    honestly didn't like the 3D as much as the regular one. maybe it's just me, but i didn't think i could see faces and facial expressions as well!! i believe i actually cried more this time!! i was able to concentrate more on the emotions and less on the action. my daughter wanted to stop in to FYI to see about pre-ordering the dvd!! think it might be a little early for that...Christmas release maybe??

    I was thinking Christmas release too. Seems to be about the right timing.

    Thanks for the 3-D feedback. I was wondering if I wanted to try to see the 3-D version or not. I think I'll pass - I haven't heard anyone say it was worth the extra cost.

    Hey there fellow Ravenclaws

    I went and saw it on Thursday night in 3D but didn't see it in 2D so am not sure which one was better quality.

    I thought the movie was bloody amazing and had a few tears in my eyes especially at Snape's memories and the end bit. I loved how everyone cheered when Molly and Bellatrix were fighting.

    :D

    Hello Fellow Ravenclaws!

    I had SUCH an AMAZING time at the midnight premiere!! There were so many people and wizard duels all over the place! And on top of that, for the first time in a while, I didn't feel squeezed to death in the theater seats! Yay for a NSV!!

    I only saw it in 2D. My family has a history of motion sickness problems, and since I've noticed it a bit myself as I get older, I'm afraid the 3D may just make me dizzy.

    But 2D still kicked *kitten*!!

    Coolio, thanks for the 3D feeedback! I think I will see it still in 3D when there's a big group of us ready to go, but I won't get too excited just in case. Thanks, guys.

    Hello Ravenclaw! So, how do you want to do this? Have weekly weigh-ins and challenges and house points with maybe monthly weight loss goals?? For myself, I found that the weekly weigh ins kept me focused and I liked the challenges and the competition for house points.

    If we want to keep the challenges going, I need some ideas from everyone. What are you trying to change in your life that we might be able to use as a group challenge?

    If we want to keep the weigh-ins going - I need everyone's starting weight (yesterday's?).

    Are you ready? Let's go Ravenclaw!!

    I love that we are keeping this going. I'm sorry for making a trend of being late, I just have to travel a lot for my job :[ But hope to keep losing weight with you guys! Movie was amazing!!!!

    i agree with the weekly weigh ins-the accountability helps me stay on track. my starting weight would be 188 (2lbs under my HP goal!!) :bigsmile: i will put my thinking cap on in regards to the house points ideas. (reread the last 4 chapters of DH2 last night)

    Hello Ravenclaws! Glad to be back here, I went WAAAAAY off track while in Ireland. Like, I've never gained so much weight so fast in my life I don't think. So I really need to get back on track. And I'm hoping you guys will be as awesome as you were during the HP challenge.

    Speaking of HP, I haven't seen DHP2 yet! I wasn't able to while in Ireland, and I was too jet lagged to see it yesterday. I think my mom and I are going to try to see it tonight. I can't wait to see it, but I'm a little sad and almost don't want to, because it will mean it's all over!

    Oh, and one more thing... I'm meeting Tom Felton on Friday. Like for reals. I'll try to post a picture after! I can't wait!

    There is a movie theatre by my house that does celebrity meet and greets occasionally. They were able to get Tom Felton to come this Friday, and I was lucky enough to snag two tickets for myself and one of my best friends, who is a huge Potter fan (and is in love with Tom lol). It's her birthday in a few days too, so I'm giving her Tom as a birthday present! :laugh:

    Here is the last post from Ravenclaw - Harry Potter Weight Loss Challenge thread:
    OK Ravenclaw. Here are the results for our final weigh in. We had 20 to complete the challenge - that is AWESOME!! Overall, we lost 264.6 pounds (including those who didn't finish)! That is an amazing number! Of those who weighed in for the final time, we lost 229.1 pounds and 5.943%. Way to go Ravenclaw!! :drinker:

    Top honors go to:
    Cherubcrnp - 33 pounds lost and 11.96%
    MomofJandA - 13 pounds lost and 9.09%
    azsuzi - 16 pounds lost and 8.70%

    Our house point winner is MomofJandA with 106 total points!

    I hope the other houses will post their ending results for the house cup winner. So far there's been absolutely no activity on their threads for a couple of days...

    And the charts:
