my problem exactly. and yes, arguably, in the book they don't either - or they do, but we don't get to see it, we just get told it's happening. which i think is one of the major weaknesses with the harry/ginny in the book. i hoped the film would take that and improve on it - show us some of these quidditch matches that harry and ginny supposedy spent laughing together etc., and i was fully prepared to give the film its dues if it managed it...but they managed to bollocks it up with the "showing not telling" even more than jkr did! how did they even manage it?!
cormaaaaaac ♥
i fully agree with your mother! i do actually think it was the best hp film. just ... they're so poor that doesn't say much. i didn't really have any standards about it measuring up to what i wanted, but i did have expectations for it as a film, as something that should entertain me for 2.5 hours. which it did, just about. idk, i think it's just that every time i've seen one of the others recently i have been literally shocked by what bad films they are, and how i could possibly have enjoyed them the first time! i think i must have gone into hbp subconsciously determined to see it accurately rather than fan-d up :/ this one was an improvement, but i just cannot get over the acting quality. i know i should, but i just can't. everything's so stilted and it makes me so grahhhhh. *crossface*
dumbledore WHO WOULD NEVER ASK THAT
I. KNOW. How about, Kloves, rather than have Dumbledore spell it out that Harry and Hermione don't fancy each other, we could cut the bits where she stroked him??
luvooo
(i think i should go through this comment and cut and paste the sentences so that they are in a better order but shh i am too tired ♥)
