The Other Vampire Love Story, Way Better Than Twilight
Let The Right One In
I haven't seen the most-hyped vampire movie of the year, and I haven't read the book either. After seeing Let The Right One In, I don't care much to see or read the former since I think I've seen probably one of the best vampire love stories in a long time. It's a modern fairy tale that doesn't gloss over the dark overtones ( Read more... ) -
Perfect weather setting for a Gothic Romance if the heroine wasn't so chilled to the bone
There are dementors outside my building. I can hear them shrieking, howling, and wailing, and they managed to push the closed door to my unit open and freak me out and my dog. If this persists until Christmas, it will go down as the suckiest one in memoriam, right up there with the time my sisters and I got the chicken pox together during ( Read more... ) -

Mixed feelings of disappointment
You know, I never really paid attention to JKR's interviews, because in the end, it's what's in the text that matters most to me. I'd rather figure out the subtext on my own thank you. I don't need to have the creator telling me how or why, I find that annoying, and it diminishes my appreciation for the work being evaluated. She obviously never ( Read more... ) -

I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes the new It Girl. -
Dumbledore and Snape
I really liked how JKR gave us the backstory on DD. It showed a complex, flawed, individual whose friendship with Grindelwald makes me think he would have done just as well in Slytherin House as Gryffindor. He was ambitious and driven, made colossal mistakes, showed remorse, and in the end, still got Harry's forgiveness and loyalty. I think DD ( Read more... )
