Anyone else see it with an audience laughing at random moments?

YodatheHobbit · July 2011

I don't just mean parts which were unintentionally funny acting moments, though they did that as well. People seemed to just laugh randomly during normal non-jokey dialogue scenes. Made me feel like I missed half the movie, though I absolutely loved the half I didn't miss.

Bane · July 2011

Yes, people were laughing and making orgasm noises during the scenes intercut between Harry and Voldemort after a Horcrux was destroyed or whatever.

Truthfully it's a fucking shocker that I was even able to like the film.

Festax0333 · July 2011

yep

its sad

Richard · July 2011

my audience laughed at some parts

acciohp · July 2011

yeah, my audience cheered and laughed at the right parts, but then again were laughing at inappropriate parts (for example, voldemort getting weaker, voldemort getting up after the king's cross scene, and voldemort hugging draco)

YodatheHobbit · July 2011

Also, people seemed to NEED to vocalize every single thought they had. I can definitely understand doing that to an extent, but for me the level in the theater I was in was too much. Things like a loud deliberately annoying "WOAH!!" one single person made. Just.... don't do that.

Hinkypunk · July 2011

Precisely why I avoided a midnight screening although it was hard for me to resist. Usually, I love love love all the hype and excitement, but this one.... This is just for me to enjoy and absorb.

I will probably see it again, just in case i do have a noisy audience or a crying kid or something.

Anth · July 2011

my audiance only lol'd in three parts:

Voldemort laughing
hermione/ron kiss
Minerva McGonagall when she says: "I always wanted to use that spell

"

YodatheHobbit · July 2011

Yeah. I wanted to avoid the midnight screening. I thought I had learned my lesson cause this has happened before, but I caved due to peer pressure and the fact that it was the last one.

Martin1 · July 2011

I'm really lucky, I had a perfect audience. They didn't laugh at anything that wasn't meant to be laughed at.

LupinTheGreat · July 2011

My audience laughed at

Voldemort grinning and making those sounds whenever he was weakened,
McGonagall talking about how she always wanted to use that spell,
The Kiss (when Ron and Hermione giggled, so did the audience),
Voldemort hugging Draco,
Voldemort slapping Lucius and pushing Bella down,
Neville going "that went well" and him mocking the snatchers

there were a few others but overall they weren't a bad audience.

YodatheHobbit · July 2011

For the record, I want to make it clear that I think laughing at the right funny parts is perfectly awesome. Don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.

they laughed when voldemort was weakened? lol, wrong time to laugh IMO

Riku · July 2011

My theater laughed when Voldy called Ginny a "stupid girl" :-))

Anth · July 2011

that not nice indeed

XDMorsmordreXD · July 2011

I loved my audience!
They were all genuine HP fans but were funny.
They groaned when Ginny came, laughed at Voldemort saying, "Potter is Dead' and just were great fun

Vince · July 2011

My audience laughed at Voldemort, which made me angry. Fiennes' performance was great, and I wanted to appreciate it, but they almost seemed to mock it and not take it seriously. Just because he's laughing, doesn't mean you have to laugh. I wanted to appreciate why he was laughing. Not to mention there was some laughter as he was weakened as well, and laughter at other inappropriate moments. I think everyone was just a wee bit too excited.

mattStrelow · July 2011

My audienced laughed when Neville woke up and the burning DE flew away.
Also when Voldemort laughed in a very creepy way like "HEHE" LoL

GredWeasley · July 2011

My audience laughed during the epilogue. Not making fun of it but just seeing Rupert and Emma as parents made them smile. They did laugh at Voldemort hugging Draco which was a weird part but not humoris. Other than that they laughed,cheered,and cried at all tw right moments. Near perfect audience.

mattStrelow · July 2011

My audience was perfect, I've got nothing to complain.
Standing ovation at the end, so many people crying...

GinaC · July 2011

Yeah, I had a really good audience, but they did laugh at the "Potter is Dead" and Voldemort acting like a fool at that point. I think at some point when this is happening so often you have to blame the actor or the director for letting things get over the top rather than blame the audience for being inappropriate. Obviously you just didn't communicate the mood that should be communicated. IDK, I guess they figured after Harry's nod that we knew Harry was alive and they didn't need to be too serious there. But the last part of Neville's speech with Voldemort's evil laugh there (NOT overdone at that moment) when he pulls out the sword was awesome; wish the rest of it were that good and that they had cut the hug with Draco (the audience also laughed there). Basically, my audience was super! LOTS of great costumes!

BlackCatScott · July 2011

I had a good audience this time (for once) as I stated in a previous post. However, I know the feeling of having an audience that will literally laugh at anything. It's so annoying.

mattStrelow · July 2011

I'm really proud of the fact thay my audience cheered big time when Harry "relived" after Neville's speech. People stood up to yell and clap. Amazing

CJ1989 · July 2011

I had an amazing audience in the cinema i went to....everyone cheered and laughed at the right parts.....but the bits where voldemort got weaker and even when he died were deathly silent.....there was no inappropriate laughing...........I wouldn't have been impressed if they'd been cheering at that.....but instead it felt like the whole audience was holding its' breath. AMAZING NIGHT!

aaron · July 2011

Voldemort's laugh, Voldemort's hug, when they crawl for their wands, Harry saying "It's mine now," along with all the other intentionally funny moments. Not to mention Snape's creepy eyes in the Prince's Tale ( as a kid), Fred's death...nearly ruined it.

