HP4... again

[tarotgal]

I wanted to go see RENT again, but my Dad felt like going to the movies, so I ended up taking my parents to see HP4 again. We went to see it at the theater that was just finished, just beyond the mall. It opened yesterday so everyone gets free popcorn when seeing a movie this weekend. Yay! That was nice. I never have the money to buy popcorn, so I never eat it there. It was a nice treat. The theater was nice- 16 theaters and its own connected parking deck! But the concessions (though huge) are not as nice as the place I usually go, and it's $0.50 more expensive. The place I like to go has two separate concession areas (one of which sells everything from candy to buffalo wings), a grand piano and comfy couches in the lobby, a separate dining area and gaming area, a director's hall for special showings, lots of computerized ticket machines so you can avoid lines, and shows during the day are $6.75. BUT sometimes they don't show all the movies I want to see (like Stay or Valient or Kingdom of Heaven) so hopefully (as they're run by different companies) this new place will have a better selection. It was neat to check it out today. And it was great to see HP4 again.

I still laughed. I still sobbed. I still loved it. And I noticed a number of things I missed the first time around. Working backwards, time-wise, 3 things I noticed this time around:

• Narcissa Malfoy. People said you could see her in the Death Eaters scene so I made a point to look for her second time around. It wasn't hard. There's a woman standing next to Lucius during nearly the entire scene after the demasking. She's got black hair (for some reason I always pictured her as a blond like son and husband but Sirius has black hair so it makes sense) and she's right there, easy to spot. So that was neat. I kept saying "Look! Cissy!" in my head during the scene, which totally destroyed the tension building... but I still cried when Ced and James and Lily came. *sob*
  
• After the second task, Seamus brings towels and wraps them around Harry and then rubs him warm and keeps his hand on Harry for, like, the entire scene. At least until Hermione arrives and gives him another towel. Heh heh. Go Seamus. *thinks slashy thoughts*
  
• In the up-beat dance scene during the ball, Crabbe, from behind, jumps onto one of the Durmstrang boys' backs. Heehee. First Draco Malfoy in his trousers and now he's humping boys in public? Goodness! *thinks especially slashy thoughts*
  

I also paid more attention to Viktor's boy toy (loved when he pounded his fists on Viki's chest) and, obviously, watched Cedric very closely. My GODS I'm in love with him. I love how humble he is... but also how much he really wants to bring honor to his house and school by winning the cup. I love the way he jumps into his friends' arms and lies about with them on the grounds. I love how nice and friendly and fair he is. I just love the boy.
