Monday was the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Premiere in New York, and it just so happened to be at Lincoln Center, just a block over from ABC. I am not a Harry Potter fan in the least; tried to read a book once and failed miserably, had to go to the first film for a 7th grade field trip and fell asleep, and never managed to see another film or get into it at all. However, my compadre and fell intern/partner-in-crime Kevin is a fanatic. And I was excited for the premiere because it was so close, and it's still exciting. So Monday we took a few minutes to run over to Lincoln Center to see all of the madness.
Some people had been lined up for six days! People had signs and were screaming and all excited hours before any of the cast even arrived. It was kind of cool to see everyone so pumped about the movie. We even ran into a man dressed as Lord Voldemort and took a picture with him (above).
So we went back to the office and as Kevin follows some Harry Potter info thing on twitter, he got the update when Dan Radcliffe (Harry) arrived and stuff. He gets off work at 6:30, so I took my break then and we decided to walk back over to see how the madness had progressed throughout the afternoon.
As we got there, we started to walk to the left of the building in the picture and then we heard people screaming and running. So Kevin takes off running right along with the rest of the herd, and at first, my extra cool ass was like, I will NOT run at this Harry Potter nonsense. But then Kevin was getting really far away, so I had to run after him. Turns out, all the screaming was because Emma Watson was on the red carpet.
Kevin was in love.
And then we saw Rupert Grint.
And then I went back to work.
