Harry Potter Moment of the Week (2): Best HP Memory

Harry Potter Moment of the Week is a meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts. The aim of this meme is to share with fellow bloggers a character, spell, chapter, object or quote from the books/films/J. K. Rowling herself or anything Potter related! A list of upcoming topics can be found here.

This week's topic is:
Best HP Memory

We've been lucky to have a lot of shared HP memories together, but our favorite has to be attending the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on its opening day/night. It was a pretty last minute decision to go, too; the entire family (seven of us all together) sort of just assembled and went. Of course the theater was packed when we arrived, but we were extremely fortunate when we reached the front of the line. The first showing was completely full by then, and we were some of the first people to be sent to the other showing in a second, and empty, theater. We got great seats, and seeing the film was extra special because it was the only time that we ever went to a midnight screening of an HP movie.

What's your favorite HP memory?

  1. Lovely! We never had midnight screenings so I went to the first possible hour at like 4 pm with a million kids. Still, totally worth it :D

    1. I usually wait a few weeks to see blockbuster movies to avoid the crowds, but when I heard that we were going to see this, I was all for it, no matter how packed the theater was going to be!

    1. It was a lot of fun! I'd always wanted to go to a midnight screening, and I'm so happy that I got to attend at least one for an HP movie.

    1. We were prepared to split up in the theater if we needed to because we are a pretty large group, but luckily, we all got to sit together. I loved all of the HP movies, but seeing this one was an extra special experience.

    1. Seeing an HP movie was always a big event for us. I think I might even still have some of my old movie ticket stubs tucked away somewhere, lol.
