We very nearly didn't see Order of the Phoenix this evening: we went the the theater, bought tickets, sat through the ads and previews, and then, where there ought to have been a movie, there was a big blurry mess. After abut five minutes of that we learned that even if they could fix the picture, they couldn't restart the movie (why on earth not? I mean, aside from the fact that the theater was run by teenagers?), so we got our money back, I yelled at the manager, and we walked over to the other movie theater and saw it there. All through the ads and previews, we were on the edge of our chairs, though, sure that something would go wrong; and about two-thirds of the way through there was a blip with the sound, but other than that it was OK.
( as for the film itself... )
And EEEE! Potterdammerung approaches! I am finally getting excited about that; maybe I will reread HBP this week, to catch up.
So all in all, it was worth the hassle.

Afterward the movie, we went to a pretty good Brazilian and Mexican restaurant -- with two-for-one margaritas, although they were quite weak compared to my mother's. (Mom starts each margarita with three shots of tequila, and then there's the Controy and lime juice, in some lesser quantities. One makes you happy; two make you go to sleep.)

musesfool, I am pleased to see that hossgal and I are not alone in our belief that Dean was meant to be in Hufflepuff (our conversation was here, back in November of last year); and I maintain now, as I maintained then, that John can best be understood as Hufflepuff Gone Bad.

Also on the way to the restaurant, BH pointed out the striking resemblance between Hermione Granger (or I suppose, Emma Watson?) and one of his students.
Me: Wasn't she the girl I had the very long, very drunk, very earnest conversation about lesbianism with?
Him: Yes, but if you got Hermione really, really drunk, isn't that exactly the conversation she would have?
Me: I bet one of my friends has written that.
Have you? Presumably, with the sex scene as well.
