Ron/Hermione 4-EVAH!

[rsadelle]

But also, Draco/Hermione. I really want a picture of that shot of her in Flourish and Blotts with Draco behind her on the stairs.

Dan Radcliffe is way too young to be that hot, Emma is just adorable, and Ron sure can lean, as, er, someone said.

Draco is mostly just funny. Tom can't quite pull off the nastiness; he always looks like he's about to laugh. Or maybe it's just that I'm always about to laugh when he's on screen.

Maggie Smith is still hot, and Moaning Myrtle is really cute. Kenneth Branagh is completely hilarious, and is it just me, or is Alan Rickman's face a little too round for the part? Arthur is not at all what I expected. He wasn't as funny as I thought he should be.

Yes, I know this is not the sort of style you expect me to use to write about a movie, but this is Harry Potter. You can't say the same kinds of things about something like Harry Potter as you can about something like 8 Mile.

Maggie Smith will always be hot, and I'm terribly dissapointed that we didn't even get a glimpse of Madame Hooch, with her yellow eyes, butch hair and dominatrix boots.

I couldn't quite decide whether Moaning Myrtle's voice was cute or creepy.

Keneth cracked me up, as well as Snape's palpable hatred of him.

Zoe Wannamaker (Hooch) protested something about the salaries for the movies, and won't be in any more of them.

I liked Moaning Myrtle. She was cute and funny, not annoying.

Ron and his rolled-up sleeves! *sigh* I love Ron more in the movies than in the books.

And yeah, the first shot of Rickman on-screen I was like, "Uhm, his face looks puffy..."

[rsadelle]

I like Harry much more in the movies than in the books. He's much realer. He's desperate to get away from the Weasleys. He also seems much more tuned into the reality of war in the movie, especially at the end where he's all dirty, than in the book. In the books, he's rather obnoxious and predictable. In CoS, the movie version, I got the feeling he's a real person.

Aha! It's not just me.

Desperate to get away from the Weasleys or desperate to get away from the Dursleys? Because I do think the last thing Harry wants is to get away from Ron.

And yeah, in CoS especially he's much more attuned to the reality of war. (Dumbledore, OTOH, still comes off as almost a caricature.)

Although I do have to fight the urge to kick Harry and call him a moron when he climbs the giant head in the Chamber. That's a stupid move. But he is only twelve.

I really think it's Rupert's acting that makes me love Ron in the movies more than in the books. He steals every scene, even with the porkchop face. Whenever I watch SS, and they're on the train and he's all, "I'm Ron Weasley!", I make this horrible squeaking noise.

Me = lame. Also terribly in love with Hermione.

[rsadelle]

Er, I did mean the Dursleys. "Years Later" (the thing with all the Weasley kids running around) has taken over my brain again and all I can think about are Weasleys, Weasleys, Weasleys! And, sheesh, I thought it was hard trying to figure out the ages of JKRs Weasleys. I'm having a terrible time creating a timeline and family tree for this set of Weasleys.

Rupert has an incredibly elastic face. The things he can do with his expression are amazing.

And, yes! Hermione! The real thing and also the "Years Later" version, and I'm even quite fond of the Astra-story version

Hee! "He sure can lean" was courtesey of V. :D

Also, I feel like we should have a secret hand signal that symbolises "Ron+Hermione 4EVAH!!!!" Because, yes.

[rsadelle]

Hee! Yes, a hand signal would be cool. We could then identify each other in crowded public spaces full of Ron/Harry spies!

Come on, there aren't that many Harry/Ron 'shippers, really! :-)

*waves banner*

[rsadelle]

Well, maybe not, but I was trying to think of some set of shippers who would strenuously object to Ron/Hermione, and that was the best I could do. Harry/Draco shippers wouldn't care--they might even like it because it would free Harry of entanglements--and I couldn't very well say Draco/Hermione shippers considering this group's feelings about that pairing.

And a top secret initiation ritual!

[rsadelle]

Everyone needs a top secret initiation ritual!

Re:

I'll get the goat if you get a sharp knife to sacrifice it.

[rsadelle]

What kind of irresponsible idiot is going to let me have a sharp knife?

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Um. Me? :D

[rsadelle]

It's a good thing you don't want to have children. ;p

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Any children under my responsability would turn into spoiled little twerps, or die before turning eighteen.

"You want to have ice cream for desert? Sure."

"Wanna run with sissors? Go for it!"

"You want a knife for a ritual sacrifice? Don't use that one, use this one, it's bigger and sharper!"

[rsadelle]

Yeesh. I hope you don't babysit either.

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I have in the past.

[rsadelle]

You do understand that you're not supposed to actually sit on the baby.

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yes, Ruth. :p Actually, she liked me a lot. Mostly because i'd do whatever she wanted. Which usually meant "Put Melle in the buro chair and spin her."

[rsadelle]

Just checking. ;p
