Just Saw The Harry Potter Film

[harmony_bites]

And I loved it. Maybe my favorite along with the film adaptation of The Prisoner of Azkaban directed by Alfonso Cuarón--although the only one to make me cry was the film of Goblet of Fire--the reaction of Cedric's father when he finds out his son is dead did me in

Hah! No pressure there, right? *g* But I am flattered, so thank you.

It's not outside the realm of possibility, but it's probably unlikely that I'll be able to put together an HP Christmas special this year. The summer did a number on me, and between one thing and another, I went nearly six months without writing anything at all. I've just started again, and I'm getting back into the swing of it--but it is for another fandom, because that's what came to me. I feel mildly guilty about that, but... well, I have no intentions of leaving HP, and there's room for more than one fandom in my heart. My HP muse will return eventually; I'm fairly certain of that.

I still have yet to see the movie, but I'm not steering clear of spoilers. I'm keen to know what people think. The consensus seems remarkably positive overall, although I've been very amused at a number of the reviews from critics that mention the plot dragging, or how boring the endless camping is. Clearly, they haven't read the book. *g* Seems to me we were saying just the same thing after reading DH. It's nice to know the weaknesses of pacing and structure weren't just in our minds, as disappointed fans. All the same, I'd bet money that the movie improved on the book's pacing, if only because it could hardly be worse...

It's been over a year of writer's block for me, so all I can say is, whatever fandom it is, if it's getting you to write, that's awesome--and even though I'm still at the "no, not one more" stage with SSHG fic, the part that loves it so much is glad you think you're not done with HP yet.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaa. No kidding. And yes, I do think the pacing is better in the film, if only because they found some truly stunning landscapes to place them in.
