Fan Works, Reactions and Others

• On a meta level, from Slate.com's review of Half-Blood Prince:

"[Draco Malfoy] sulks around the halls of Hogwarts like a high-school Goth fresh from a spree at Hot Topic."

• Not part of the movies, but related: literal Deathly Hallows trailer.
• The reaction by certain members of the audience to Harry stripping down to black boxers before diving into the frozen pond to retrieve the sword of Gryffindor. You'd think it's the first time they'd seen a guy in his underwear in a movie before!
  • For some of them, it may well have been.
• I may be the only person who finds this funny, but in COS, I giggle like a maniac every time I see the scene with Lucius Malfoy in Hagrid's hut because he has a ridiculous-looking bow in his hair. He's there trying to look all evil and menacing, and actually looks more like a prize poodle or a show pony.
  • Or a "gay George Washington."
  • The copious amounts of Ham and Cheese in this scene add to the hilarity.
• This troper nearly busted a gut when a boy sitting next me proclaimed "Finally my life is complete!!!!" during the opening credits of the 7th movie, only to have his friend remind him that there is a part two.
• When Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 faded to black, in the utter silence of the audience of this troper's theater, some loud college guy pipes up "Is it over"? After his quieter friend's confirmation, he proclaims loudly "What the heck, it was just getting good?!" The whole theater laughed.
  • In this troper's showing, a guy in the front, as it cut to black at the end, shouted "AW HELL NAW!!", eliciting laughs from the whole theatre.
  • This troper had to restrain the urge to yell, "I HAAAVEE THE POWER!" during the penultimate scene and nearly burst into tears at the thought.
    • In a similar vein, after the scene where the locket Horcrux mocks Ron, saying "You are nothing", the friend I was watching it with shouted "I! AM! RONNNN!" in perfect sync with him destroying it. (Precipitating a ten minute discussion about a possible sequel entitled "It's All Gone Ron".)
  • "AT LAST! MY RIGHT ARM IS COMPLETE AGAIN!"
  • The same sort of thing happened in my theater the time I saw OOTP. When Fudge finally realizes Voldemort has returned and utters, "He's back", a guy in the very back of the theater yelled angrily, "NO SHIT!" The whole theater couldn't stop laughing for a good minute.
• When this troper went to see Deathly Hallows Part 2, when the movie faded to black at the end, one person stood up and began clapping. Everyone turned around and there was a few moments of silence before the entire theatre erupted into laughter. After that, the person looked sheepishly around and promptly left before everyone else.
  • A few people thought it was over at the fade-to-black before the epilogue in ours, prompting the kid behind me to yell, "Read the books, idiots!"
  • When ths troper went to the midnight showing, before I had even gotten a ticket, I noticed tha the IMAX was sold out. Cries of " DAMN YOU, MUGGLES!" rang throughout the lobby.
  • This troper's experience at the midnight showing was rather amusing. Because of how few seats were available, this troper's brother was sitting behind her. The first thing he did when the film ended was stand up and scream "THANK YOU J.K. ROWLING FOR MY CHILDHOOD!" This troper simply sank down in her seat to make it look like she was not with him.
  • This troper attended a double feature of the two Deathly Hallowses with Part 2 starting at midnight. Part 1 ended and we had an hourish-long intermission to get our bearings, seat those who didn't see Part 1 and pee, meaning that when we returned to the theater for Part 2, everyone was amped up in anticipation. The theater darkens, the screen lights up... and a trailer for Arthur Christmas appears.

Someone in the back: You're not Harry!

• • At both premiers of Deathly Hallows at this troper's theater, a group of fans showed up with puppets and, before the movie, proceeded to lead the entire theater in singing the "Ticking Noise" song from Potter Puppet Pals.
  • This troper was at Joplin MO for the Midnight premiere. This is really more of a C Mo A than a C Mo F. The audience in my theater (which I'm proud to say I instigated on this path) decided to clap when Voldy died. There was at least one who hadn't read the books before, so she stuck ehr fingers in her ears and went "Lalalala..." while we talked about it. Well, Bella dies, so everyone gives Molly Weasley a Standing Ovation. Voldy dies? We all sit and watch like "Wtf? He exploded into grey confetti?"
• There's a meme going about where character X is discombobulated and you say "X, you are DRUNK. GO-HOME." Guess what this troper thought when Voldemort and Harry were whizzing about after falling off the cliff?
• This Spanish troper can't take Voldemort's death seriously anymore. Why? Because of what happened in the theater:

Random person: Spaniards... Voldemort is dead.
Everyone else: PARTY!!!

• • Francisco Franco's death was announced exactly like this by Arias Navarro (guess which is the only word that was changed), taking in count that this phrase has been used countless times in sketches...
• This troper watched Deathly Hallows Part 2 in 3D. Her little sister's reaction to Voldemort's death was: "EWW! Tiny flying chunks of Voldemort! EW, EW, EW!"
• This troper left the theater after the sixth movie to find a seven-year-old-girl absolutely bawling her eyes out, with her mother frantically saying, "No, it's okay! He goes to wizard heaven! He comes back in the next one!"
