Anyone care to join me?

Due to lack of response, this has been postponed again. How about y’all let me know when you’re free?

Wow. WOW.

I personally loved it. I was disappointed with the removal/addition of a few scenes (and characters!), but I think I can safely say this is probably one of my favourite movies of the series (we all know #3 wins, hands-down!).

So, who wants to share their thoughts? Movie/Book Spoilers are in the comments, people, so don’t go clicking if you don’t wanna know.

Comment here or at the LIVEJOURNAL ENTRY.

Most of you are in the know already, but here’s the low-down:

15 July 2009, Southbank Cinemas: 10:00am

There has been no official release of the Showing Times at Southbank, but it’s a safe bet to say it’ll be around 10 in the morning. I’d strongly suggest buying tickets online (when they become available – still no luck on the site). If I know you and you don’t have access to a Credit Card etc to purchase your tickets, please let me know and I will arrange to buy yours for you. If I buy your ticket and you do not come along, I’ll still need your money. FYI

Costumes are entirely optional, so don’t feel pressured. I’m feeling rather lazy this year myself, so I won’t be dressing up

Feel free to comment here or at the Livejournal Entry!

FYI, for those that aren’t able to make the first session, Kate has organised a Meetup Group event at 8pm at Balmoral Cinemas. dienacht may also be planning a night-time event if she is unable to take the time off work, but I’m sure she’ll let y’all know when she finds out!

Tickets have officially gone on sale today at Greater Union. Is anyone interested in taking the Wednesday (15 July) off of work/uni/whatever to go see the movie?

There’s an 11:00am session at the Regent, and a 10:00am session at the Myer Centre. There’s been no times announced yet for Southbank Cineplex Cinemas. Alternatively, we could go to the ‘burbs and watch it in Gold Class

Anyone keen?

We’re starting with a later time this weekend – 3:00pm. At the moment having the meetup on the first weekend of the month is easier to remember, so it will stay as is for now. This may be discussed more in future, though.

What recurring day/time would suit you best? First Sunday? Last Sunday? Saturdays?

Since new Harry Potter sources are few and far between, we’re also widening the discussion at Holly & Phoenix to include other fantasy movies, books, tv series etc. Yes, that includes Twilight. Even WE have a love/hate relationship with it.

Another great idea, and potential source for lively discussion, is the inclusion of a bookclub or recommended reading list. There are lots of great fantasy books out there, and quite a good deal of Australian fantasy authors waiting to be re-discovered.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on both issues.

EDIT/UPDATE

Please note that we will not be having a meetup this weekend. We will wait for feedback before scheduling the next one.

Same bat time, same bat place.
