Harry Potter - The End of an Era

Okay, I'm a nerd. Big time. I admit it.

My sister and I went to our very last Harry Potter premiere this past Thursday night. We have been to every premiere there was available, and have at least seen every movie the day it came out. Here are just a couple of fun shots to remember....

Our evening started with 5 hours of waiting in line outside the theater. We were kept busy by the Chic Fil A cows who handed out coupons for free sandwiches. Hooray! We also had water balloons thrown at us by lame people who don't know how to appreciate a good nerd fest.

This picture was actually taken after the movie was over, and we are super tired. Can you see what my shirt says? It says "Expecto-ing!" Ha ha ha. My sister made it for the last premiere when she was pregnant with her daughter, then I made it a bit more readable and added some pizzaz with the lightning bolt over the belly button. Once during the night I tripped on a curb and fell down, and people freaked out! That was fun :)

Yup, our 3D glasses were shaped like Harry Potter's. We look like total dorks.

I'm so bummed we don't have pictures from Deathly Hallows Part 1, but here are some other past HP pictures for your enjoyment:

These are from the Goblet of Fire Premiere. We made our scarves and I think we were a little overly proud of them....

For the fifth movie, I decided to actually throw a party. I made a big taco bar and even bought an ice cream cake decorated with Harry Potter decorations (which I still have). The sad thing is that nobody came except for my sisters. I was super bummed, but we had a good time any ways.

Movie 6 Premiere - Now this is just where things get REALLY goofy...

Of course I have to include a couple of pictures from when we visited the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida last summer...

I'm sad that it's all over, but I need to admit that I'm getting old and it's harder to stay up until 3am watching a movie. Thanks for everything, Harry Potter.
