Remilda Graystone said...: The question is: Who isn't? I'm pretty sure I'm going to cry, so I'm slowly, slowly counting the days until it comes out. *dies a little* I'll probably throw some big celebration to mark the ending of this, great, great, great, GREAT(!!) era. Ugh. I'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about it...; May 1, 2011 at 4:54 PM
Josin L. McQuein said...: So I guess I'm the only person on the planet who hasn't ever seen one of these movies?; May 1, 2011 at 5:08 PM
A.J. Cattapan said...: Thanks for posting this, Suzie! I'm very excited, too.

Am I wrong, or does Harry call Voldemort "Tom" before pulling him down into the chasm? Ha! So much for "He Who Must Not Be Named!"; May 1, 2011 at 5:10 PM
Loretta Nyhan said...: Wow, right? This trailer is making me cry, so I am going to be a mess during the movie!

And it just kills me when Molly Weasely takes on Bellatrix.; May 1, 2011 at 5:44 PM
Heather said...: Waiting on this one has been torture! But I'm sure it will be well worth the wait!; May 1, 2011 at 6:31 PM
erica and christy said...: Wow. Wow. Wow.

(the answer to Josin's question is yes, btw)

Wow.

Monika said...: Me too! I'm so looking forward to this that when it actually comes out, I'll be working at an overnight camp as a counselor. I'm so sneaking out and going to see it!; May 1, 2011 at 7:46 PM
collectonian said...: Josin, nope you are not. Have no interest in them at all, and haven't seen any of them. My boyfriend says the books are good, but I've also not ready any of them.; May 1, 2011 at 8:10 PM
Barbara Kloss said...: I just got chills all over. I LOVE these movies!! EEK! Going to go and watch again now...; May 1, 2011 at 8:37 PM
Jeanmarie Anaya said...: Goosebumps! I can't wait!; May 1, 2011 at 9:04 PM
Jeff King said...: I absolutely can't wait…. I’ve been waiting since I finished the last book. I can’t wait to see the end on the screen. I just hope they don’t screw it up.; May 1, 2011 at 9:34 PM
Donna Weaver said...: Me, too! If you're interested in what they've included and aren't worried about movie spoilers, you might consider checking out the discussion at the Leaky Lounge where a member had a chance to view the screen test:

Melanie_McCullough said...: Just a little while longer. 7/15/11 Can't get here fast enough!; May 2, 2011 at 12:03 PM
Shannon Heather said...: Slightly personal note: I started reading the books when #4 came out because my Mom was driving me CRAZY about this Harry Potter thingy. She even gave me an effing Christmas ornament of an owl - alright already! I was in my early thirties and in the throws of diapers and potty training.

My Mom died 3 months before book 6 came out. I almost didn't read it. I almost stopped. (Spoiler alert) When Dumbledore died at the end of book 6, it was going to be the end of reading these damn books and seeing the movies for me.

Ah, but parents have a way of staying in our brains, their words and love. For her - I finished the series.

I'm am SO thankful I kept reading. Turned out to be very therapeutic.

So, less than a week before Mother's Day, I am very excited for this last movie. No tears. Just a lot of awesome memories.; May 2, 2011 at 2:08 PM
Kristi said...: I could watch this trailer on repeat and still not get tired of it! Though admittedly, it makes me a bit sad to think we're so close to the end, atleast when I finished the books I had the movies to look forward to. Now what? ;P

Oh yeah, Hunger Games. Thank goodness for that.; May 2, 2011 at 5:45 PM
jjdebenedictis said...: Oh, yeah. That Friday, I'll be oozing out of work a weeeee bit early to catch a matinee.; May 2, 2011 at 6:46 PM
Julie Hedlund said...: Wow! Hadn't seen this yet, and now I can't wait either!!; May 3, 2011 at 11:21 PM
Jonathan Dalar said...: Not looking forward to it. Much. A little vested interest in the story from sitting through the previous movies with the wife and kids, but I was sorely disappointed in the last go-'round.

