Day 1: Do you like AVPM or AVPS better?


Day 2: Favorite character?

Umbridge. Although it's a close one, I also love Ron a whole lot, and obviously Draco Malfoy. I nearly fell off my chair when Joe Walker walked out all Umbridged-out, though.

Okay, favourite Aimee Mann song on three.

Three behind-the-scenes videos of Deathly Hallows.

I am getting to the point where I am finding it really hard to think about anything other than Harry Potter. Which is bad, given how much work I have to do in the next week and a half.

So I was going to go to bed half an hour ago but then I spent ages looking for this:


Now where are my icons?!?!

Go follow holymotherofhnng on Tumblr, that's where I got it.

New Deathly Hallows-related header. Listening to DH in the car and reading the book. Am I ready?

FUCK YEAH IT'S DEATHLY HALLOWS MONTH!

ETA:



I think I'm going to call this "Harry Potter and That One Where They Hug a Lot" from now on. Except for the ONE damn scene that I want to see more of and that they are TAUNTING me with by providing only 4 split-second snippets.

Anyone who's telling you something different is selling something. The on-screen Hogwarts is perfect. Perfect. It has all the necessary bits, some filmic flourishes, and it looks incredible. I love that shot in Prisoner of Azkaban when they're all coming up in the carriages in the rain, too, but I couldn't find it quickly.

The writing of Ron. The writing of the trio. The writing of Dumbledore. The insistence of the filmmakers on cutting out anything of emotional value or character development in favour of hitting every plot moment, but then screwing that up anyway. The way they take the characters' best lines and either excise them or give them to the wrong character. Mostly, though, none of the movies except for Prisoner of Azkaban actually works as a movie. They're collections of scene committed to film that lack cohesion.

Also, for something we can't blame on Kloves, Snape's Worst Memory.

But first: let's say you were able to get something from the WB Harry Potter merch shop, but only one thing, what would you get? (Things I am eying up: the trio's wands, Sirius's wand, Marauder's Map, I Solemnly Swear t-shirt, DA bag. What I don't want: a Time Turner. Quick question, though: why the hell is the Gryffindor scarf purple? I reeeally want a Gryffindor scarf but not a purple one!!)

I stand by my assertion that a huge amount of the casting is perfect. I have had very few qualms with the casting, and the vast majority of the time I picture the actors as the characters when I read, and I think of the characters talking in their voices. I also think that Hogwarts itself has been perfectly brought to life. They get the story wrong most of the time, but the locations and the actors are almost always fantastic, so I'll give them props for that. It's hard to imagine a time when Alan Rickman wasn't Snape, or Maggie Smith wasn't McGonagall, or Rupert Grint wasn't Ron. I believe I've already voiced my thoughts about the perfect Evanna Lynch. Some of the others I amalgamate the actors with something a little more in-character (I edit Dan and Emma's hair, for instance), but I still think they've largely done a very good job. It's helpful in that I can always use still images from the movies as visual references, even if I can't watch them in motion.

Also, the creature renditions have been excellent.

25. Song that reminds you of HP

Run, by Snow Patrol, makes me think of Sirius and Harry. Also, I downloaded a fanmix for [livejournal.com profile] shoebox_project years and years ago, so random stuff like Sing, Sing Sing (With a Swing) by Benny Goodman and Is This Love by Bob Marley randomly makes me think of the Marauders. Pretend to be Nice from the 'Josie & the Pussycats' movie reminds me of Ron/Hermione, too. That movie is kind of underrated and I wish I had more songs by them, they are actually cute girl rock/pop songs. That got off-topic...
