So Cal Harry Potter Fans

[stacyp]

Group activity anyone?

Jasun and I are pretty much on for going to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 together, but thought it would be a fun thing to include all So Cal or surrounding area HP fans too.

I am not sure exactly what day or time, I have actually never seen a Harry Potter movie in theaters. From what I understand it is crazy on opening night, so I am thinking we wait. But I am up for the challenge if anyone wants to try for it.

HP opens November 19 and is in IMAX which would be a great experience. There are a handful of IMAX theaters in this area and once I have an idea of how many people would like to be involved I will find the perfect spot to meet.

OK enough jabbering. Who's in?

Where are you guys planning on seeing it? I'd love to go if you guys don't mind. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan...I forgot how soon the premiere was!

No set plans yet Jon. I am working on logistics right now. But keep coming back to this thread and I'll have information updated whenever it's set.

I'll try to set out a full plan by the beginning of next week.

Alright, sounds good. I'm assuming it'd be in the Los Angeles area, and I'm coming from Carlsbad, so I just wanted to gauge how far exactly I'd be driving. I'm not too familiar with anywhere but Orange County, but I think I'll be okay with my GPS. I'll be sure to check the thread for your posts.

Alright my peeps, here's a plan to consider.

Dinner and a movie at the Arclight in Sherman Oaks.

Dinner choices:

Cheesecake Factory or PF Changs

Movie somewhere between 9 and 10 pm

Saturday, November 20

Any takers?

Here is the Web site for the Sherman Oaks Galleria. Where the restaurants and movie theater are located.

Thanks for the update, Stacy.

I think I should be able to make it as long as I can perhaps stay the night at my sister's. I don't think I'd be up to drive the two hours home from Sherman Oaks that late at night after the movie. I'll get back to you once I figure out if my sister can have me.

... I am not sure exactly what day or time ...

I will be seeing HP7.1 at 12:01 am on November 19, then driving an hour and a half home to get to sleep to get to work the next morning.

Be true HP fans and fandango some tickets and goto a midnight show!

That's only little over 3 miles from where I live now.....hummm should we?

Hi peoples.

This meet is happening in 11 days, and the theater is open to pre-purchase tickets for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.

Here is the theater Web site https://www.arclightcinemas.com/ArcLight/faces/Home.jsp

I have purchased my tickets (needed to get handicapped seats before I was unable to get them) for the 10:20PM showing at the Arclight Sherman Oaks on Saturday November 20.

Please let me know if you have any questions. And please RSVP to me by Friday November 12 so that I know how many people are attending and can make reservations at a place to eat!

[stacyp]

Just a reminder that I have not heard from anyone regarding this meet.

I'll extend the dinner RSVP period to next Friday seeing as this is Los Angeles and nobody can make a decision that isn't last minute

[JayHawk]

Glad you extended. i still have no clue if I can make it. The 'sometimes' better half doesnt wanna go to LA and meet JUBbers <shrug>. Not real keen on a late night cruise back to Sandy Eggo. I don't have Jon's sister to use as a hostel either...


I really wanna do it though so we will see....

Well you know I'm in. Should I buy my tickets now?

I think it might be a good idea to get tickets ahead of time, but that's just me. It isn't as easy for me to just sit anywhere...

I feel better knowing I have a ticket to get in. It didn't look filled up when I ordered but that was last week.

[dy2008]

Did you guys end up seeing the movie? I'm thinking of seeing it on Saturday, was it good?

[JasunStrikesBack]

We did... and it was fantastic.

nice dinner, some new friends... had a great night.

[stacyp]

The movie was great. As was the company.

I think all of us that went have said we'd see it again. And SOME of us *cough* Jasun *cough* saw it two nights in a row

[dy2008]

Haha nice I had a chance to see it a couple days ago but I think i'll be fine just paying to see it once ;P

I still need to finish reading the 5th and 6th books... for some reason I skipped em
