Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

[Beate]

All those spoilers are annoying me - are they really necessary? I would have thought that 90% of the population knows the story anyway.

Am I the only who enjoyed the red carpet all the way? lol. Despite my hatred for Sky (oh cheers for the freebies btw) and my apparant hypocracy, I applaud Sky for making the effort to broadcast this before the main preview and in full. Isnt that a bonus? Sure many dont give a damn about it but many attendants are HP fans and will appreciate it and being the end of it all, I think it was fully justified. And this was all free. There is absolutely no point doing free previews of this film simply to get people to "spread the word". This film needs no spreading of the blasted word. This was supposed to be the end all of red carpets and everyone turned up this time, all the important crew and cast members attended all at once, which normally doesnt happen. I just wished they could have showed us the diagonal Alley that they appeared to have created in Leicester square!

But dont you care for the other 10%? I actually make it 0.5% btw but I still care about them! Its doesnt take a big effort to click on the spoiler tag. And the fact there is a an abundance of spoiler tag sends a clear message of our ettiquette and sets an example to others who may think twice about spoiling a film.

Honestly, Beate, I though you would champion the use of them rather than be annoyed with them. Why are they annoying? I dont understand It gave me an opportunity to get a lot of my thoughts of my chest.

I loved it too! I think I said earlier that if I hadn't got the free tickets I would've been sat at home watching the premiere anyway. The only thing that annoyed me was the constant moaning from the man sat next to me about how he didn't need to sit through all this rubbish.

I loved the red carpet footage. I loved the fact that we were being treated to something special. We were being included in one of the biggest movie premieres London has seen. It had the air of watching a royal event or something, and the fact that we were getting this free when some die-hard afficionados had apparantly camped for 3 days just to be there made this more of a bonus. Thumbs up to SKY. Cheers Rupert!

We did get to see Diagon Alley (from the air though) and really they should have made more of an effort with that. We could have had a drive through or something. I don't think it was there for our benefit, but if it was it was wasted. Anyone got any ground-level pics of it?

Yes Red Carpet was milked too much. The thank you's at the end went on far too long and ott. I kept thinking something was happening in the air the way they all kept looking up. Wished they could have done something for the fans who had waited soo long.

At my age I have the right to be grumpy.

I too liked the red carpet thingy it seemed a fitting end, shame about diagon alley and lack of photos so far, the only one I have come across is this one, if I find some more I shall post them here

I really wanted to see Diagon Alley but by the time I made to Leicester Sq after the O2 screening it had already been broken down Really fast considering that at that time the screenings in Leicester Sq hadn't even finished yet (it was still packed with fans waiting for the cast to come out of the cinema)
