Iris holds her bubbies, says "dada" and grabs EVERYTHING I hold. She even takes cups and tries to drink from them, and puts spoons in her mouth. She also likes rings. She grabs at my and my mom's rings. She's insatiably curious. :D I love it.
Saw DH P 2 last night. It was all right. Not quite as epic as I thought it'd be, but satisfying enough. The little touches that I enjoyed were Helena Ravenclaw going all scary about Voldemort, Narcissa and Lucius calling Draco over to them, and the part during the battle when Fenrir Greyback was noshing on that little girl's throat. All in all, I didn't think it was fantastic, though. It was, I don't know...short. So, so much important stuff was left out and the sense of time was seriously altered. Like...the Gringotts plan? That took months and months to compose. The whole book was compressed into a couple weeks in the movies. The trio planned the Ministry invasion meticulously, too, over a LONG period of time and just, well, I don't know. I was mad at the fact that Bellatrix's treasure didn't have the scalding spell on it--the Gringotts bit seemed a lot easier than it actually was, with none of the panic or claustrophobia that was in the book. Also, Arianna? Guess she isn't important. Guess Grindelwald isn't important too, or you know, the WHOLE BIG THING about Dumbledore's past, that doesn't matter either. Bella's death scene was tragically unsatisfying, there was no passion to the Molly vs. Bella. I really think that the drawing Makani did of it was better. I liked the Snape/Lily part (I cried) and the Resurrection Stone part (I bawled)and the dragon was cool looking, and the part where Harry and Ron got shirtless was hot, and the Ron/Hermione kiss was perfect, and the way the dead looked after the battle was neat, (nice WW2 references) but mostly, eh. Just eh.
The Roquelaure family spell, I've decided, is sort of like Fiendfyre in the sense that the conjured wolf remains only through concentration of the caster. The Howl deafens all within proximity, temporarily, however, anyone in close range can suffer shattered eardrums/permanent magical damage to one's hearing. Isadora mauls Dante to death with the wolf, however, in the process, she deafens herself and shocks her hair white. Dark magic, you know. No idea if the damage is permanent, though. Probably not, I don't want to take her piano away from her. Long term damage in any case.
