How cool! ^_____^ This is an excellent treat for the Navy.

This is especially a good way to thank the Navy for all they have done. :yes:

It would be more fun if they had some of the cast join her! Screen the movie on an aircraft carrier; it has plenty of room.

WHOA! Brilliant! :lol:

thats really nice of her. giving back to the people in the navy for what theyve done

That is awesome, totally! I hope they enjoy the movie as much as I did.

That's so awesome! :) I hope they love it! <33

Awesome! Thank you navy!

It would totally make sense for them to present this to the Navy, considering the fact that they have fought in war and their families have gone through so many ups and downs. They may have lost of loved ones as well. I think for them it'll be an emotional and most certainly a unique experience watching this since they can sort of relate to the characters and come to know how similar the real world is to fiction where evil exists.

That sounds good......

Wicked!

awesome!

Wow she actually is doing something right!

Awesome!!! :)

brilliant!

That is definitely cool !!

that is great news! hope they enjoy it!

Do you think they will even understand what's going on? I doubt many of them even watched a Potter movie or read the books.

Aw that's so nice!^_^ So glad part 2 is getting the recognition it deserves!:voldie1:

Fair point, but as it's a stateside Naval base and the screening is open to servicemen and their families, I think there will be plenty of interested parties around. :P

It is good that they are doing that for my Navy people, I've been in the Navy for 7 years now. Im an IT (Information Systems Technician) and work out here in Hawaii. Which is a downside to this post since their not going to do anything special for all commands and states. But it is good that they are coming together to do this for my fellow shipmates!

That's really cool!
