Saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 today. Definitely one of the better Potter movies, if not the best. (hard to judge before I've seen it a few more times)

And... )

HELP I CAN'T STOP STARING AT THIS AND IT'S JUST NOT GETTING OLD FOR ME.

LIKE

AT ALL.

Here, try playing some of these while watching it: cut because this entry got a bit long )

Okay I think that's enough OTL

Feel free to link me to more music if you find this half as hilarious as I do.

Just saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Frankly, it was rubbish.

I mean, they cut out everything that explained anything. Clearly, they're not concerned about making a coherent movie anymore. They just want to throw fancy special effects at us and collect our money.

I'm not complaining about removal of scenes I liked, mind you (although that hapened too, a bit). I'm complaining about the fact that had I not read the book, I wouldn't have understood half it.

Sure, the source material isn't Dostoyevsky, but if you're going to put so much money into making a movie, you could at least make sure it comes out halfway decent.

That being said, I think Alan Rickman and Helena Bonham Carter were both amazing in this movie. I'm sure Maggie Smith would've been, too, had she been on screen for more than half a second at a time.

Movies I need to remember to see:

Year One: Look, I dare you to make a three-hour movie consisting of a single still image of Jack Black. I will want to see it. And as a bonus, this movie actually seems like it's going to be fun.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: I haven't made it this far in the series just to give up at the second-to-last movie, dammit! And in any case I promised my mother she wouldn't have to go alone. and she promised to pay for my ticket

A bit of a c-c-c-combo breaker artpost to prevent three Harry Potter posts in a row. Because I know there are people on my flist who don't care about Harry Potter.

Here's a handful of drawings for you to look at )

Seems scans of Deathly Hallows have leaked online.

Right now avoiding spoilers should be simple enough for me, since I don't frequent that many HP or multifandom places that I couldn't stay off of for five days. Staying the fuck away from 4chan should be no problem, either.

D: but I can't even begin to tell you guys tell you guys how tempted I am to seek out the spoilers. Especially since I saw a spoiler about a week ago that was unexpected enough to be fake but also plausible enough to be real. And since it was a troll post, it could've been either D: And I kind of want to check if the real spoilers match or not. But I'll be strong.

As for the actual book, I'm still hoping for a ROCKS FALL, EVERYONE DIES solution :D.

We take a break from your regularly scheduled One Piece fangirling and RL woes to bring you my thoughts on yaoi Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix: The Movie. a.k.a Harry Potter and the Angst a.k.a Harry Potter and the CAPSLOCK OF RAGE.

Angst and Dark Lords )

And next Saturday, I plan on cheerfully marching to the bookstore in hopes that there are still copies of Deathly Hallows left. Great thing about living in the countryside of Finland: Bookstores don't open at midnight and half of the people wanting to read the book will wait for the translated edition anyway. :D

Well, I went to see Goblet of Fire on Saturday. I did a lot of complaining, naturally.

lj cut because it seemed appropriate )

All in all, it is the best movie of the series so far, and just because I mainly complain doesn't mean I didn't love it.

One Piece volume 5 came out in Finnish today. I was relieved to find they kept Johnny and Yosaku's "aniki". It would have been super weird if they didn't call the crewmembers that.

Anyway, I was thinking about Harry Potter stuff last night.

HBP spoilers, people )
mipeltaja: (Snart)
[Insert incoherent babbling about finding a copy of HBP in the most popular bookstore in town. At noon, no less. Also insert woe about the fact that it is little sister's birthday and assumed inability of reading and sociliasing at the same time prevents yours truly from reading all the time]

Sloganizer is crack. I spent way too long sloganizing my fandoms. These are the best ones I got:

Cut for your safety )
