Okay, so last night I watched "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." In the movie, a ship goes under the water, and a carriage is led by flying unicorns or some shit. They write their names on a slip of paper and put it into a cup with a blue flame. The cup knows your age [you must be 17 or older to compete in the tournament]. The cup also spits out the pieces of paper at Dumbledore to determine who will compete in the tournament. The tournament is full of crazy shit like vines that will eat your face and dragons who defend their golden egg.
So now, I'm sitting here watching "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," and Harry is in trouble for doing a spell to make these shadowy things go away because they were sucking off his and his cousin's faces. A letter arrives and informs [yes it speaks to Harry] him that he's been expelled from Hogwart's for casting the spell.
Professor Moody flies in with his posse on brooms to sweep Harry away [oh yeah. I said it] to this apartment building that like...expands and reveals a whole entire home within the building, that can accommodate some 15 or 20 folks.
Harry rides in a telephone booth elevator and goes to his trial.
Then what happens?
Oh the people raise their hands and vote.
WTF.
They raise their fucking hands to make a vote? That's it? I've been sitting here for the past 25 minutes and that's all you're giving me? What the hell. Are you kidding?
Harry Potter is MAGIC. Magic that is...utterly endless! And you guys sit around and raise your fucking hands?
I bitched to Nate about it and he was like "What do you expect them to do?" and I said "I don't know! Break out a cauldron or get a picture that talks or something! I mean, they write letters and owls deliver them, letters that SPEAK, ride on brooms, and can turn back time and shit...they can do ANYTHING...yet they raise their hands to decide something?"
It is the most ridiculous, absurd, anti-climatic scene of a movie I have seen in a VERY long time. I'm so disappointed.
And I'm not kidding.
Nate still doesn't get it.

PS: I am in all of the crowd scenes of "Harry Potter."
