After bagels with the familia (OMG, when will they leave the house?!) I went to see Harry Potter with my 13 and 15 year old brothers and one of my younger moron cousins who hasn't read the book and kept asking me annoying questions throughout the movie because he didn't get it. This would have ruined the movie for me if I didn't already hate it SO MUCH. My brothers and I spent the ride home coming up with phrases to express how bad it was. Here are some we thought of:
- A world of suck
- A world of fail
- Sucktastic
- A gaping black hole of suck
- If the worldsuck index were made into a movie, this would be it
- A world of pain with which we were not familiar (quote points for this one)
- Liiiiiive from the planet of suck...!
- A failure of epic proportions

I hated the beginning- I barely recognized it. I hated the middle- did anyone feel like they were doing weird things with the Harry/Dumbledore relationship? It felt a little creepy. Dumbledore should NOT be commenting on how pretty that random girl they stuck in was (did Harry leave his Daily Prophet WITH THE MOVING PICTURES on the table in the Muggle restaurant that he was for some reason in as he was riding around on trains??), he shouldn't be talking about how Harry needs to shave, he shouldn't be wondering if Harry and Hermione were dating. Speaking of which, it seemed that the movie was subtly pushing the Harry/Hermione ship. Even when they were talking about Ron and Ginny, it was weird. And then they had that scene at the end (you know, the end where they skipped Dumbledore's funeral?!) where for a while it looked like it was just Hermione and Harry were confabbing on recent events. Anyway, also horrible parts included that whole deal where the Death Eaters could become magical trails of black smoke (WTH?!), where they burned down the Burrow (OMGWTH?!), how Harry seemed way too happy for the entire movie, how they totally ruined the Harry/Ginny romance (H/Hr shippers, wherever on my flist you may lurk, do not comment on this), how abrupt the unbreakable vow sequence seemed (contrast to the short sequence that I liked where you see Ron and Lavender kissing in the staircase and then sweep upward and see Malfoy. Good stuff. Also: what was up with Narcissa's skunk hair. I thought it was a hat until they shot her from behind). My favorite characters were Ron and Lavender- I thought they were the best acted (I thought Daniel was really bloody awful, but it might just be the material. And Emma is never Hermione to me. She always comes off as too pretty and too weepy with these sudden and in-that-character-uncharacteristic bursts of whiny anger.) and the most true to the characters in the book.
Good lord, what are they going to do with the seventh?! Especially seeing that Bill and Fleur weren't mentioned at all, Tonks and Remus are supposed to get married (she called him sweetheart. once. that doesn't consitute a relationship!) and have a child together...!! I don't even know what they're going to do.

I've got bunchy tons of fic to write. Thankfully, my muse has woken up from her coma and maybe I'll be able to start writing again. If I promised you a story, don't fret, it's coming.

I think.

After seeing how they completely left them out of this one I was thinking that Bill and Fleur may be left out of Deathly Hallows, but then I read on Mugglenet the other day that they're filming the wedding scene this week. So I guess they'll be doing some backtracking, much like they're going to have to do with the Horcruxes since they left out any and all explanation of them.

Oh my god, I've given up on these movies being good when you've read the books. But I'm still disappointed every time I leave the theater. I guess my lowered expectations are still too high.

Pretend I have a Harry Potter icon. Stupid icon limit!
