Alright, hear me out. I used to be a HUGE fan - you know, the kind that was a stickler for detail and would get upset if it was quoted incorrectly. Then HP became huge and I guess I just did the hipster thing and got bored of it...until we had tickets for the premiere.
I'd never been to a premiere before! I mean, I have, but every one I've been to has been because someone else wanted to go see Terminator: Salvation or Green Lantern and it happened to be midnight. This was my first (and hopefully not last) opportunity to dress up and be a dork with a bunch of other dorks who love being dorks.
And FABULOUS it was! First let me say, if you have never heard of A Very Potter Musical, you are missing out. Allow me to direct you to the hilarity that is Starkid:
It may take some time. I'll wait.
Awesome. Let me continue.
Roomie and I went as Ron and Draco from AVPM (she even had the blue headband and the sword of Godric Gryffindor). It was a blast. In A Very Potter Sequel - you can watch that one later - Draco draws Harry a picture very much like this:
"Do you see what's happening to you in it? You're getting hit by a quaffle.
Don't you feel foolish?"
And so I drew one and brought it with me. Every Potter I saw, I would run up and quote the musical at him. "Potter! Potter! Potter! Hey! Hey Potter! I drew a picture of you." Ah, I may have mostly been amusing me and myself - I mean, my friends - but I found it highly entertaining.
We entered the theatre plenty early, so I continued being ridiculous (or should I say ridikkulus!) Hahaa...
By this I mean rolling around on the ground and yelling about pigfarts.
If you skipped the movie, now would be a good time to watch this shorter clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUU9CxWUg3c&feature=related that will help you judge me just that much less.
Here comes the best part: After this, a random chick came up to me and told me how much she loved my costume ($5 at a thrift store and a bit of scissor work to make a robe, aka, not amazing) and that she had a Slytherin scarf that no one she knew would want. She offered it to me, and I found this awesome.
But do you know what's really awesome? When I got back into the light, I realized it's official Harry Potter merchandise!
Awww yeah.
And this is why my night was epicly awesome.
