salixbabylonWe went to a spur-of-the-moment-matinee of POA today
I LOVED the visuals, the set, the way it actually looked like Scotland, the rocks, and hilly terrain, how the castle looked older and lived-in, not super clean.... YUM
Harry is growing up to be entirely too yummy for someone that age. As is Draco. All kinds of inappropriae thoughts about those two...
Lupin wasn't as un-sexy as I'd thought from the previews. He wasn't especially sexy, but he wasn't as boring as I'd feared. Of course all the good subtext between him and Sirius or him and Snape got cut. *pout*
Snape was.... Snapeliscious, as usual. ;)
Liked the new Dumbledore.
I loved that there was no extended Quidditch scene, no long flight from scary spiders, no incredibly dumb almost-falling-out-of-the-flying-car sequence... I liked that it was a decent movie, not an advertisement for video games.
The pacing seemed good for once. As my husband said, it left out some kind of important things, and it seemed to assume that the viewer had read the books, but I thought that worked ok.
The tone and the mood and all of the visual stuff was just SO yummy...
*splashes back into HP fandom* So what's new for me to read? Any recs? ;)

RadcliffeFelton (give it time)Remus was trashed, IMO
Snape was rocking, though we saw so much less of him.
Didn't like Gambon over here
I missed

Sure!
Frankly, I'm surprised. I didn't think there was much crossover in the HP v. LOTRRPS fandoms. It's nice to not be the only one. ;)