They should not have split the last book into two movies. They did it from a purely money-grabbing perspective, and it hurt the story tremendously. If you think differently, exactly how much of the last movie was not comprised of the main characters milling about aimlessly, searching for something to happen?

I like fantasy, and all things fantastic, such as wizardry, magic, mythical creatures and the like. I can forgive writing to a younger generation when I'm all grown up. I cannot forgive cardboard characters and bad plot tailoring, especially when it comes at the expense of great storytelling.

I'm looking forward to this a little, but only because it's a continuation of what should have been the last three quarters of the last movie.; May 10, 2011 at 5:57 PM
esss said...: This is the first time to read a post from the bottom to the top. Your video clip attracts my eyes and heart. I watched it many times. I even wrote this reply while I was listening to such great movie.. You always touch my heart by your words, videos and continuous encouragement. I hope to keep communicating even after this journey ends...

Five Random Things About Suzie

1. I drink so much orange soda, it's probably running through my veins. I've been known to go through a twelve pack of diet sunkist in a day.

2. I'm legitimately nocturnal (or a vampire). I will be so exhausted at two pm that I'm falling asleep standing up - it has happened before, at Six Flags no less - but as soon as the sun goes down I'm wide awake.

3. I have a gorgeous unused $6000 Reem Acra wedding dress hanging in my closet, and it showed up on my doorstep the same day my (now ex) fiance broke up with me. And thank God for that. I wouldn't have wanted to waste that dress on him.

4. Social anxiety plagues me daily. I write a script and practice in front of the mirror when I have to make a phone call, but most people who interact with me have no idea how nervous I am (or perhaps they lie) because I've worked so hard to try to overcome it.

5. I'm actually worried that I will never love my children (when I do have them in the far off future) as much as I love my dogs. I just like animals better than people - they're sweet and innocent and soft and furry - is that so wrong?

quotes

金不一定閃
流浪者不都迷路

"I dreamed you bewitched me into bed

And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane
I think I made you up inside my head
I fancied you'd return the way you said
But I grow old and I forget your name
I think I made you up inside my head" ~Silvia Plath, Mad Girl's Love Song

"Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." ~ Robert Frost

"Love is not love,
Which alters when it alteration finds." ~ William Shakespeare, "Sonnet 116"

"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter- tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther…And one fine morning-...So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, THE GREAT GATSBY

"For deadly secrets strike when understood
and lucky stars all exit on the run:
never try to knock on rotten wood,
never try to know more than you should." ~ Sylvia Plath, "Admonitions"

"The heaviest of burdens crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground. But in the love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man's body. The heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously an image of life's most intense fulfillment. The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become." ~ Milan Kundera, THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING

William Wilberforce: "No one of our age has ever taken power."
William Pitt Jr: "Which is why we're too young to realize certain things are impossible. Which is why we will do them anyway."

"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man." ~ Mark Twain

"Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform." ~ Mark Twain

“You know what I am going to say. I love you. What other men may mean when they use that expression, I cannot tell; what I mean is, that I am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which I have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me. You could draw me to fire, you could draw me to water, you could draw me to the gallows, you could draw me to any death, you could draw me to anything I have most avoided, you could draw me to any exposure and disgrace.” ~ Charles Dickens, A MUTUAL FRIEND

"I think the idea of life after death is a bad idea. It distracts you from appreciating the uniqueness of the here and now, the moment you are living." ~ Joseph Campbell

"Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear...Cry for the broken tribe, for the law and the custom that is gone. Aye, and cry aloud for the man who is dead, for the woman and children bereaved. Cry, the beloved country, these things are not yet at an end." ~ Alan Paton, CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY

"To laugh often and much.. to endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better... To know even one life has breathed easier because you lived, This is to have succeeded." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"After telling the hard facts to anyone from lover or friend, I have changed in their eyes...[Some see it as] a mission, as if ...they can pull me back from the wreckage of that day. Of course, their best efforts are largely useless. No one can pull anyone back from anywhere. You save yourself or you remain unsaved." ~ Alice Sebold, LUCKY

"Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared." ~Tupac, The Rose That Grew From Concrete
