HOMG you guys, I've totally fallen in love with Robert Pattinson and Tom Felton. AND ALL IT TOOK WAS LIKE, ONE HARRY POTTER MOVIE. Seriously. I'm a fangirlly puddle of goo
( Read more... )
lol Nope. I saw Chamber of Secrets a really long time ago and it was just 'eh' so I never watched anymore. I've been thinking about reading the books, but I really don't feel like it :/ I'll probably just watch the movies XD And normally I NEVER say no to a book. I'm just so reluctant to get sucked into this and I don't know why!
Chamber of Secrets (the movie) was HORRIBLE. I never rewatch it. It's....ugh, it's awful. It's also where the bastardization of Ron began. He was fine in the first movie and an imbecile in CoS. It irritates me to no end. He was slightly improved in GoF but not much.
Which is one of those things that I guess makes no sense without reading the books, but Ron is my favorite character and the movies RUIN him. Argh!
ahem. sorry. That's a bit of a sore spot for me.
Anyway, the books are fabulous, honestly. You probably know enough to jump into them starting at book 3 where they really start to move to a much darker place. Interesting that you don't like Harry. I'm not sure how I would feel about him if I'd only seen CoS and GoF the movies. Those are...not Radcliffe's finest. And so much of what makes Harry sympathetic comes from getting inside his head which is hard to do in a movie.
And OMG I'm going to stop being analytical in what is clearly a fun, fangirly post. I...get a little wrapped up in HP.
lol So I guess I just picked the wrong movie to watch to try and get me into the fandom. :P
I didn't like him in Gof. I didn't like Hermione either. They were really annoying and whiney.. I can understand why you'd be pissed. Movies from books tend to do that a lot. You should be around when I start complaining about the movie Ella Enchanted, or about ANY Stephen King movie that they make out of a book. They are all so BAD! (well, with the exception of a few..)
I can't really explain why I don't like him. I guess it's just the fact that I've only seen those two movies. Those are...not Radcliffe's finest. Hee. I probably should go back to the beginning. BLOCKBUSTER HERE I COME! You won't give me a job, but at least I can still rent movies from you!
I...get a little wrapped up in HP. LOL that's totally ok! I like hearing what other people think :)
Don't you LOVE how in PoA Hermione was the one to stand in front of Harry but in the books it was Ron. ON A BROKEN LEG, NONETHELESS.
-hiss- Movie Hermione also bothers me because 1) she's not supposed to be truly pretty until GoF and they made her normal around CoS/PoA. Also, she moves her eyebrows way too much.
Oh, and man. The muggle clothes? Don't even get me started. I also love how Hermione steals all of Ron's lines about the normality of the wizarding world - "Even in the wizard world hearing voices isn't a good thing". ORLY, MSSY? You grew up here, then? You feel that after about one and a half years of exposure to an entirely new reality you have the authority to say that?
It's the little things that bother me about the movies. Overall, I try to enjoy them for what they are. But we all know nothing can top the books. =3
Also, she moves her eyebrows way too much. YES. I've been trying to figure out what it is that bothers me about her and THAT'S EXACTLY IT. I hate her eyebrows.
You should watch them all and read all the books before July 21st!!
