Wow.  If anyone ever wanted to see me completely lose my shit, tonight was the night.  I came home from Order of the Phoenix to find my room...infested by ant/flies/insect type thingies.  When I say infested, I'm not being euphemistic - I mean infested.  I mean that scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (okay there weren't any centipedes

I agree with everything you said. However, I do have one more thing to add to the 'bad' list. What was with the King Kong/Faye Wray--Grawp/Hermione schtick? Puh-leeze! Hope you managed to eradicate all the critters. Good luck.

Well, I did a pretty good job with them (in an hysterical action heroine kind of a way), but then the nice man with the critter-killinating powder came and made it all better. Which was a good thing, because I saw what I looked like in the mirror last night and...I must have really snapped the tether to look like that!

I didn't mind the Fay Wray moment so much, mainly because it gave Ron a chance to be amazing, but I did think to myself, 'Okay everyone loves Hermione in the movies, I get it, but did you have to make it all textual like that?' The only Hermione moment that really annoyed me was her introduction of Luna - would it have killed them to let Bonnie Wright say that line? She might have had a whole five lines of dialogue! Looking back I think she was the most seriously underused of the young characters; even Neville (who was also minimised) had one stand-out scene. Good for Bonnie Wright that she made such an impact with so few lines, I suppose
