saw the new Harry Potter 6 trailer. The directing looks visually better than the last one. The 5th movie looked horrible, so it's nice to see improvement.
- check this out: this dude takes songs and covers them playing the piano. It's awesome. My fave is "What goes around" by Justin Timberlake, but you can find more songs he has covered on Youtube.

"J.K. Rowling discussed the relationship between Harry and Hermione - as well as how Harry Potter films' screenwriter Steve Kloves interpreted it in Deathly Hallows - in the newly-released Harry, a History:
Quote:
"I tried very hard to soften it, I suppose," Jo said. "Just because someone had a view on Harry/Hermione didn't mean they weren't genuine, or that they were necessarily misguided. In fact, I will say this, Steve Kloves who has been the script writer [on the Potter films], who is enormously insightful on the series and a very good friend, after he read book seven he said to me, 'You, know, I thought something was going to happen between Harry and Hermione, and I didn't know whether I wanted it or not.'
"I had always planned that Harry's true soul mate, which I stand by, is Ginny, and that Ron and Hermione have this combative but mutual attraction. They will always bicker, there will always be rough edges there, but they are pulled together, each has something the other needs."
I stared at her, sensing she wasn't finished, and a sense of foreboding crept in around the edges.
"[Kloves] felt a certain pulll between them at that point. And I think he's right. There are moments when [Harry and Hermione] touch, which are charged moments. One when she touches his hair as he sits on the hiltop reading about Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and [two] the moment when they walk out of the graveyard with their arms around eachother."
I was holding my breath at this point. She wasn't done.
"Now the fact is that Hermione shares moments with Harry that Ron will never be able to participate in. He walked out. She shared something very instense with Harry."

but... i have no ideas right now. I have to read what other people are saying about this. *goes off to find coherent thoughts*

Thats a site if you want to see what people are saying,
I'm just happy that she acknowledged those two moments in Deathly Hallows where Harry and Hermione had a "charged" moment. And that she agreed with Kloves saying that there was a pull. Just the fact that she acknowledged that it could have gone the other way was....way more than I could have ever expected.

ugh and that last line is unlogical to me. i mean if Hermione shares wonderful moments Harry, that Ron hasn't, why aren't Harry and Hermione the 'soulmates?
it's like "if you dont know someone they are your freaking soulmate"
:(

And I don't see the logic in the last line either. If Hermione shares these wonderfully intense moments with Harry that she hasn't with Ron than shouldn't Harry and Hermione be the soulmates? It just seems so much more powerful than what Ron would have had and JKR kind of admits that.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Her sense of logic is broken.
*shakes head*
