Harry Potter and the 3D-dreamy chamber of slumber!

So, in the name of family bonding, we as a family decided to catch the last instalment of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter franchise. Just for the record, I only managed to catch HP1 and HP2 after reading the story books which seem light years ago. As the tickets were selling faster than the flame off Harry's wand, we could only manage to catch the 11pm show. There we were, after a hard day's work and hard earned money, we paid for the tickets, pre-show snacks and fat-laden noisy junk food in the form of crisps and pop corns! Donning the 3d spectacles,the lights dimmed, the cine-ads began and trailers of upcoming movies were screen. Hey, there is Captain America who would able to save the sagging American economy and the country's dwindling credit ratings!
And the HP7 Part 2 started with the three main characters staring at each other in a dark room. That was the last thing that I remember. After that I was transported in and out of slumber-land, from my twilight vision, all I saw was the occasional silhouette of people pointing twigs at each other and sparks emanating from its ends and loud orchestral music. I thought that was the end of the movie but no...
By the time I was finally got off my sleepy head, the 3 main characters (Harry, Hermione and Ron) had aged and were sending their children to Hogwarts. And that was also the end of the movie. None of my family saw my antics in the cinema hall as my seat was far away in Siberia from theirs as we could not get adjoining seats.
And that, my friend, is the story of 'Harry Potter and the 3D-dreamy chamber of slumber'!
