well, I'm the slowest person ever at reading, it would seem. I've had the book for a fair while, but essays and various important deadlines have consumed so much of my free time, that I've only just recently finished the last book.

and I didn't entirely hate it. I wouldn't say that I loved it, because I didn't. but I didn't hate it either. (I'm fairly sure I could say I actually liked it, but then I read the epilogue again and gaged on the awful.)

Anyway, my number one gripe with the book isn't the epilogue or anything like that, it's that Fred never finished that sentence about the last time Percy made a joke. Fucking jerk. I wanted to know.

Harry Potter [If you don't want even the hint of a spoiler, don't click the cut?]

1. the book's out tomorrow, 9am (Australian time) and I'm keen, I haven't pre-ordered it, and I'm not going to go buy it tomorrow, or read it.
( maybe this could spoil something for you? I doubt it though )

2. The fifth movie, was boring. Seriously. Better than the book was, but thaaat book put me off the series. It was like Catcher in the Rye, but way fucking longer.


Transformers

that movie was so much better than harry potter five. I'm not really sure I actually understood what was going on, but dude, Shia was in it, and he was seriously just playing an older Louis Stevens (Even Stevens for the win?)

SO yeah, far better movie than harry potter 5, if you are sitting at a cinema sometime this week, thinking 'hmm, what should I see' and you're choice is harry potter or transformers, seriously save yourself the two hours of being mostly bored, and go see transformers instead. It's got robot death matches. Heaps better than Emma Watson.

Well... It didn't improve. 


and I'm not surprised. in the slightest. 

but OMG! H/D = my new otp. 
and not Harry/Draco you tards! Draco = such a baby. 

'I am not worried, Harry,' said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. 'I am with you.' 

n'aaaaw. and that's all I feel like saying about that book.


  
I win, I = percy. 
[I STILL = percy even though I accidentally hit enter and skipped 20 questions, I am so the best]

Oh. my. god.





dumbledore/harry = otp. 



aside from that:
1. Hermione and Ron can go jump off a cliff. For being tools.
2. Harry, you're a wanker, wake up to yourself and stop obsessing over Malfoy. Whatever malfoy's up to it's nowhere near as sinister as whatever percy is up to. Go stalk him. ... please? You could just casually bump into him somehow? or mention him to your friends? It'd make me happy.
3. Dumbledore and his fucking 'flashbacks' are pissing me off. I DON'T CARE. 
4. Ron being poisoned was totally stupid. It was just an excuse to end his fight with hermione sooner with less actual dealing with the issue. *gag* 
5. and Ginny, finally, please start avoiding Harry. I'm sick of this 'green monster of jealousy' that is apparently living inside of Harry (omg, it's like Naruto...kinda). Unless he names it and it gets more 'screen time' and maybe is some subconcious imitation of percy, I don't want to hear about it anymore.

Well I finally finished reading the first five Harry Potter books again, and it was going swimmingly until last night when I finally got through the last drama in the fifth book. 
And it all comes flooding back to me as to why I'd started being so angry with the books. 


and so finishing the fifth book, I still couldn't sleep, so I finally started the sixth book.

it is like every awful fanfic I read in highschool, melded together into one horrible, badly edited book.

In the last five days I've begun on my marvelous project, "rediscover why I liked Harry Potter in the first place"

I have begun by erasing from my head the movies, as they're far from why I liked Harry Potter (and actually play a part in my disdain for the whole thing) and pulled out "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" + Chamber of Secrets and The Prisoner of Azkaban and took them with me camping. I spent a nice day reading and there's that nice fuzzy feeling of happy there. I think that was it. I'm not sure what it is about the books that creates it, but I like that feeling.

So my question to you, people of my flist, is there something about Harry Potter that you love?
I don't care if it's negative or positive, just that you like/love it.

With everyone telling me Harry Potter 4 would actually be decent, I went into the cinema expecting something that wouldn’t suck.

Then I picked holes, laughed at the most inappropriate times and slept through bits. . .

You know, now that I think about it, it was pretty awesome.

( LJ cut for those who don't care about what I thought of the movie, or haven't seen it and don't want to know how many people die horrible deaths )

(and my apologies for being away from LJ for so long. I shall be away a bit longer after this post, so you know.)

You know, I've always thought people had a decent enough grasp of what was 'canon' and what was 'fanon' then I met Harry/Hermione fans. Geeze these kids are OFF THEIR NUTS.
Since Half Blood Prince, fandom_wank has been on Potter!Wank over-ride. Harmony!Wank = the star of the show.

Some of the Harry/Hermione(Harmony) wank-topics:
1. J.K. hasn't even READ the first five books, she has no idea what she's doing.
2. J.K. is writing all of her characters OOC.
3. J.K. is a whore, and doing this to be mean to them.

But my all time favourite:
J.K. should write an alternate version of Harry Potter where Harry and Hermione get together.
and they're serious about it too. Someone, tired of waiting for JK to do it for them (man, no patience there) typed up the ENTIRE book, and changed things so that Harry and Hermione get together.

Doesn't anyone keep whiteout and a black pen in their pencil cases anymore?

And just for your entertainment, and excerpt of the Harmony!Potter book:
"Harry!”

Hermione was running toward him, very pink-faced from the cold, beaming, wearing a cloak, hat, and gloves. Harry’s face broke into a grin as he turned and scooped her up into a hug. He heard Ginny snort behind them as he spun Hermione around, kissing her heartily. Ron groaned with mock disgust.

“Think you could take your lips off Harry long enough to give me the password, Hermione?”

“Love,” Hermione said dreamily, and then went back to kissing Harry as he carried her through the portrait, glued together at the lips. Finally, when Ron complained about them so loudly that everyone in the common room began to stare, Harry let Hermione go and they took seats on the couch, Hermione perched on Harry’s lap.

“Did you have a good Christmas?” Harry asked.

Hermione shrugged. “As good as I could have without you.”

That is all, read the WANK to learn more of this marvelous re-write.
