Harry Potter and stupid people

Daniel and I went to watch Harry Potter the day after Thanksgiving. We had thought about reading the book before in preparation, but decided to just watch the other movies instead. We knew that if we had read the book we would be disappointed in the movie. And I'm glad, because we loved the movie. When we were buying our tickets, the lady wanted to know how old I was since the movie was PG-13. I don't know whether that's a complement or an insult!

We arrived 40 min early to make sure we got a good seat. We were the first to arrive, and it didn't take long before people started piling in. About 2 mins to start, a group of 7 walk in looking for seats together. We had 5 seats to the right of us, and so they came up to us and told us to move because they had a lot of people to fit in. I was so annoyed. The front 2 rows were completely empty, and it's not my fault they arrived late with a big group. So we got up, and found two other seats together a row back. It was ridiculous!

I would have been so irritated. I have never asked someone to move before. When Alex and I went we had two people behind us talking and telling what was going to happen next. Luckily the person by us told them to Shut up! really loud. We laughed but we're really grateful.

P.S. I thought the movie was a lot like the book.

That would be really obnoxious. You Should have sat right behind them and then "accidentally" kicked their seats and spilled soda on the floor by their feet. ;) But I did like the movie. Mostly.

Hi Belinda! Just so you know I do check your blog but don't always write. Joseph and I are in Virginia now!
By the way I would have said to those people that if they wanted us to move they could ask politely and the correct way and then I might consider moving. But that's just me.
I'm glad to see that you and Daniel and doing well and are happy. Merry Christmas!

Okay, its totally hilarious that they checked your age. It's definately a compliment! I can't wait to see the movie, and you are way too nice for moving. I guess that's what us nice people do :)
