Harry Potter At The Empire
The audience was applauding even as the Warner Bros. logo appeared on the screen. Yes, actual clapping and a wee bit of whooping too. Now that's not something you hear a lot of in Inverness, but then this was the Empire cinema in Leicester Square and things are just a bit different here in London. Biggest screen in Britain, they say, and posh reclining seats too. But applauding a movie has always struck me as odd. I mean, it's not like the actors can hear it.
"Dumbeldore has put on some weight, " observed Zed-son and then came up with a funny line that he has been repeating all day.
"He's more like can't-fit-through-the-door."
I'm sorry about that, but I promised him I would include it in this blog entry. Please indulge us. We're in the holiday spirit, after all.
As for the actual movie - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - well, it was fun. Lots more laughs than the recent HP flicks and fulls of gags about teenage romance, snogging and that kind of stuff.
Oh and a main character dies at the end, of course.
Cue applause.
