I just came back from the Seattle premiere of the first part of the last episode of the Harry Potter saga, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, and I just loved it!
Usually, I never watch fantasy or science-fiction movies but Harry Potter is my must.
Like a lot of people in their early twenties, I grew up reading JK Rowling's books and going to see their adaptation on the big screen is always very meaningful to me as it reminds me of my teenagehood (I was an interesting mix between a tomboy and a top of her class - rebel, but not too much).
Maybe I was expecting more excitement from the audience for a premiere: only a few people had some make up on or wore gold and red scarves/capes and wands - it definitely must have been crazy in NYC and LA - but it didn't really matter because the movie itself was stunning, and I'm not saying that each time I see a Harry Potter movie. As a matter of fact, the previous one really disappointed me and I thought that the actors were directed so bad that everything seemed fake (or faker than the story already is!).
The movie, which is way darker and scarier than the previous ones, really captivated me and I never felt the impression of boredom growing in me.
After two and a half hours, my only thought was "how can I wait until July 2011 for THE end?????"

Really, can you imagine that we'll have to wait for more than EIGHT months until it's going to be released? I still can't...
