Get your popcorn, jumbo cola, and Milk Duds at the ready! The Corner Booth is hosting the first of four Harry Potter movie nights beginning Friday, October 26th at 8 p.m. EST. Starting with the classic “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” join your fellow Corner Booth movie-goers who will watch the film together providing a text-style “film commentary” relating their favorite moments and observations. All you need to participate is the “Sorcerer’s Stone” DVD, so be sure not to miss this awesome event!

Three more movie night showings are planned in the lead up to the “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” US DVD release on December 11th. More information on this event can be read here, and complete information on all of the Corner Booth activities can be located here on the Leaky Lounge.

See you at the movies!

It is rather pointless to post that you have made the first comment if that is all your comment entails.

I’m excited for the Order of the Phoenix DVD release. (Even if we have to wait another 46 days) They have been playing it in our theatre at the Student Union of our University here in Ohio. I have seen it 8 times and tonight will make number 9!

Excited

Dangit! I’m driving from Charlotte to Atlanta tonight, I won’t be able to join. Someone cheer for me when Hagrid breaks through the door on the island house.

YAY!! I love seeing them when they are so young! There is such an honesty about them. Fave part? Hagrid telling Uncle Vernon to shut up you dried up old prune and bends the rifle :)

Yeah Hagrid had the first two awesome moments in the film:

Hagrid flying in with Serious motorbike.

Hagrid bashing down the door – then uttering “sorry ‘bout dat”

Its fitting that he had the first awesome scene in the last book with the same but now modded up badass motorbike.

Actually, will there be a synch problem with international DVDs such as my UK one? Isnt there a difference in run times because PAL plays a little quicker than NTSC (or vice versa)? I’m not sure but I recall this fact somewhere. Does anyone know of I’m talking complete rubbish?!?

oOoh, FUN! That reminds me, PottahCast, can’t wait for your commentary! :)

It really is a pity that these events are a bit difficult to attend in Europe. That would mean 2pm for me and I will be asleep by then or fall asleep infront of the DVD, which would be no use at all. It really is sad.

This is fun, I can’t believe how fast all the movies have gone, and how much they have grown. I love every moment of the movie, but one of the best scenes is where Harry and Ron are first on the train eating sweets, and in walks Hermione. LOVE IT!! :)

Ooooh! Sounds like so much fun! I think Sorcerer’s Stone is my favorite. It best exemplifies how I picture the Harry Potter world to be like.
