At the urging of delirieuse, I have been reading some old-skool HP novel-length stuff this week. Everyone else in the world, of course, has already read both of these, but I just wanted to share my thoughts anyway.

- Stealing Harry by copperbadge was first (mainly because I'd avoided reading the other so successfully for so long I didn't want to cave). Premise: Way ( Read more... )

So, I finally saw Alexander last night; thank goodness it was five buck Tuesday.Dear Oliver Stone,

WTF??

Sincerely,

In other, more fulfilling news, ( that HP character likes/dislikes meme )

My mother got the second and third Harry Potter movies for Christmas, and we watched Chamber of Secrets last night. Which was jolly good fun, and includes my second-favourite Draco line of all time - "I didn't know you could read." (My favourite being "And your bloody chicken" from PoA ( Read more... )

You know what I like? Making stuff up in Harry Potter-verse. Like other international wizarding schools. OMG, that's great. Like the North African-Mediterranean school would totally be called Al Maktaba (the library) and be in Alexandria, and there'd have to be one at Babylon, surely. And when it comes to Asia I teeter between Shangri-La and Xanadu ( Read more... )

I don't know what there is for me to do except sit here while the MS prints out and wait until 3:30 when there's apparently a meeting.

Oh yeah, I'm appreciatin' it, baybee. As I said to Molly, look at that picture, and tell me there's any way in hell Lily ends ( Read more... )

musesfool is evil, and woke up the slumbering Sirius/Remus bunny. (No, vissy, no puppies!) ( A little something that may or may not be the beginning of it )

I've been in this class for an house now and we're not doing anything. I don't mean not doing anything like the task we've been given is simple and trite and silly or anything. I mean not doing anything like everyone else is catching up on last week's work, which I finished last week, with an hour still to spare ( Read more... )

Snape, how I love thee; let me count write the ways.

I just finished Goblet of Fire. I wriggled and whimpered all the way through the pertinent parts of the ending. Well, pertinent to Sevvy-wevvy Snape. The obviousness of where he's going, and what he's doing, and give what we've just seen, how fucking brave he is. I mean, Harry's got it easy ( Read more... )
