What’s the point in seeing a movie if you don’t first act out scenes in the lobby?
That’s what I always say at least.
Yet, for some reason, my friends don’t agree.
Before seeing the new Harry Potter movie last night, I coerced my friends into play wand fighting.
Which, on my end, quickly devolved into hysterical laughter.
Jeff and Meredith, however, were not amused.
I’d end with a spell
But I can’t remember any
And I’m far too lazy to google,

p.s. Did you notice Lindsey’s shirt? She’s the coolest of us all.
The Harry Potter Pantomime

You people are way cooler than I am. Seriously.
So…..
Which was better? The lobby shenanigans or the movie? Hee.
Hey, I fake Internet know you and you’re cool yourself! And really, just embrace public embarrassment and the rest comes easy.
It’s my one secret to life.
I still haven’t gotten to see it
What are you waiting for?
Go!
LOL!! A great idea I think! Love the pics..and the face of your two friends who look slightly mortified..hahaha brilliant!
If there’s anything I’m good at, it’s embarrassing others!
That and eating cheese.
But that’s a whole different topic.
Yes, loved the tshirt and the friends who appear not to be enjoying the antics as much as everyone else. If I was in that lobby, I’d just assume you were all drunk. We saw the movie and I forgot it was a part 1 – ugh, hate waiting.
I’d forgotten too! Got to the end was like, oh…
And people often assume I’m drunk. But nope, that’s just awkward.
If I just looked at the pics & didn’t read the post I would think you all were dancing
Wand fighting is much more exciting than random outbursts of disco.
And much more fitting if you are waiting to see a Harry Potter movie.
I want to see it but I think I will wait until I can watch it at home. That way I can bury my head in my husband’s shoulder or a couch pillow when Voldemort comes on the screen. He is scary like no other.
Random outbursts of disco happen all the time – wand fighting is special!
And it was quite scary. I kept having to close my eyes and imagine myself in normal daily scenes to stop from screeching!
Ha, the wand scene in the lobby looks like fun. What a way to wait for the tickets.
And ohmygod I love your shoes in the pics! They’re cute! (Sorry, I’m a shoe girl, I always notice these things. I’m weird.)
Thanks – they’re new and I’m trying to wear them everyday to prepare for this weekend (NYC walking)!
I love your dress almost as much as I love the look on Jeff and Meredith’s faces.
Thanks! I got it on clearance last week and was so excited to wear it! (I feel as though I should make a joke. But nope, got nothing. Just an awesome dress.)
Love Lindsey’s shirt–it was the first thing I noticed
That’s obviously because you’re an intelligent, observant reader.
Wow, I’m a bit of a suck-up tonight!
(Also? You’re real pretty.)
Lindsey is the coolest, even though I don’t know what that shirt means.
She really is – and don’t worry. Someone asked what it meant at dinner and I confidently answered.
But I was totally wrong.
NERDS!
NERDS!
OMG- let’s hang out.
I’m in.
Harry Potter is awesome. Why not make the most of it? Wand play in the lobby seems perfectly sensible to me.
Stopping in from SITS.
Exactly!
Now to convince my friends… and the other people in that lobby!
So basically I wish I was there with you. Even though I don’t know you. I don’t care. Harry Potter Rules. Bottom Line.
Harry Potter brings all people together.
It’s like we’re all in a Coke commercial.
In that last pic, you look like a tween who just picked up the undergarment of a heartthrob: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Okay, I had to read this three times before realizing you weren’t suggesting I was holding a human heart. So… I might be tired.
Or just not that bright.
Hard to tell, really.
But there were so many spells in the movie! What about lumos, expelliarmus, accio, or expecto patronum?
I take credit for convincing Lindsey to wear that shirt!
Sigh.
Darn you and your fantastic memory, making me look the fool!
Hey there Megan
You guys look like your having a blast, did the movie live up to the wand fights in the lobby & have your friends forgiven y’all for their embarrassment – these are the real cliff hangers I reckon 
Cheers
Chef Anna
PS: Thanks for visiting my site
Oh, my friends are used to being embarrassed by me – I don’t ask for forgiveness anymore! And the movie was great, but really, could anything live up to wand fights?
Fun times! I do believe my two children would love to go the movies with you. They love their sweatered dogs about as much as going to the movies. They are crazy about Harry Potter.
This isn’t the first time it’s been suggested I act like a child. But probably the sweetest way yet!
Really – who isn’t crazy about Harry Potter?
(Oh, most people?)
(Nevermind then)
Maybe Jeff and Meredith just needed some more drinks before they could get into it. Play wand fighting in a public place, reenacting a famous movie, is not for the faint of heart. (Pssst – they probably wouldn’t last long in the Deathly Hallows. Just sayin.)
Also, I had to Google Lindsay’s shirt. I’m probably more nerd than geek.
If nerd means you actually know stuff, then I’m definitely more geek. But I still incorrectly remembered what Lindsey’s shirt meant, shaming myself at dinner.
And that’s what we forgot – drinks! Silly, silly us.
i love how you’re all glammed up to see it, too. you always have a good time, megan!
Well, yes.
Aren’t movie theaters the airports of today?
(You know, ’cause people used to dress up to go to airports?)
(Anyone?)
I want to play wands but for some reason that sounds dirty.
Oh, I’ll play wands with you whenever you want.
If you know what I mean.
You couldn’t just end with “Imperio”. Lol.
Also, I need that Horcrux shirt. I need it like I need blood and air.
See, had you been with me when I was writing that post, it would have all come together perfectly!
1. I want her shirt
2. I would totally play wand fight in the lobby while waiting to see Harry Potter
3. I have no hope of actually getting to see it in the theater any time soon
4. Can we have a wand fight anyway?
1. She has surprisingly weak upper body strength. But don’t tell her I told you.
2. Duh – everybody has wand fighting within them.
3. That’s sad for you. Except it was a terrible theater experience filled with swearing teenagers and crying babies. So maybe you’re lucky.
4. Meet me behind the Internet tomorrow at 5pm. It’s on.
Looks like y’all had so much fun!!!
Embarrassed fun is the best fun to have!
You and your friends crack.me.up.
And I TOTALLY want that shirt, even though I haven’t even read Harry Potter.
They crack me up too – that’s why I keep them.
And I loved it before I remembered what it meant, so I completely understand!
WANT.
wantwantwantwant.
The t-shirt obviously.
Although your friends look pretty covet-worthy, too.
No – mine!
I mean the shirt of course. Lindsey just doesn’t know it yet.
The friends you can have.
(Just kidding) (Depending on what you’re offering.)
I love it! Have to have fun at Harry Potter movies!
Exactly! Sadly, that’s also what the 2 screaming babies thought.
At least, I assume they were having fun.
Babies like to scream right? I mean, I’m assuming that’s why they do it so often.
I’m going to be a fantastic mother.
