Snape, Snape, Severus Snape

Well, the HP 7.2 premiere happened over a month ago and I have yet to document it. Cam's going slightly nuts because it was possibly his most favorite day ever and if it's not on the blog, it's like I wasn't as excited about it. Although, that's probably partly true. It's hard to be as excited about Harry Potter as Cam. I think I do a pretty good job though! And, luckily, he found his hp soulmate. Someone who knows just as much mindless trivia as him and who gets jazzed up at the idea of embellishing random things with deathly hallows symbols: Allen. Just as luckily, I like Allen's wife more than just about anyone. :)

We decided to throw a bit of a party to kill time before the premiere. HP treats and a showing of HP 7.1 filled the night.



Naturally, the invitations were sent by owl. Cam and I made shirts. (Enter the awesomeness that is the silhouette + freezer paper. WOW!)

(I really wouldn't wear this shirt if I were going as "me." However, we were dressing up as Darth Vader and Princess Leia, so Leia would be sleazy...lol. It made sense to me!)

My adorable sister in law helped me make the mugs for butterbeer. The silhouette saved the day here too.

The spread.

Butterbeer Mugs. a.k.a. party favors.

Chocolate Frogs

Golden Snitches

My hot date with his SO GOOD butterbeer. Wow that stuff was incredible.

And then we left for the theater. Cam donned his mask and cape, and wielded his light saber. As soon as we walked through the door the crowd erupted into cheers! It was hilarious! We got our tickets and popcorn and went into our theater. Again, Cam walked through the door and people stood up and started singing the death march. Girls were asking to take pictures with him. We loved our costumes, but neither of us were expecting a reaction like that! Too fun.

We LOVED the movie. Laughed, cried, cheered, yelled at the screen. It was a blast. There's an energy at midnight showings that you don't get anywhere else. It's a blast.

Our friends' awesome shirts.

After the movie.

I have no idea how we didn't get a single picture with these guys. But they are some of our best friends.

LOVE THEM!

Harry Potter 7 part 1: Are YOU ready?

C and I are big fans of Harry Potter, and the first part of the 7th movie is coming out in November. You better believe that we're getting ticket to the midnight showing. Allow me to refresh your memory if you don't remember the midnight showing of the 6th:

We do the whole dress up, scar on the face, best seat in the house thing. That premiere was in July of 2009, summertime.

This premiere is in November. Which means it's going to be cold, and possibly snowy. And what do Hogwarts students do in the wintertime?

They wear scarves.

And just for a perk, what do Hogwarts students have?

They have owls. That is an OWL on my HAT that I KNITTED. Bammo. I'm thrilled. :) Pattern from here. :)

We're going to the midnight showing with our friends, the Heldts. We're each wearing a scarf with one of the house colors on it. C gets to be Gryffindor. I have to be Hufflepuff. And the Heldts are Ravenclaw and Slytherin. We are dorks. and we are OK with that. :) I now have to go about finding a way to make a yellow and black scarf less heinous. I'm thinking ochre will fix my problem...and perhaps I'll make the black optional? idk. Any ideas are more than welcome!
