Today, I had to do a "damage report" on myself after going to the midnight premiere of Harry Potter. As I was waiting for the previews, a 20 year old man dressed as a house elf tackled and wrestled me for my seat. FML

Today, stood in line for hours to see the new Harry Potter. Unfortunately, once inside the theater, I was stuck in the bathroom with the runs for the entire length of the movie. FML

Today, I went to see the new Harry Potter movie with my boyfriend. Feeling an intense need to pee, he decided to sacrifice a few minutes of the movie before the highly-anticipated final combat to get some relief. He went through the wrong door, locking himself out. Right until the end. FML

Today, during some previews before the new Harry Potter movie, a guy stood up and led the audience in an enthusiastic and rather successful chant "H-A-R-R-Y!". Minutes later when I attempted to do the same thing, I was pelted with half-full bags of popcorn, freezing sodas, and booing. FML

Today, I queued up for few hours in torrential rain to see the Harry Potter premiere. After just four hours sleep and waking at 3am, I fell asleep during film and missed the whole thing. FML

Today, I was late to a sold out movie in the theater, so I had to shuffle in during the previews in the dark. I sat down in what I thought was the last vacant seat, but I'd really just sat in a small woman's lap. She was not happy. FML

Today, I was watching Harry Potter. When all the students at Hogwarts started to clap at one point, I started clapping myself. FML

Today, my boyfriend finally convinced me to watch Harry Potter for the first time. I was bored out of my mind the entire time, and by about an hour in, all I could think about was how badly I wanted to punch Hermione for being a rude little know it all. FML

Today, I was going on a first date with a girl I really like. We were going to see the new Harry Potter movie, and she told me she was getting all dressed up. It was only after I picked her up I realized she meant that she was dressing nicely. I was dressed as Harry Potter. FML

Today, I earned the nickname of "Harry Potter" for all the wrong reasons. I got locked in a storage cupboard for most of my shift, and couldn't get out. FML

Today, I went to see the new Twilight movie, for the second time. The first time was at the midnight premiere. I would be "okay" with it if the person who had dragged me to see it both times hadn't been my boyfriend. FML

He was trying to destroy the Horcrux within you. Trust me, you will thank little Dobby later.

There was a lady dressed as the whomping willow. I thought it would have been funny if she walked around whomping people across the head. Or better yet, tackling them. Haha.

I had two friends break out their liquid latex and paint to create some pretty convincing voldemort costumes, complete with Elder wands and black Robes.

24, you are wrong. The movie was disappointing, so many details missed. But, compared to the other movies, it was pretty good.

how can you complain about the movie? it was perfect the way it was! If all the details were includes it would have been 5 hours long.

Harry Potter (the book) is really long and has alot of intricate details. I think the movie focused on the important things mainly and balanced out the details just right. Pretty sure you just don't like HP.

I would watch a 5 hour long Harry Potter movie ^_^. If it would include minor but important details I'm all for it. I'm STILL bitter about everything they took out from HBP.

Considering each page of a script is about one minute long, there is no way you could possibly include every detail into a movie. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has around 759 pages, so if you were to transfer that to film, you're looking at over a twelve and a half hour movie. No one, I don't care how much of a fan you say you are, is going to watch that in theaters. All the things they've added and taken out were done for a reason and obviously approved by J.K. Rowling. It's great that you appreciate the books and have such an attention to detail, but realistically, no movie is ever going to match the books.
