"Goodbye friends of Hagrid..." StormCrow Send a noteboard - 26/07/2010 01:58:25 PM
I'd have reacted rather like Ron, methinks. Or fainted and been eaten by huge spiders.

Hagrid's sweet, really. I am so glad that Film Hagrid hardly sticks in my head. He's one of the badly-done characters in the film. Book Hagrid is much, much better, and far less bombastic than Hollywood's version (surprise surprise).


I about lost it with that line. Can you imagine standing there with the huge spiders converging and then Aragog pronouncing judgement like that?

Thank god for the return of the wild Ford Anglia!

I can't remember how much I hated him the first read Deadsy - 21/07/2010 03:44:15 AM 2121 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 1919 Views
I don't think I ever truly "hated" Lockheart Seriana Sedai - 26/07/2010 06:09:20 AM 1928 Views
My problems with Dobby are very different from my problems with Lockhart Camilla - 21/07/2010 07:02:55 AM 2010 Views
I can see that and I understand completely. StormCrow - 21/07/2010 02:06:27 PM 2189 Views

This section really brought home to me how well Rowling writes about love and relationships. Rebekah - 21/07/2010 07:22:43 PM 2027 Views
That last remark made me check out the names in the French translation... Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:18:36 PM 2068 Views
Don't get me started on the Norwegian translation. Camilla - 26/07/2010 09:52:09 PM 2004 Views
Ahahahahaha! Rebekah - 26/07/2010 09:55:17 PM 1832 Views

I found an error i the POA preview in the back of my book Deadsy - 20/07/2010 10:51:42 AM 1792 Views

Thoughts on the movie quality Deadsy - 21/07/2010 04:15:20 AM 1717 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 1091 Views
I wonder if Rowling ever looks back and wishes she could change some stuff Dark Knight - 21/07/2010 06:44:41 PM 1845 Views
I think this book isn't as deep or as thoughtful as the first. Rebekah - 23/07/2010 11:36:17 PM 1857 Views
I feel the same way. aria - 24/07/2010 01:04:39 AM 1766 Views

It's not Wednesday yet! *NM* Legolas - 27/07/2010 09:26:21 PM 987 Views
But it was a question: Camilla - 27/07/2010 10:25:27 PM 1767 Views
Yes, but the two possibilities in Rebekah's post were either Wednesday or next Monday. Legolas - 27/07/2010 10:33:10 PM 2121 Views
