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, 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, 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, I pulled an all-nighter to finish rereading my set work for my English exam. I managed to finish earlier than expected and decided to get some sleep. I then promptly slept through my alarm and missed my exam. FML

Immersive experience

Today, after a long and tiring day at work, I went to the movies, where I loaded up on soda, popcorn, and candy, and settled in to enjoy the movie. I ended up falling asleep and being woken up two hours later by an usher. FML

Movie night

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 watching Harry Potter. When all the students at Hogwarts started to clap at one point, I started clapping myself. 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 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 was let down for a movie date. As I'd already paid for the tickets, I got my narcoleptic sister to come and sit next to me while she slept, so it didn't look like I came on my own. FML

If you wanted to see it that badly, you should have forced yourself to stay awake

This is fake; I was watching the live feed from the premiere when this was posted, and it hadn't even started yet. It was still on the red carpet.

I would've shot myself - in complete honesty, I would have shot myself.

How the hell do you fall asleep during anything Harry Potter? Seriously. I went to the midnight release of the last book after getting 6 hours sleep the previous night, read the entire book for 12 hours straight from 3 a.m. to 3 p.m., and STILL didn't sleep until 6 p.m. I didn't fall asleep even once, and I'm one of those people that normally doesn't function without plenty of sleep. And you couldn't stay awake through the movie? During which all you had to do was watch the screen? You fail at life.

1) YDI for not having anything better to do than queue for a movie for hours in the rain. 2) YDI even more for not being able to save yourself a lot of heartache by waiting a whole 2 days. 3) YDI again for picking a bad movie in the first place Yeah, I'm not a HP fan. I don't think it's crap, because the books are decent, but the movies have never been great. And the books were mediocre in the first place. Pretty much, I could maybe see this much fanaticism being reasonable if she were Tolkien reborn and revolutionized the entire genre, but she wasn't, and didn't, and so it's not.

OMFG I wish I lived in the UK. That's odd; I read that the premiere was the same over there as it is in the US. That sucks for me... because I was going to go see the premiere in the UK... fail planning on my part then .-. I'm a HUGE HP fan. The books are amazing, but they screw up the movies. This one looks better though...
