musicmommy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 On Wednesday afternoon, I fell and sprained my ankle. After the nice doctor told me it wasn't broken, but that I did need to stay off it completely for a few days with ice and elevation, I had no idea what to do with my time. Talk about bored. Thursday afternoon, dh came home and said that Harry Potter and Cowboys and Aliens was playing at the drive in. Since my parents took our youngers so I could have a break, we could take the oldest with us. He's been wanting to see the last movie. So....I've never seen a single Harry Potter movie. I don't know how that happened exactly, but there I was. We started the first one at 6:00 on Thursday evening. Finished the movies here at home at 6:30ish Friday evening. Just in time to head out to the theater and see number 7. I enjoyed the movies, but boy, was I tired of that theme song! Oh, and I got quite a bit of knitting and cross stitching done. I wouldn't recommend this method to everyone though...:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnsinkableKristen Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 That sounds SO NICE. I wonder if I could get my MIL to watch the kids while I watched all the movies and then went to see the last one again..... maybe if I called it a Teacher In Service Day??? :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 What a fun 30 hours! :D I would love to do that. We've done something similar with these series and with Star Wars - seeing one episode every Sunday or so. We've seen them all the Harry Potters a few times and we saw the last one while we were in London. Absolutely love these movies. Ds was devastated that we couldn't make it to the premiere. But we got to go to Platform 9 3/4 (not a real platform, more like a wallpaper-covered bit of wall :lol:) and we went to Number 4 Privet Drive, which was nice. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiegirl Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Wow, I am impressed! We are doing a similar thing but our version is much more spread out. We are watching the movies on TV every Sat. night. We just watched #5 this past weekend. I know that we will not ever see the last two this way but I think I can live with it. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwickimom Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I did that 2 weeks ago while my kids were gone. SO fun! I had never seen one of the movies either....now I am dying to go to the movies and see the last one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I think that would be fun! And I can't imagine getting tired of the theme song. It's my ringtone on my phone - the only ringtone I actually paid for so I could get the right sound. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom25girls Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 How odd to see this discussion today. We watched them in the past two weeks. Actually, we watched the last one at the theatre last night!!!! I'm so sad that they're over!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Now time for extended versions of LOTR, the Back to the Future trilogy, the six-hour Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth - hey, you could do a complete Austen dvd day!!!! We have the same exact taste :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
