This section really brought home to me how well Rowling writes about love and relationships. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 21/07/2010 07:22:43 PM
Harry's friendship with Hermione and Ron, the Weasley household, and the mentions of Dumbledore are such tenderly written things, and are contrasted so beautifully by the Malfoy's father-son relationship and the way the Dursley's behave.

Also: I love that The Faerie Queene has made me realise that Malfoy = bad faith. Nice.

I can't remember how much I hated him the first read Deadsy - 21/07/2010 03:44:15 AM 1982 Views
You're right. It's not as bad the second (or third) time around with him. StormCrow - 21/07/2010 01:54:01 PM 1764 Views
I don't think I ever truly "hated" Lockheart Seriana Sedai - 26/07/2010 06:09:20 AM 1761 Views

That last remark made me check out the names in the French translation... Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:18:36 PM 1917 Views

Thoughts on the movie quality Deadsy - 21/07/2010 04:15:20 AM 1575 Views
I always felt that the first two movies were the best, and the others bungled the atmosphere. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 21/07/2010 03:08:29 PM 1016 Views
