Isn't Harry Potter Worth It?

Made contact with a friend I haven't seen in a while. Harry Potter is always a good conversation starter. She and I are both fans of the little dude and are eagerly awaiting his newest movie installment. July seems a long way away right now. I'm trying to talk my friend, and yes I do have a few even though I have no followers, into coming down here for the midnight showing. At the release of the last movie, I went alone at midnight and the scene was most interesting. People were dressed in character. The Snapes were boo-ed, the Dracos were surrounded by friends to keep from being stoned. There were capes, pointy hats, and wands galore. It was theater. My friend would think it a real hoot. I realize that 200.00 for a plane ticket or an 18 hour drive to go to a midnight showing my seem a little extreme to some but really, are you a fan or are you a mouse? (or should that be fouse?) I've seen the trailers and I think she should make the effort. I think it would be worth it. Besides, once we saw it in the regular theater, we'd go to the IMAX downtown and see it again on the REALLY big screen. What more could you ask for in a four day weekend getaway? So come on, friend, jump in with both feet and make the trip. You know you want to. If all else fails, try disapparating.
