I’ll put my faith in all your bullshit if it means you’ll stay.” —Everyday is a Struggle; Senses Fail

I promise to my wife and children
I’d never touch another drink as long as I live.
But even then, it sounds so soothing
To mix the gin and sink into oblivion.
And I, I need that heart, because you’re always in the right places.
I gotta break what I’m making and turn it into nothing for you” —Where Have You Been?; Manchester Orchestra
And you think to yourself,
“This is it, this is it
This is all that I have
All I can stand
Is this air in my lungs
And this coin in my hand”
And there’s this burning like there’s always been.
I’ve never been so alone
And I’ve never been so alive.
I said, I’m sorry momma
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to make you cry but tonight
I’m cleanin’ out my closet
what we needed to know
Like how to deal with despair
or someone breakin your heart
For twelve years I’ve held it all together
but a night like this is beggin to pull me apart” —Seventy Times Seven; Brand New
The movie opens with an extreme closeup of Rufus Scrimgeour’s (minister of Magic) as he’s giving a very haunting press conference about all the dangers and horror going around in the wizarding world. The scene zooms out as it turns into a picture in a newspaper. We see the Dursleys packing up, leaving Harry behind, and their house in Pivot Drive completely empty. There’s another scene that starts out with Hermione looking worried in her bedroom. The filmmakers then decided to show Hermione hexing her parents to forget their current lives and move to Australia. After she does this, she also makes all images of her disappear from the pictures in their house. This scene was very well done and was one of my favorites in the whole movie. It was very effective because it quietly communicated the dread wizards were feeling due to Voldemort. There’s a shot in the trailer of Hermione walking towards what looks like a church. She’s not really heading there. It’s just part of a shot of her walking down her street, as the camera pans up to reveal the titles.
THAT’S HOW THE MOVIE IS GOING TO START? I love it already.
And I always dreamed of Classic cars and movie screens.
Trying to find someway to be redeemed.
Enjoy the little things.
