I can't say I didn't love it! So many little things in this movie are so awesomely awesome it makes my heart hurt to think about him. Some things I didn't like so much. Overall, the pacing sucked a great, great deal, but that went away after the first viewing, so I figure I'll be fine watching it a third/fourth/nth millionth time ( Read more... )

Just some thoughts on possible symbolism in the Founders' artifacts, which include some circumstantial evidence for the Ravenclaw claim and some random insight into Chapter 27 of HBP. Not so much a theory of my own, more that it intrigued me when I heard it and I went to find out more about it. So, some discussion on the Founders' artifacts, the ( Read more... )

Well, if I haven't taken the HBP anticipation to it's logical extreme, I'd like to see some evidence to the contrary.

Top graphic is composed of all the covers of HBP (top left, clockwise: US General Release, US Deluxe Edition, UK Adult, UK Children). The pics were snatched from Veritaserum and The Leaky Cauldron, both of which are very dear sites ( Read more... )

Well, I'm officially counting down to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I just finished up SS/PS. I spent about an hour looking for my copy of CoS, but alack, it has disappeared somewhere into the netherworld. CoS was the first Harry Potter book I ever bought and as such it is the one I've read the most and also to one I stopped reading the ( Read more... )

So. Thanksgiving. The funny thing is that my mother almost always has to work today. Thanksgiving isn't really a holiday in my house. We celebrate Black Friday. lol. But it's a very big thing for my mother -- getting up at 5 in the morning and shopping at Walmart for no reason except that there are some good deals. And then it's Kohls and Target ( Read more... )

If you are insane like me, than you will already know this, but something very big happened a couple of days ago in the Harry Potter Fandom.

Book Six's title has been announced!

Or well... it seems the story is that it was part of a recently added prize on JKR's site.

People who don't know what I'm talking about: on JKR's official site, there ( Read more... )

Have Shrek 2 soundtrack. It is completely and utterly fabulous. I am head over heals for the movie version of 'Holding Out For A Hero' with Jennifer Saunders. I mean it. That song is really too awesome. And it beats the credits version because that one scares me. I mean, the singer's listed as Frou Frou! O.o And what's with the 'doo dum dah doodoom ( Read more... )
