Dear Newbies (ie those who've joined the fandom since 2002):

Why, I remember the days when you had to do buy a ticket to some crap film like Scooby Doo if you wanted to hear whether Dan Radcliffe's voice had changed between PS/SS and CoS. Where you had to almost lie to the manager to get your money back if you and epicyclical left after the trailers and five minutes of film - although it wasn't really a lie because you did have a headache from the total badness of that Scooby-film.

I remember when you had to at least trek *by* a movie theater if you wanted to see the preview poster, and when photos of said posters caused great excitement & glee!

Fans these days don't know how easy they have it!

I remember when there wasn't a fandom...1999. Well, I guess there was, but it wasn't even remotely close to what it is today. I remember when the movies were announced and I wasn't sure whether to dance with joy or be very, very afraid for the books.

...I even remember when the first pictures of Daniel, Rupert, and Emma came out. I was incredibly disappointed in at least one of the castings, which turned out to be my favorite one.

Which movie was it where the first trailer to PS/SS came attached? I don't think it was a good one...but I know I saw it three times. >.< Scooby-Doo was thankfully only twice.

What baffles me is the fans that don't read the books and still consider themselves obsessed/fanatics/etc. There's nothing particularly WRONG with it...it's just...weird.

See Spot Run, which I can't even conjure up a mental image of. I didn't go see it there - I waited and saw it on something else a week later, but I can't recall what.

Ha, no, actually, that wasn't the movie I saw it on. The movie theatre I usually go to messed up the trailers and it wasn't in front of See Spot Run, it was in front of something else.

Ugh. That's going to bother me. I'll think of it eventually.