[Deleted User] · July 2011

My audience was OK. There were a lot of people getting up in the middle of the screening! That pissed me off. But, for me, the only inappropriate moment that they laughed was when Voldemort hugs Malfoy.

MadBella · July 2011

the loudest in mine was when neville stepped foward...i thought i could do better than that line

stinka · July 2011

there were some giggles during the epilogue when the camera panned to ron...but, that's it really.

stinka · July 2011

speaking of getting up during the screening...i had to pee sooooo bad...and i'm not kidding you, it was at the beginning of Prince's Tale, just like the mugglenet guy!!... but, i held it in, like a champ...rofl.
damn vitamin water.

Jason · July 2011

Some people laughed when Harry woke up at the King's Cross limbo scene. There was also this little girl talking in the phone with her mom when Snape died. Wanted to get up and bitch-slap her...

[Deleted User] · July 2011

My midnight showing had laughers that would laugh at moments I thought were more serious. My IMAX 3D showing crowd was much better.

[Deleted User] · July 2011

People in my midnight show laughed at this too. I didn't think it was funny at all. It was creepy. No one in my IMAX showing laughed at this scene.

A lot of people laughed at the Neville scenes.....like all the Neville scenes. That bugged me.

vraj · July 2011

I went to IMAX in the afternoon and they did laugh very regularly. I did join them frequently but when they laughed at VOLDEMORT grinning, two were taking the biscuit

vraj · July 2011

They bugged me about Neville as well.

Phoenix007 · July 2011

I wish I could have bought out the entire cinea they trampled,talked and the sound of them eating was like feeding time at the zoo.

TheEightHorcrux · July 2011

Was Neville waking up in slow motion meant to be comical though? Like slightly humorous or dramatic?

Hinkypunk · July 2011

My audience was great ! Thankfully. They only laughed at what was meant to be laughed at. It was appreciative laughter. I can honestly say they were stone quiet at everything that concerned Voldemort, they had either read the books or were mature enough to appreciate what was truly happening. Even Neville's " That went well " , was only met with a few very quiet murmured laughs.

People that laugh at the wrong places are just incredibly immature. It is not the fault of the filmmakers, it is people craving attention or not being able to handle what they are seeing.

I was very lucky. The only annoying thing was the guy behind me eating some kind of hard candy and kept shaking the box loudly . Ugh !

Honestly, we had more tears than laughter. Lots more.

aaron · July 2011

Slightly humorous I think. He's just endured so much, his face makes the entire shot. And the death eater falling in slow motion behind him...Our whole theater cheered, laughed and clapped.

Hinkypunk · July 2011

Was Neville waking up in slow motion meant to be comical though? Like slightly humorous or dramatic?

NO. Not at all. No one at my theatre laughed. We were too tense.

MattCat · July 2011

Some people laughed when Goyle fell into the fire and someone went 'ha' at the close-up of Lavender. :-S

[Deleted User] · July 2011

Some people gasped in shock at Lavendar in my theater.

decarus · July 2011

People laughed when Nevelle woke up, but he did have a really weird expression on his face and there was a flaming death eater flying behind him in slow motion. It was slightly ridiculous. I thought they would spin around him during that moment and show the battle in the great hall.

HorcruxWanderer · July 2011

I had a hyena girl laughing all the way through and a lot more people in the epilogue when I genuinely thought it was very emotional

[Deleted User] · July 2011

People laughed at Draco in the epilogue. I don't know why. I thought they all looked great in the epilogue.

decarus · July 2011

Yeah people laughed all through the epilogue, but i sort of understand that. It was so weird.

Richard · July 2011

People laughed at Draco in the epilogue. I don't know why. I thought they all looked great in the epilogue.

Thats beacsue he was looking bad ass!

[Deleted User] · July 2011

Yeah, I guess LOL

Lord_Darkeyes · July 2011

Things that annoyed me when they laughed:

When voldemort said "AVADA KEDAVRA"
When Neville woke up
During Procession when the giant fell off
IN NEVILLE'S FUCKING SPEECH

snarflump · July 2011

I had the exceptionally bizzare experience that I felt a good 40% of the people in the theater did not know what was happening. At a Premiere where supposedly only real HP "fans" (dressed up and all) attend, people where reacting to the film as if there was no book to spoil the whole plot. People stood up and missed part of the Epilogue. It was a weird crows. I hope tomorrows people are more in tune with the series.

seamus · July 2011

My audience was also great, some of us even clapped at the end, what was my first experience of some kind of this. However, the audience laughed a lot, for example:
Hermione/Bellatrix in the Gringotts
Voldemort hugging Draco
Voldemort laughing (HEHE)
McGonagall´s "I always wanted to use that spell"
When Neville woke up and the burning DE flew away
Neville speech in front of the Snatchers
Lucius´ "I don´t know" in a boathouse
Epilogue (and mainly Draco)
and what I didn´t understand, they laughed also at the long shot of the staircase

Mac · July 2011

Everything was okay.Expect they laughed at Voldy's scary Laugh!

Anyone else see it with an audience laughing at random moments?
