Happy Birthday to me……..

I am so happy right now that “happy” isn’t even a good word for it. I had a GREAT day. One of the better … if not the best… adult birthday of my life. And it wasn’t because of any gift I physically recieved, it was just because people remembered and were nice. Running jokes were abound about me and my (ex)crush during class today, but we both had fun with them. She is so my buddy right now. I really like her and not in the way I use to, but in a different… Read This

It’s been a long time since I’ve written here and this will be a long one…

So most of my fellow Harry Potter fans have read Jo’s rant on Hollywood’s super thin obession. I myself was given pause by it. For the past 6 weeks (I’m in week 7) I have been quite obsessed with designing my own person weight loss plan. I applied for “The Biggest Loser” in fact, but alas, they didn’t want me. So decided “screw the TV show, I want to lose weight”. I didn’t need a reality show, I just had to… Read This

I’ve honestly been waiting for “Goblet of Fire” the movie forever. Before “Half-Blood Prince” stole the position, it was my favorite book in the series. And now that’s true for the film series. Which is odd because I consider myself a purest and the film, honestly was the cliff-notes version of the book. It hit all the important points so fast it sort of startles you the first time round. There’s exactly one class (mostly to introduce the unforgivable curses). And The film is mostly the Tri-Wizard task and the Yule ball (with a few scenes here and there to… Read This

It’s October the 18th – exactly one month before the release of “Goblet of Fire” the movie and MY BIRTHDAY. Yes, today, the 18th of October, is the 26th anniversary of my birth. So I sing to me “Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to meeeeeeeeeee. Happy Birthday to me.”

Unfortunatly, there’s nothing particualarly special happening today. My mum did get me a laptop, but it’s on-order and allegedly not due to arrive until November. So I just wanted to sing myself the birthday song. … Read This

It’s been a good couple days for Ron images. And I got my assurace that Pig is in the film, so I’d like to amend my previous rant about lack of Roness. As the new images coming out seem to be more kind with the Roness and as scans come by way of folks with less of a character preferance, more Ron seems to be coming our way. So maybe I was a bit quick to judge the promo people at the WB. It seems fan preferances were actually the cause of the “flood of Emma” that seemed to be… Read This

I know this is a bit of REALLY off-the-wall randomness, but does this picture of Harry in Goblet of Fire remind anyone else of Luke Skywalker with a lightsaber?

This is a rant I just needed to get on with.

I have no problem with H/Hr shippers and am quite okay with them gushing over the occassional promotional photo of the two together. But good lord, is the Promotional wagon of the WB promoting a film called Harry and Hermione’s Goblet of Fire. Or worse, Hermione Granger and the Goblet of Fire (We already had to live through the promotional wagon that was Hermione Granger and the Prisoner of Azkaban).

I HAPPILY ship R/Hr in canon and (oddly enough) think Dan and Emma look unbelievably adorable together… Read This

I went to see Corpse Bride on Saturday and if you enjoy Tim Burton in general and loved ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ (the movie me and my friend call it’s ‘distant cousin’) then you’ll love this.

Even though this time the stop animation was helped along with a bit of CGI (or so I’ve read) there’s a certain magic to this artform of visual storytelling. It’s sort of like a living ‘toy story’ as it were, if only because unlike CGI the characters are really there. They exsist as physical things and are magically brought to life by film… Read This

I’m now wondering if I should swear off trailers, mostly in the case of Harry Potter. When I think about it, they’re giving away a bloody awful lot in the Harry Potter trailers now. I mean I saw one trailer for Stone before the film came out in the theater and I think I was able to appreciate the complete film as a film much better for it. I also only saw the Narnia trailer on TV and it was brilliant, just enough of a teaser to keep me going. But as for the Potter films, I seem to be… Read This

Well, I have to start off this journal with something right?

Well I saw the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire trailer yesterday (the US one apparently) and then this international trailer deal appears on the net which apparently has more footage. That took another few hours download (I HATE dial-up). But Anyway…

What I thought of the trailer…

Krum….oooooooh, but he’s VERY hot with the scowling.

Fleur’s peeps… what’s with the sigh and the release of Paper birdies or whatever when they enter the great hall? I’ll be rather pissed if they’re… Read This
