WARNING! MAJOR HUNGER GAMES SPOILERS!!!

Dear Suzanne Collins,

You are amazing, coming up with this story. I love it to pieces and the movie was just as wonderful. Thank you.

Sincerely, me.

Dear Imogen, Anwyn and Lara,

Thanks for the fun times, going together to the movie we all loved. And thanks for the wonderful discussions afterward about every little detail. :)

Sincerely, me.

Dear Katniss,

You were perfect. Absolutely perfect. Just how I imagined you'd be. 

Everything, from the look on your face as you sung to Rue and picked flowers to cover her, to the way you shot Cato's hand was wonderful.  I love you, girl on fire!

Sincerely, me.

Dear Peeta,

You are such a great character. I loved your interview with Caesar so much, and your camouflage was incredible. The way you always protect Katniss is so beautiful. I loved you!

Sincerely, me.

Dear Gale,

I nearly cried for you, as you watched Katniss and Peeta together.  I'm sorry for you, but remember, it saved Catnip's life. Please know though, you were always my favourite out of you and Peeta.

Sincerely, me.

Dear Effie,

You. Are. Amazing. So sorry you missed out on this line though.

Sincerely, me.

Dear Haymitch,

You didn't get to fall off the stage, but I still thought you were awesome. Really loved you!

Sincerely, me.

Dear Cinna,

Only you could pull off gold eyeliner so well. Your designs for Katniss's dresses were clever and gorgeous. You are so good!

Sincerely, me.

Dear Rue,

Oh, I think your death was the saddest scene of the whole movie. Thank you for helping Katniss and for being just so wonderful. You were my favourite tribute not from district twelve.

Sincerely, me.

Dear other tributes,

I know you are the enemy, but I couldn't help loving you all too. Glimmer, Cato, Foxface, Marvel, Thresh, Clove and all those of you that I don't know your name, I'm sorry you had to die.

Sincerely, me.

Dear Seneca Crane,

Your beard = awesome. That's all.

Sincerely, me.

Dear other people at the movie theatre,

Why were we the only ones left at the end of the credits? Didn't you want to see that amazing movie to the very end? Plus, poor you, you missed Safe and Sound. :(

Sincerely, me.
