Write something proper about the new Harry Potter film? Erm. No.

So I feel like I should mention, I saw the Harry Potter Film last night. Part 2 of the 7th book. They have really milked that one, haven’t they! My conscience forced me to say… I should warn you now, because I can’t help myself, I have put a spoiler in this post. Some might consider it big and some might consider it obvious, but it’s there all the same.

I am embarassed that I saw it and even more embarassed to admit to it, but since I talk about most of the things I get up to which aren’t day-to-day then I thought I’d better say something. This is also the third night in the row I went to the cinema, impressive going by anyone’s standards.

I only went, because a friend was desperate to see it and I thought maybe its run would be finished before long, so I gave in. I was actively trying not to see it. I haven’t seen any of the others before and only saw Harry Potter and The Fellowship of The Ring (or whatever it’s called, I don’t bloody know) before this one.

I pretty much expected to have no idea what was going on for a while, but luckily, as it’s aimed at kids, there aren’t any particularly taxing themes to follow, or get confused by.

The cinema was pretty full considering, we were shunted off to one side, having previously sat in the wrong seats and been stared at somewhat harshly by their rightful owners for the next 2 hours.

The popcorn was ok, I bought a hot-dog, ate the Wine Gums and drank the Coke I’d brought from home and, as expected, Voldemort dies at the end.

Oh, sorry, did I spoil it for you? Come on, it’s pretty obvious, even if you haven’t read the epic final book.

That’s all you’re getting on that one. And in case you were wondering…

No, I don’t care that I put a spoiler in.

Yes, I will probably go back and warn you about it, because I’d rather like my readers not to think I am a dick.

Yes, I did swear in a review of a children’s film that children might read. Come on parents, it’s everywhere online, if you don’t like it, restrict them to Club Penguin or whatever crap they do these days.

No, I won’t be putting a picture in, it’s bad enough that I am writing this as it is.

Yes, I did manage to go to the cinema three nights in a row. Not only that, having paid half price on the two previous occasions I did pay full price for Harry Potter… In 3D.

No I’m not going to rate it, because having read all this, I should imagine that you won’t consider my opinion of this film as the most useful; you will want to see it if you’ve seen the last 7 regardless of what I say (that’s about £70 you’ve spent on seeing Harry Potter in the cinema just for yourself) and if you don’t like Harry Potter, you probably aren’t reading this right now, since the title includes the words HARRY POTTER.

Now eff off so I can curl up in the corner and spend the next 2 weeks getting over the shame of not just watching this film, but admitting to it.

If you like this kind of thing though, it’s actually not that bad. 😉
