So, I've been rereading all the Harry Potter books in order again in preparation for the last one. (On a side note, it's surely impressive on JKR's part that I can reread these after having read them literally a dozen times each and still laugh at the funny bits.) I started Thursday, just reading them before bed, and I'm 2/3 through Prisoner of Azkaban now, and I came up with a fic this afternoon, while reading it. Hermione/Hermione timeturner secks. I had the logistics of it all planned out in my head, when you'd have to turn it to meet yourself after knowing what you were planning on doing, and how it would be this endless loop of time twisting (I get off on temporal theory), and I come to the computer tonight to check my email, and I happen to search for fic, just randomly, and what do I find on a page of recs, but this exact fic. Ahh, the wonders of the collective brain of fandom.

I didn't get down to the movie theatre to buy tickets, and now the midnight IMAX Order of the Phoenix is sold out. Sadness.

From an email from my mate Katie, who's in France with the school's foreign exchange program at the moment:

I've found your gift when I was in Paris and it is safely tucked in my bag. However, I'm still winning at life 'cause guess what: I saw Jason Issacs. The Harry Potter premier was in Paris and we were shopping near the theater where the premier was taking place.


The pertinent bit of my reply:

Oh, and NO BLOODY WAY. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME THAT IT IS HE THAT YOU HAVE SAFELY TUCKED IN YOUR BAG, BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULD BE EVEN MORE MADE OF WIN.
*kicks self* I should have taken French. I should have taken French.

We just got a thing from our bank offering free tickets to any movie that starts between 6:30 and 7:30 at some theatre on the 12th. So, looks like I'll be going to Harry Potter the day after it comes out. Though there's something to be said about hitting the midnight show (which I've never actually done before, because my sister always wants to come and was too young), and we've never not gone on the day it comes out, I can't pass up free.

Edit: Or not, because this theatre is showing 8 movies that I've never heard of. Ever. In my life. My brother got it mixed up with another similarly named theatre when he went to look up what was playing, so turns out we're not going (at least to HP) for free.

Stockard Channing's performance throughout West Wing's entire Zoey's-been-kidnapped arc is simply heartbreaking. That's my story. The entire arc is done well, but she pulls off the distraught mother beautifully. I was v. v. nearly in tears.
