So, about Harry Potter...

Jul 14, 2011 21:31

There was a time I'd have been queueing up for a midnight showing right about now. Probably wearing my cloak and my Slytherin tie, clutching my wand, ridiculously excited.

And now? Yeah. Not so much.

I'm going to see the movie, don't get me wrong, and I am a bit excited about it. The last Harry Potter movie. It seems to have come around so fast. ( Read more... )

God we were meant to be together. It *is* all about Snape. So much potential after "Half-Blood Prince", so much waste. And I'm talking about the books; as much as I love love love Alan Rickman, compared to the book, he and the character were grossly underused in the movies. In fact, the whole 'adult plot lines' were.

Yeah, I haven't seen the recent movies at all. It is all about Snape.

I keep my silver slytherin tree decorated with green beads and dragon ornaments in a prominent place. I love my house.

I've been a Snape-girl from the get-go. We are the 3 Amigos. And I agree with both of your assessments. I only wish Severus had survived to receive the acclaim he deserved.

But you know, Vin is so not-Snape-like. Even though I he's also not quite Gryffindor. . . .

Hee, now you've got me wondering about which houses all the boys would be in.

Ezra would be Slytherin, definitely. Buck I'd say is Gryffindor, as is JD. I'd put Nathan in Hufflepuff and Josiah in Ravenclaw. Chris, hmm, he's a toss-up between Gryffindor and Slytherin, to my mind - and Vin... I think Vin is too.

I couldn't resist and am currently sitting in a theater waiting for midnight with my sisters :) Even though I didn't like the way it ended it's still the end of an era I had to be a part of!

The one thing I never ever regret is the fact that I met you through Harry Potter! Which absolutely makes it all worthwhile. I miss you, sweetie! Have fun.

People always look at me weird when I say Snape is my favorite of all the characters. They're all 'but he was mean to Harry! He terrified the kids! etc, etc, etc.' Maybe it was because Snape didn't treat Harry like the Second Coming and he wasn't afraid to be snarky, but I just adore him. I agree, there was so much potential for Snape and Rowling just threw it away. I haven't even read the 6th and 7th books, mostly because I was burnt out on it and because Sirius was dead. Then my sister told me the storyline for 6 and I decided I wasn't going to read the last two at all.

My first ever OTP was Snape/Hermione (my first slash OTP was Remus/Severus), that's how much I love Snape. I can't explain it, I just do.

Vin is the exact opposite of Snape. I can like diametrically opposed things. It's exciting.

denorios July 16 2011, 06:36:45 UTC

See, I don't think they're diametrically opposed. I mean, Vin has gone through life with a price on his head for something he didn't do, Snape has gone through life with everyone thinking he's a bad guy. They both love pretty deeply and passionately, and they both have integrity of sorts - and they're both prepared to fight dirty if necessary. And they're loyal to people who, let's face it, are awesome and good and badass, but occasionally? Occasionally assholes.

Of course, Vin is a lot more pleasant than Snape. A LOT.
