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?


Indeed. Hagrid lost many, many points there.

Thank god for the return of the wild Ford Anglia!


Indeed, again. Do you think all Ford Anglias come with sentience, or did Mr Weasley's enchantments bring it about?

I can't remember how much I hated him the first read Deadsy - 21/07/2010 03:44:15 AM 2088 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 1879 Views
I don't think I ever truly "hated" Lockheart Seriana Sedai - 26/07/2010 06:09:20 AM 1889 Views

This section really brought home to me how well Rowling writes about love and relationships. Rebekah - 21/07/2010 07:22:43 PM 1990 Views
That last remark made me check out the names in the French translation... Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:18:36 PM 2028 Views
Don't get me started on the Norwegian translation. Camilla - 26/07/2010 09:52:09 PM 1962 Views

Thoughts on the movie quality Deadsy - 21/07/2010 04:15:20 AM 1681 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 1068 Views
