Cloaks, tattoos & more — you won’t believe what we saw at the midnight screenings in NYC & LA! Have you seen the movie yet?

If you stayed up past your bedtime to attend a midnight screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 last night, we hope you’re heavily caffeinated today. Our own Sofia Fuller and Blair Moylin were at huge gatherings of Harry Potter fans (Pot-heads?) in NYC and LA on July 15, and they captured some footage you HAVE to see.

Here’s a fan Sofia chatted with in NYC before the movie started. And yes, one of them really did see someone with a huge cardboard cut-out of Volde… I mean… He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named:

Now let’s head over to the west coast, where Blair spotted some outrageous costumes outside an LA screening:

And she spoke to some fans immediately after the movie ended. Watch their reactions!

And check out this NYC fan’s highly positive review of the movie, immediately after it ended. (Peep the scar!)
