reason number 500 why Italy is fantastic

Another reason why Italy is amazing....Harry Potter comes out two days earlier in Italy than it does in the states. The entire Abbey Road group was incredibly excited for the movie. We all pictured ourselves back at home in the dark, dirty, yet familiar american theater watching the final chapter of our childhood in film. But none of us were expecting the hysterics of it all.

Walking in to the English theater, we were all a little put off when we realized they weren't selling popcorn. We turned towards the theater in dissapointment, but our moods completely changed when we walked in. Standing in front of us was the a gorgeous Italian cinema painted gold and white with red curtains surrounding the screen. I felt like I was ready to watch a Broadway production, not a movie. My friends and I raced up to the balcony, squeezing each others hands in pure excitment!! I've realized how being in Italy makes me feel royalty, no matter what setting im in. The italian atmosphere is so appreciative, it's wonderful.
