served free pizza at a board games night. The pizza didn't come till 10pm (it was scheduled to come at 6pm) but I had made dinner on my own, anyways :)
