Did anyone ever go to the midnight openings?

I went for both Deathly Hallows films and honestly wish I had done the same for the previous ones. Practically everyone attending was a die-hard Potter fan and sooo many of them dressed up for it w/ Hogwarts student costumes from all the different houses... there were even a few ppl dressed as the Death Eaters. :D
Great fun.. plus it was nice being able to chat with ppl that actually read the books as well. (As much as i enjoy most of the Potter films, I've always preferred the books..)
