I have seen three movies in three days:

Tree of Life: If you know anything about this film, it will probably be that opinions are divided. I went with a party of four, two hated it, one loved it and I really liked it until the last 15 minutes when it went into symbolism overdrive and it lost me. It is a magnificently beautiful film. I was trying ( Read more... )

So Jim Broadbent’s playing Slughorn (how many Oscars is that between the adult cast now? I can think of at least five). Which illustrates why I adore Harry Potter casting, they always get it right with the adults. It’s always a shame though that the adult characters get so little to do in the movies. It’s always the adult roles that get the most ( Read more... )

OotP is my favourite of the books. I adore the two resistance group and the politics and the message about protecting oneself and the thing you love from creeping encroachment of evil and not just the cackling villain kind of evil. Also, I love secondary characters, and I love the moments may secondary characters get in OotP, like Molly and her ( Read more... )

And since as you all probably know, I'm a bit of a fan of Jack Davenport, I like ( Read more... )

Isn't anyone else just a little disappointed that we only get one shot of the Order itself in the OotP trailer. On the other hand ( Tonks! Mad-Eye! Kingsley! Random people! )

Here's my rather superficial look at the OotP spoilers over at Leaky( In case you didn’t want to be spoiled (Sirius Is Gunna Die!) )

Have we had any confirmation that Thestrals are going to make an appearance in OotP? I just had a thought that the broomsticks over London scene may not be the advance guard ( Read more... )

Umbridge reminds me of my dead Grandma. This for me is really disturbing.

I picked up a copy of The Whitcoulls List today while buying stationary, which is the top 100 best books as voted by people of New Zealand and The Da Vinci Code was number one. Come on people! IMHO, the only way you could possibly think The Da Vinci Code is the best book ( Read more... )

I baked biscuits and I ate one. Twenty-four hours later, I’m still alive. Yayness ( Read more... )

I want to be Emma Thompson when I grow up. She just rocks so much. When I was as busy, I had three rabid plot bunnies gnawing at my brain. Now I’m not, suddenly they don’t want to be written. My good mood is apparently bad for creativity ( Read more... )
