Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2!!!

14 Jul

OMG It premieres today!!

No, Melvin didn’t get his ticket in time to join the throngs of HP fanatics for the final installment. But that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t share in the Harry Potter love (it just means that he didn’t bookmark fandango). So instead, Melvin stayed home and youtubed fun fan videos about the epic series ending. Here are some of the best ones:

Harry Potter Friday Parody

This is really well put together and really hysterical (I usually don’t LOL for real at youtube videos, but this one made me laugh so hard I cried!). And the dance scene at the end…well, I agree with the youtube commenter that said that it should be Flash Mobbed at the theatre during premiere night. EPIC.

Harry Potter Deathly Hallows…in Claymation!

Ok…at first I thought this was a little weird. Harry Potter, Robot Chicken style. And it is 4 HOURS long…but it’s the book, not the movie plotline, and everything is sculpted and amazing. Think about the work that went into this. It’s pretty damn awesome!
