Before the film, the certificate.
Before the certificate, the warning from FACT.
And now - for the first time - before the warning, the notice:
This screening may be monitored by night-vision equipment.
It matters little what I thought of the latest Harry Potter film. You've already made your mind up whether you'll see it or not. So either enjoy it, or enjoy grumbling about how there's nothing new in the cinemas anymore.
And since you're grouching, let me ask this: why on earth was the film preceded by a trailer for a film about Christmas? Do people really go to the cinema only twice a year?
(I will say this about the film though: I loved the cameo by Lenny Henry.)
