30 Days of HP, day 4
01. Discuss how you got into Harry Potter
02. Your favorite book
03. What house would you be in?
04. Your favorite movie
Um. I have a soft spot for SS/PS--ickle Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville (!!!!!) make me squee every time I see them. Plus, it was the first, and for me it captured the wonder and magic of the series.
CoS...I liked it, but mostly because I like HP, if that makes sense.
PoA...Ugh. I really didn't like this one. I mean, the cinematography is beautiful, but I hate, hate, hate that they took all of Ron's lines and gave them to Super!Hermione (especially in the Shrieking Shack. *stabs*). I had issues with Hermione in this chapter. Thewlis didn't look like my Lupin (although if he hadn't had that God-awful mustache, he would've been close, I think). So my issues here aren't with the filming, but with the storyline. I couldn't even convince myself that it was like fanfic, which is what I usually do with a book-based movie.
I have a soft spot for GoF, because I got to watch it (several times) with sherylyn, mmmusings, and ohginnyfan. The movie itself was okay, but the company was fantastic. :)
OotP...This is probably my favorite, but I'm not sure I could put my finger on why. It probably has a lot to do with OotP being my favorite book (at least until DH was released).
HBP... I really, really wish they'd left the Quidditch kiss in there. I could deal with the kiss we got, but I would've rather seen the "real" one.
