Dana, Blair, Rachel Mooney, Andrew Jones, and I went to see a midnight showing of Harry Potter last night. Great fun was had by all. I had two hot dogs, a coke, and most of a package of Twizzlers, and consequently am feeling mildly hungover today. Although that might also be due to the fact that we got to bed around 3:30 am.
I really enjoyed the movie, although it was my least favorite so far. This Slate review describes what was good but not great about it much more eloqently than I ever could. For the first time ever, I actually agree with pretty much everything Dana Stevens has to say.
"
The whole Hogwarts faculty is so beautifully cast, it reinforces the American impression that in Britain great actors must be piled up on the side of the road in heaps."
