GOF movie, etc etc etc

[_rp_zeal_]

So the past two months I was supposed to live in semi-seclusion studying hard for the darn CFA exam (which, went *horrible*, by the way), resisting such temptations as fandom, internet or basically anything at all entertaining- but turned out the ONLY sarcrifice I actually made was seeing GOF two weeks after the whole planet had seen it ^^;;; I've

I found GOF!Hermione less annoying too. At least she was acknowledged as a shrew, rather than a totally liek bad-ass babe with tons of GIRL POWER!11! Ugh. I do get tired of her crying in every single movie, though. How are they gonna pull off 'Cho is so annoying for having human emotions and not kow-towing to Harry 100%' when Hermione is always sobbing?

McGonagall got a cookie for being more stern with fake!Moody than she was in the book *g*

Yeah, I liked that. For all the moaning about the movies, I actually like most of the characters better in them. I think it's the lack of editorial gushing over them.
Like here, time obviously prevented bunches of McGonagall's endless 'Albus says blah blah' and Gryffindor favouritism, so all that was left is her genuinely likeable moments.

I have close to nil sympathy for Emma fangirls who wept for the shrewness of her in this movie, their pain isn't 1/100th as unendurable as the pain inflicted on us by POAmovie!Hermione! Why must we pay to live in Kloves' wet dream, even just for 2.5 hours???

I think it's the lack of editorial gushing over them.

Haha!

Is it true Kloves isn't writing for the next installment? Good riddance, if that's the case!

God, I hate POA so much. My RL friend wanted to watch it in prep for GoF, and I agreed on the grounds that I get veto power over chapters if it became unbearable. We only watched about three scenes! ;)

Yup, Kloves is gone for OotP. Can't blame him, I wouldn't want to have to whip that into coherency. But he's back for HBP :( Still, he said how he's looking forward to getting to write more Snape and Draco, then, so maybe he's got potential hitherto unexplored.

Well, he's been kind to Snape, so I guess I am not too worried about HBP!Snape in his hands, but Draco! Hopefully by looking forward to write more of him Kloves didn't really mean looking forward to sabotage what's left of the boy's canon character in the movie- which isn't much, and this is me giving the biggest understatement of year 2005.

HBP is by far my favorite book, if he manages to ruin its movie adaptation for me, like concentrating the bulk of it on the H/G & R/Hr romance... *makes certain strangling gesture*

Here's the interview.
But yeah, I have all my hopes pinned on HBP as the movie, so he better not fuck up.

I've read that piece of interview before, and it only made me trust Kloves less. He said:

Likewise, he was hoping, for example, that the character of Draco Malfoy would come more into the fore in "Goblet."

Um, did not happen! Did he mean he hoped that had been the case instead? Because I just don't see what he had done to bring Draco more into the fore in GOF?

Grint, he says, is such a natural-born comedian that the filmmakers have to fight the urge to let him become simply the comic relief.

He did pretty much make Ron's role mostly a comic relief by giving all his best lines to Hermione for no good reasons in the previous movies, STFU Kloves.
