Harry Potter

So after watching the NKOTB webcast I got ready and ventured to the metro. I decided to go find the Galleria and go to the cinema to see the newest Harry Potter film. I love the books and the movies so was very excited to go.
One of the teachers I work with drew me this great, very helpful map to help me find the Galleria and Cinema once I got off the Metro. Thanks Mandi-because the map was super helpful and fear that without it I may have gotten lost but easily found my way thanks to the map.
I now know where an Indian Place is, TGI Fridays, the Galleria, the Cinema and Outback-YAY!!!
The Cinema is on the 8th floor of the Galleria and on each floor you get off the esclator and then get on the next esclator and so on.
So I go the ticket counter and 2 people cut in front of me and get helped first. This is quite common here. I get up to the counter and am like Harry Potter and hold up 1 finger to let her know I just need one ticket. She gets out a seating chart to show where my seat will be-here you get a reserved seat at the cinema-you do not just sit anywhere.
The movie starts at 16:30-4:30 and it is like 3:10 so decide to go explore the Galleria a bit and maybe look for a new bra.
Find a few bars but they are very pricey and more than what I want to spend so after looking for a bit I go find and bathroom and then head to theatre 5 to see Harry Potter.
Thanks to the seating chart I easily find my seat and the aisles have numbers in English and Korean so it is pretty easy to find.
The preview start about 5 minutes or so after I sit down and about 5 minutes later the movie starts.
Ok I do not want to ruin the movie for anyone who is reading this that wants to see it but has not yet. So will try to keep spoilers to a minimum.
As a person who has read all the books I always compare the books to the movies which is bad I know. This movie I think was more different from the book than any the other films has been but not in a bad way-just different.
The special effects were just amazing as always and Daniel Radcliffe is such the perfect Harry Potter-he proves that movie after movie-how great he is in that role.
Each book and movie gets a bit darker and more sad and knew because of the book that something very sad was going to happen near the end-knew exactly what it was so thought I will be ok and not cry.
Nope-I balled my eyes out near the end of the movie-I looked around and was not the only one crying so I felt better.
Overall it was an excellent movie and I was very impressed and highly reccomend it.
I am so happy I got to see it and now know where the Cinema is in the future if I want to go to a movie.
