Harry Potter 5 IMAX 3D Midnight Show!

In this 'mini podcast', we attend an IMAX 3D midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix!!! This podcast format is different from our usual format. It is more like the Live Earth special that we had in Episode 24. You will still get Episode 25 this weekend as usual; this is just a 'bonus' podcast that we decided to do since it was such a special event.

- Overview
- We get our tickets and head into the sold-out IMAX theater. There were 2,000 people at this theater seeing 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' alone!!!
- We find prime seats, and start talking to some nearby fans, two guys, one who had read the books, the other who had only seen the films. We apologize if you cannot hear their voices very well.
- The film begins, so the recorder is turned off, but you hear some of the music from the credits when we turn it back on.
- We interview a group of fans about how they liked the film. The general response is positive!
- We, the Falcon and the Dove, discuss the film on the way home at 2:30 in the morning, while looking for a place to eat that is open.
- We also discuss how this film compares to its predecessors, as well as other franchises, such as 'Empire Strikes Back'.
- We call some reviewers out on their 'bad' reviews of the film, and how this film may be more appreciated later on. We express our hope that this film gets major awards attention!
- We talk about how rich this film is, right down to the technical aspects of it, such as the cinematography, editing, music, and more. 'All of the corners were filled.'
- The Quote of the Week. Luna: Things that you have lost have a way of coming back to you.
- Stay tuned for our LIVE PODCAST at the Grand Hallows Ball for the midnight book release of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' on the night of July 20th!
