Just Saw the Film!

Jul 15, 2011 14:05

By myself, because no one I live near is a Potter fan, so naturally that left me jonesing somewhat for the fandom I've abandoned. Somewhat... Anyway, I feel I have to share, so general impression on top, specifics under a cut for those who might consider such things spoilery.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 is an E-ticket, a wonderful ( Read more... )

Thanks for the nod and for letting me know.

Coming in late once again.

I'm totally with you on Draco, Neville, and Luna, and it was so good to see Neville and Luna given their moments to shine!

Funny thing, what made me cry in the movie was exactly the same thing that made me cry in the book... the death of Fred. Everyone knows I'm no fan of the twins, but when Fred fell in the book I just *bawled*... and in the movie 'All right, Georgie' got sniffles and the scene with his family gathered around his body... yep, bawling again. Both times I saw the movie!

Snape's death didn't really work for me in the movie, either. I don't know why, it just... didn't get to me. Which was a shame, because I had hopes for it.

I expected to bawl at Snape's death too, yet didn't. And it's not that Alan Rickman didn't act his heart out, bless him. I didn't really come near tears in any of the films except when Cedric died in Goblet of Fire--his father's reaction there really got to me.

I know that you are pretty much out of the SSHG community, as am I, these days, but I just read a story that made me think of you so much. I cannot even express to you how awesome this story is, and it has many things that I think you'd really like - inventive magic, how the founders made Hogwarts, good writing, and a great story. I read this and immediately wanted to rec it to you. I think that if you have a weekend where you're looking for an amazing story, this might just float your boat. Hope you're doing well these days!

I appreciate you thinking of me--and after the film I did have a strong nostalgic yearning to read a good Snape/Hermione--then couldn't find one when I looked at the recently added on Ashwinder at that time--in fact they were imo awful. Then I tried my hand and still found myself firmly, firmly blocked.

It's frustrating--I still have those two "talking" to me at times and not a week goes past when I don't think of my poor abandoned WIP.

But then, you know, although I do miss you and the good people like you that kept me around so long, the truth is there was a lot about the fandom that was... well, not good.

Which is to say, at this point I think I'm going to hold up the cross and the garlic and take a pass. But I really, really appreciate you thinking of me. And I'm not going to be one of those who leaves the fandom and then disses my old ship. Because honest to God, I still love them both--and especially together. But I think that's all the more reason I'm afraid to click! Especially since this one is novel-length. *ahem*

I do understand and I do agree about current stories out there. No pressure to read it, but I wanted you to have the chance to see it. I never search for new stuff, and I don't really follow anything SSHG any more except for Pet Project by Caeria. I have too much time (years!!) invested in that story ( ... )

I promise you I'll at least book mark it. But even when I saw a new story by Lariope some time back I couldn't make myself read it so... Nothing would keep me away from Falling Further In if it updated though so I completely understand how you feel about Pet Project

If you ever get to NYC again for more than a day I'd love to show my city off to you if you're interested in getting together. I think it quite special :-)

I'm not on Facebook though. I know--but I hate giving personal info out in the internet and that seems all it's for.

misstee123 October 23 2011, 01:34:59 UTC

It's all good! I understand completely about the personal info and not wanting to read the story. I mainly use Facebook to keep up with old friends and family who live out of town, and I still watch very carefully what I say on there and try to keep it locked down pretty tight. My son is on Facebook and I make him use my email so I see everything he posts or has posted to his site ( ... )
