*expression of interest* as long as it doesnt clash with d&d that night

*expression noted* :)

just bring the dice to the cinema :D

*probes my face* no go for me I am too swollen and sore still. I would probably fall asleep in the cinema being all doped up and what not.

I would have gone, damnit, I would have gone in costume to! But i'm up here in Broome!

*sob*

Sone please take photos!

I"m taking my cane to the the movie up here in broome anyway. I got told off at work for having the dark mark on my arm :P

I am going, and I am going in costume. W00t!

who are you going as?

I have a gryffindor uniform was tailor made for me in Indo.

Hey Lady D, did u go under general... coz thats really fun ;)

I went to go see it just then. WOOO!. I still have the dark mark on my arm! lol. I might wear it to work tomorrow just to scare people.

have fun peeps.

And I wons! I wons the cosplay! :P Out of... four people XD

I was out cold. Good night and wake up unable to see, feel properly and in a world of pain.

Did you take photos! please tell me you took photos!

We should start a cosplay thread!

yes well done Strawberi :) Looked really good I thought.

In fact I'm not sur anyone took photos which is ashame.

Think the movie had less interest than expected. I think the more installments there is the lower the interest.

Anyway was all good :)

The next movie is planned to be released November the 21st.

You're right about the lack of interest, but it still clocked 12 mil in the states first night.

They did a good job considering the size of the book. the characterisation was a lot better than the previous, less humor. the special effects were nice :)

Kimmi got photos with his phone, but only of me. I want a photo of the person who was the hippogriff, lol!

And yeah, considering it was my least favourite book, they did a good job with the movie. Honestly I think it's just lack of geek interest, or perhaps knowledge of the screening, because while the cinema may have been half empty, every hoyts screening is fully booked out for the next few days.

No spoilers please. Some of us have wait until we can see it. People like me.

How can there be spoilers?
We've all read the books, and your bro already ruined it 4 u. lol.

Did I mention anything at all other than it was good.

Ok ok Jess, just for you.

OMG Sirius dies! XD

*sigh* I cried when i read that in the books. I was like OMG my rp character on TMM dies! WTF get stuffed!

Actually it was more me just going wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I liked him! Waahhhhhhhh He was cool! Waahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


Sigh.

*cough* I laughed in the theatre.

He annoyed me. But I find it strange that it was Bella that killed him. They were cousins and blood is thicker than water.

Apparently except when arguing about pure blood, half blood and muggle born.

It doesn't surprise me that you laughed. It is you after all.

You killed me. Sigh.

Bella is nutso. Nuff said. She has gone the way of the cackle.

still, bonus points for those (females) that up and applauded when Sirius burst in snarling "get your hands off my bloodson"

Here is the summary of the Harry Potter Competitions

Summary of the Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenis screening.

Once again we had Reading Cinemas Staff Judging the Harry Potter Best Costume Prize. Thanks to both Shelley and Kalise for their judging :)

Our Overall winner was
Samantha James - decked out in a fantastic grifindor uniform.
She has won the latest GenghisCon T-shirt for her troubles.

Our runners up were:
Shelley McCaw - full hippogriff costume - very impressive
Adam McCaw (our previous Cos-play winner)
Nick Bannon
who all got free movie passes for their efforts.

The Door Prize went to:
Lyall Stewart
who got a free Harry Potter book from our Sponsors White Dward Books.

Thanks once again to all who attended our screening and those who entered out competitions.

- It seemed to be a huge grossing film still so guess didn't get enough people noticing about it for the screening we held. Well we still got a decent turn out just not as much as the other films we had run previously. Anyway I'm sure everyone is enjoying the spoiler shenanigans that are going on around the final book at the moment :)
