Otakon and Harry Potter 7
So, taking a page from Lyn's book here and just posting about both, but I'm not cool like her and you don't get a little link to read my HP review. If you haven't read the book, then don't read it because I promise there will be spoilers.... sort of... well, at least spoilers of who dies and stuff.
Otakon first I guess.
Thursday: Driving in rain, in the mountains.... not fun. Nothing like not really being able to see the cars and the road to wake you up. I was so happy when we got out of that. The hotel was very nice, the room was nice too. Yay for small fridges, microwaves and pull-out couches! Got Laci from the airport. Shuttle took off because we took too long or something. Pain in the ass having to wait for it to come back. Did some costume stuff and went to WalMart to get some food stuffs. Passed out. Yay!
Friday: Woke up very, very early to get into costume and get to the line from registration. Parking in Baltimore... the biggest pain in the ass in the world. I fucking hate that city and it's parking and it's tons of traffic everywhere! Not to mention the people that live there are total asshole drivers. Anyway, had fun doing the Battle Royal cosplay. Only a couple people knew what I was from since I was separate from the rest of the group, and cosplaying a character not in a school uniform. Feet hurt like hell by the end of the day, because the shoes I was wearing hadn't been worn in a while. Went to a couple panels, they were cool.
Saturday: Yay for the Naruto costume! Had lots of fun being Naruto. Photo shoot was fun, just wish it could've been a little longer. Naruto's Angels, oh yeah. Had fun taking pictures with the yaoi paddle too. Got some pictures of some cool costumes. Went to a few more panels today. Everyone looked awesome in their costumes! Did a little shopping in the dealer's room. Me and Candi had fun going around doing NaruSasuness.
Sunday: Was sad to see Laci go. ; . ; Took her down to the shuttle in the morning. Got to the con a bit later than I wanted to, but that's alright. Just did shopping and sitting around in hallways today. Got some really pretty pictures in the artist alley, and a few small things in the dealer's room.
Monday: Drove all the way back. Dropped Candi back off at home first, and got some dinner. Really, really tired and passed out when I got home.
Below this point is the Harry Potter review, if you haven't read the book, don't read any further.
I'll make this short. Here we go: The book... was better than the 6th book, but still not better than earlier ones. It was like she wanted Harry to see tons of places and shoved them all in this book. Bad move JK. There were barely any other characters in the book besides Harry, Ron and Hermione. I love them, really I do, but for the love of God I didn't need that much of them! Charlie might as well have not been created for how much he was in the book. Greyback.... total pedo. Touching Hermione and everything. Which only made me sick because I know people have written lemons of them. Lupin, total douche at first, but at least he redeemed himself. The deaths: pretty much all of them were pointless. Hedwig! Come on, what the hell was the point of that! Dobby! I cried when he died, because he really didn't have to. Fred! She should've just killed George too! Lupin and Tonks! Why both?! Why not just one?! So stupid. Snape's memories and his death were actually well done. Poor Snape, I felt so bad for him! The last few chapters were the best parts of the whole book. So, I had to be tortured for like 30 chapters before anything really awesome happened. Ok, that's a lie, there were a couple good chapters early on. Neville kicked so much ass! Luna too! Ron/Hermione getting together made me happy. Although, I was hoping they would've gotten together way earlier than they did. The epilogue, was so-so. It was cute, but I don't think she really needed it. The last two lines of the book were so stupid though. Anyway, that's it for my rant, unless I think of something else.
