Opening Day - Harry Potter Movie

We went to see the movie "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" today on the opening day for the movie, the 5th in the series. We went to see it on the IMAX screen at the Museum of Discovery & Science in Fort Lauderdale. The last 20 minutes was in 3-D. The movie was really good! Since we had movie tickets, we got complimentary admission to the museum, and spent a few hours in the museum before camping out in line to get a good seat.

Like the other science museum, this one had an aquarium section, only this one was bigger and included more animals. It too had a tiny homage to the Egyptians, and it also had a neat animated robotic dinosaur walk through exhibit. There was a very fun and creative play area, located not far from the IMAX theater, which had a big "hardwood hammock" tree climbing area:


This was Harry Potter event #2 for us. Harry Potter event #3 will be Thursday the 19th at the library, and event #4 will be the big book #7 release party at Barnes and Noble on the 20th: at midnight the book will be for sale, but from 8pm until then it will be an activity and fun filled event.

We also just found out that a Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios is planned- to be opened end of 2009 or early 2010! It will be in the Islands of Adventure section.
