Currently 16,406 people ahead of me in the queue - feeling pumped.

Anyone else get a bigger queue fail?

Colleague got 2,000 and I only told her about it one minute before as she saw it on my desktop pfffft.
 
It's a two part play - £130 for both. There are cheaper seats but it's automatic seating at the moment. Most are £130.

Expensive but at £65 per part I've paid more for theatre tickets before.

Sod fighting to get early tickets. There will just be loads of Potter nerd spastics who'll be uncouth/ruin the theatre experience. Imagine if they start snacking on popcorn and cans of fizzy pop... ugh! I'd just wait until you can go to showing a bit down the line when the hysteria has died down.

Not that I'm going to watch that play - I've never read the books or watched any of the films :cool:.

Probably quite difficult to read as an adult from scratch (unless you've got kids) but it was a great series to grow up with, being more or less the same age as Harry, because of growing dark themes and interests in the laydeez.

The films have killed the imagination of it, somewhat.

well it does look like they're tried to be 'edgy'

I wonder if this will now turn into a supposed 'controversy' as per the whole omg there is a black guy as a storm trooper in the starwars trailer thing a few months back

That 'controversy' was just stupid, there's been black people in Star Wars before. Lando, anyone? Turning a character from white to black or vice versa is pretty jarring though.

Only have 11 months to find out how good it is - yey :D :(
 
So I finally saw this yesterday and thought it was brilliant - so funny to hear the collective shock gasps from hundreds of children and adults (including me) :D

Definitely worth going to but would be a bit confusing if you hadn't seen / read the films / book. Very funny in places too.

To avoid spreading spoilers... my only further comment is wtf with the pronunciation of Voldemort (it's not a spoilerr to say his name comes up)! It's VoldernorE apparently. Not sure why JK didn't decide to correct this in the films but there we go.

It didn't really bother me that she was black - she seemed to retail all the personality traits. It suppose it was an odd choice when presumably they could have picked a 'more obvious white actor though.

My brother questioned this also, to which I replied "fnar... it never expressly says she is white". He then trumped me with "... two black parents that are dentists... really?!" - good point :o

It should be pronounced Vol-de-Mor with the 'T' silent, it's French for Flight of death.

I think it crept into the first film, which once released they couldn't really go back on so had to leave the pronunciation as it was.

Yeah everyone knows that was how she came up with the name now but tbh who ever read it 'Voldermort' and thought 'ah silent T!' - zero percent probably considering nobody flagged it during filming!
