"What do you know about the Deathly Hallows?"




Ron, Dobby, Hargid, Crooksanks, Katie Bell and Moaning Mrtyle!

 

Living in Europe defintiely has its ups and pluses. One of which where we definitely reaped the European benefits had to do with Harry Potter. Yup, this is the beauty of living in Europe! :) haha We saw the first part of Harry Potter 7 a whole 14 hours before anyone at home could have! So what do we do? We officially make ourselves a part of the wizarding world. With the clothes and material we could conjure up, and combined all of our resrouces to make some of the sweetest costumes ever! (Even with these limited resources!) Everyone became a different character or object from the movie: we had Harry, Ron, Hermione, Malfoy, Ginny, Cho Chang, Hagrid, Bellatrix, Sirius Black, Dobby, Crookshanks, Tonks, the Patil twins, Fleur Delacor, Moaning Mrytle, Lavendar Brown, Katie Bell (that was me!), and even the golden snitch, a Nimubs 2001 as well as a Firebolt!!

Adorned in our fabulous costumes, we went to Theology class. Fr. Stefanos got a complete kick out of all of us. It felt just like Halloween all over again! Right after class, with wands and broomsticks in hand, we walked to TGI Friday's for dinner. Never have I gotten more weird looks from other people than we did on this night. People were laughing and some actually made confused faces at us. The thing is though, Harry Potter is not even close to as popular as it is at home. We went the night that it opened (no midnight premiere) and the whole theater wasn't even full. That made me really miss home and all the excitement there is to be had there, especially since this is the last one. Everyone is so enthusiastic and excited with anticipation. At least the 30 of us were here for it though! It was fabulous to celebrate this momentous occasssion with these amazing other 29 individuals! After a delicious (and yes, I know, American) dinner, we made our way to the movie theater. The group of us reminded me of little kids on Halloween! We were quite the sight, especially since we were the only ones that dressed up for this once in a lifetime event!

The whole gang at dinner!





Fleur, Malfoy, Patil Twins, Dobby, Katie Bell and Luna

 Holy Harry! This movie is definitely the best one yet! ( I feel I say that every time a new comes out, but they are all just that good!) Can I just say incredible?! I could have sat through part two right then and there! I did not want this movie to end!! Oh, and P.S. I love Ron Weasley.

I have come to love our group soo much over these past three months. I could not have imagined celebrating Harry Potter with anyone else in Greece! They have very much become a family to me. For all of us to go out dressed up to a movie and all be in the same point of excitement?! It just doesn't get much better than that!

I love Harry Potter
