Harry Potter Marathon: 22 hours of commentary
Somebody thought it would be a cool idea to watch all eight Harry Potter movies back to back in Lauren’s theater.
Turns out, it was the best worst idea we have had.
Sure, it was epic, but we were sitting in a dark room eating junk food and not sleeping for 22 hours. At the time it was fun, but then you had to stay awake and function the next day.
Being the diligent journalist I took notes of the witty and funny commets we made while watching the movies.
Philosophers Stone (yes, we watched the British version) December 28, 12:30
The legendary theme music starts the first movie: “I got a mental erection,” Matt said. “I got an actual hard-on,” Riley said.
We had a group discussion on which actor played the character of Dumbeldore better: “He (first actor) was such a better Dumbeldore,” Dana said. “Yeah! Then he had to go die,” Riley said.
Owls start to deliver an obscene number of acceptance letters to the house: “There must be so much owl shit around their house,” Evan said.
When Harry goes into Ollivanders to get a wand it sparks a conversation about when Riley went to the harry Potter theme park: “Did you get a wand there,” Aaron asked. “No. It chose me, duh,” Riley said.
When Ron is pissed because Heromine shows him up in class: “It’s okay you will bang her,” Ryan said.
Harry, Ron, Malfoy and Hermonie get detention for being out late: “God I will miss the screaming,” Fitch said (on the old punishment methods). “That’s what she said,” Brian said.
Chamber of Secrets 2:30 p.m.
When Harry catches Ginny looking at him: “Oh Ginny,” Riley said (in a Forest Gump voice).
Dumbledore’s Phoniex bursts into flames: “They (Phoniexs) are asexual,” Stevie said. “Then where did the first one come from,” Dana asked.
Again referenceing Forest Gump: “Follow the spiders, that’s all I have to say about that,” Hagrid said. “And that’s all I have to say about that,” Evan said (in a Forest Gump voice).
When they are down in the Chamber of Secrets: “How do they know where to go,” Riley asked. “They mapquested it,” Matt said.
Dumbledore announced finals were canclled because of all of the attacks: “Why doesn’t this happen at college?! -Dana
Prisoner of Azkaban 6 p.m.
Harry rides Buckbeak: “That’s so dangerous,” Brian said.
Dean Thomas has a line: “I can’t take him seriously, he’s not as good as his counterparts,” Riley said.
The scene when Professor McGongale wouldn’t let Harry go to Hogsmade:
“At least he has a nice hoodie,” Evan said. “He’s gotta stay fresh,” Riley said.
Goblet of Fire 9:30 p.m.
Cedric Diggory put his name into the Goblet: “No! Don’t do it! Arghhhhh!” -Dana
When Heromine got mad: “She is so hot when she is mad,” Brian said.
Before the second challenge:”Put that in your mouth,” Mad Eye said to Harry.”That’s what he said!” Riley said.
Order of the Phoniex December 29,12:00 p.m.
At the start of the movie: “Look Ginny is growing up,” Matt said. “She still doesn’t have boobs,” Dana said.
Luna Lovegood in the carriage on the way to go to school: “She is on LSD,” Brian said.
When Professor Umbridge talks at the first day feast:”I want to punch her in the face,” Brian said.
Ginny reduces the practice dummy at Dumbledore’s Army: “That’s the sexiest thing she has done,” Dana said.
Half-Blood Prince 2 a.m.
Most people took nap/ were too exhausted to make a snarky comment. Though Evan quoted a line verbatim right before it was said in the movie at 3 a.m. after the theater had been quite for a few hours.
Deathly Hollows pt.1 4:30 a.m.
When they were moving Harry to the safe house: “Those spells next to power lines, defiantly not safe,” Riley said.
Deathly Hollows pt. 2
At this point we were pretty delirious, and I can’t remember what sparked this gem: “Voldermort, kids? He didn’t have a penis,” Evan said.
