Harry Potter Marathon: Live Blogging


So today and tomorrow I'm marathoning all 8 Harry Potter movies with my friends, and I don't want to spend a big chunk of time blogging while my friends are here, so instead I will be LIVE BLOGGING the marathon!!  SO EXCITINGG.

I'll be checking in after every movie, so keep coming back every few hours for updates!  Or just read this whole thing on Monday after the marathon is over.  Whatever floatsyaboat.

8:20 PM-We're about halfway through the Chamber of Secrets and we've been at it for four hours.  Crazy!


Elise, Tori, and Alexis all got here first and we started watching the movie without Meredith, who got off of work late.



We spent some time eating McNuggets (Alexis brought SIXTY CHICKEN NUGGETS) and teasing the dog.  Somehow we managed to make it through forty nuggets between the four of us.


Meredith showed up towards the end of the Sorcerer's Stone with HOMEMADE PUMPKIN JUICE.  O M G this stuff is so good.  We still have a little bit left, but probably not for long.  Mmmmm.

Since we've seen these first few movies so many times, we've been spending most of the time eating and chatting...though we did try our hands at speaking parseltongue.  Soon enough we'll be fluent...just like Voldy!

UPDATE: 9:26 PM

We just finished the Chamber of Secrets and can't afford to waste any time, so Prisoner of Azkaban is already running.  Over the course of the second movie, we decided that:

1.) Cat Hermione (Purrmione, if you will) was the worst visual representation of the movie.
2.) The Chamber of Secrets was the best visual representation in the movie.
3.) Young Tom Riddle is pretty hot (3 against 1, sorry Meredith) and yeah...if that's what Voldemort looked like, I totally would have become a Death Eater.

McNugget Status: There are about 15 nuggz left...all cold and soggy.  Yummmm.

MORE FUN TO COME.

UPDATE: 11:41 PM

Just finished Prisoner of Azkaban and have already started the fourth movie.  Tori asked me who my favorite Harry Potter character is and I had to spend a little bit of time diggin' deep down to figure it out.  I think the verdict was that my favorite character from the movies is Luna, but my favorite from the book is Ron.  I think.  It might change tomorrow.

The one thing we talked about being frustrating in the third movie is that for a really long time, not much happens...and then all of a sudden EVERYTHING HAPPENS.  Like boring boring boring OH WAIT YOU'RE A WEREWOLF...BUT THAT RAT IS A HUMAN...AND THE DOG IS A MURDERER WAIT NO HE'S NOT A MURDERER AAAAAND NOW WE'RE TIME TRAVELING.  It's too cray.

McNugget Status: Slightly fewer nuggos left...but they are still the same amount of gross as they were during the last movie.  Womp womp.

UPDATE: 1:57 AM

Dumblydore make sad speech.  I tired.

Zzzzzzzzzzz

UPDATE: 9:28 AM

Just popped in Order of the Phoenix, but not before making a quick run to Dunkin Donuts for some breakfast!

This is all of our least favorite movie...so we'll see how much of this one we actually pay attention to.

McNugget Status: We had like ten nuggles left which sat out overnight...oops.  But the dog ate all of them while were at Dunkin.  So WE SUCCESSFULLY FINISHED 60 NUGGLETS GO US!!!

UPDATE: 11:42 AM

We just finished Order of the Phoenix and started the sixth movie.

There is some SASSY FABULOUSNESS in movie numba five.  Mainly from Voldy and Dumblydore.  It almost makes up for all the angst.

We did manage to control ourselves by only rewinding to see this image of Voldy JUST ONCE:

BLAHHH.  Hehehe.

Last time we re-watched it for like a full half hour.  One re-watch is an accomplishment for us.  So proud.

UPDATE: 2:09 PM

We FINALLY MADE IT to the Deathly Hallows!!  Meredith and Alexis peace'd out early for work and errands, but both of them are planning to return before the afternoon is over.  And Brooke showed up!!  Meredith was glad to skip out on the sixth movie, since it's her least favorite...but Tori and I both love it.  Not sorryyyy

I decided that my patronus would be a pizza.  And then I ordered a pizza.  Mmmm.

UPDATE: 4:27 PM

DOBBY HAS NO MASTER.  DOBBY IS A FREE ELF.

UPDATE: 6:40 PM

WE DID IT.

Voldemort is dead, Harry Potter's kids are on the train to Hogwarts, all my friends have gone home, and all the food has been EATEN.

Tori and I managed to get through all eight movies without going insane, and we're pretty dang proud of ourselves for it.  Today we watched 9 and a half hours of movies, and yesterday we watched even more than that.  Is there some kind of award for sitting still that long?  There definitely should be.

WOOHOO AND ALL WAS WELL.
