LANDO CALRISSIAN: [Seeing the Death Star is operational] Home One, this is Gold Leader.
ADMIRAL ACKBAR: We saw it. All craft, prepare to retreat.
LANDO CALRISSIAN: We won't get another chance at this, Admiral.
ADMIRAL ACKBAR: We have no choice, General Calrissian! Our cruisers can't repel firepower of that magnitude!
LANDO CALRISSIAN: Han will

that grimace is purely because Carrie Fischer is a heinous bitch. that is all.

[fera_festiva]

OK, I'm curious - why is Carrie Fisher a heinous bitch? I don't know much about her, so I'm interested to know... and my opinion of her is probably shaped entirely by my perception of Princess Leia as a badass. :)

[air_and_angels]

Princess Leia is awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome.

[fera_festiva]

Yeah she is! And apparently - according to that ever-reliable source that is imdb.com anyway - she is the best shot in any of the films. :)

all Slytherins = death eaters

That's typical JKR....she feeds us all this sh*t about the power of love, and how good kills evil and stuff and then what does she does? She expects us to believe that a quarter of a school is EVILLLLLLLL....

weirdo.

It's all Hagrid's fault - "there never was a wizard that went bad that wasn't in slytherin" apparently, so now all slytherins are BAD.

what....

WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMBITION?????????? WHAT?????????????

sorry.....my slytherin rant is over now....o.0

funnyness again :)

Em xXx

Hmm... I need me a Slytherin icon.

It's all Hagrid's fault - "there never was a wizard that went bad that wasn't in slytherin" apparently, so now all slytherins are BAD.

Yeah, well, Hagrid talks bullshit anyway, doesn't he? That statement implies not only that all Slytherins are BAD but also that all bad wizards are/were Slytherins, which is both logically unsound and, you know, crap.

I agree about ambition too - it's something that can go both ways, surely? OK, so most dictators are probably pretty ambitious or they wouldn't have become dictators, but the same applies to people who found ethical businesses from nothing, or, I don't know, become successful musicians or artists with no formal training, or whatever.

Meh.

I laughed at your summary because it is oh so effin' true! I was kind of like WTF? when the whole of Slytherin decides to bugger off except those three ninnies. Which once again comes full circle with the whole JKR had so many balls in the air that the couldn't help but to drop a few. Or maybe we're reading too much into a book that was meant to be nothing more than a Kid's Book...

*shrugs* Either way, Bring on the other chapters! *laughs*

*Puts hands over ears* LALALALALA I can't hear you. :D

Yeah, that pretty much summarises the book, doesn't it? These last few chapters in particular there is a real sense of "Oh shit I haven't put Peeves in the book yet! Better have him flying around throwing ink or something."

Anyway - thanks for your lovely comment, it made me grin.

Jo said some Slytherins came back "with reinforcements" later, so they were just protecting themselves. I don't actually recall anyone except for Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, and Slughorn, but whatever. And I still don't think that's an accurate representation of Slytherin.

If nobody had found the diadem in all those hundreds of years of it being hidden in an Albanian tree, why didn't he put it back there once he'd made it into a horcrux? It's clearly a good place to hide things.He was afraid of deforestation

[cristiline]

I think it was the PotterCast interview. But I agree that she should have made it clearer in the books. The way she talked about it, it seemed like she had put some Slytherins in, but I don't really remember that.

[fera_festiva]

In the headmaster's office right at the end, the Phineas Nigellus portrait is banging on about how Slytherin played an important role or something - but that's the only indication we get. *eyeroll*

[spacefragments]

....brb need to find some h/d smut.

(real comment later)

[fera_festiva]

LOL.

(I keep trying to write proper H/D smut. I can't write smut, it turns out.)

[air_and_angels]

I think you should be glad about that.
