Am very nearly over flu, or as they'd call it in the Magical World if they had such a malady - the grip, which sounds more like what such illness feels like. "The Flu" sounds more like a window was left open and a breeze blew in.

So, I saw HP:DH2 a second time and if anything, enjoyed it even more than the first time. It wasn't like watching a movie, it was like being in the middle of the action - yes - I know I'm mental, but what'd ya gonna do? Of course I noticed new stuff this go round. The biggest surprise was that in the 19 years later bit, Harry didn't have a scar on ( Read more... )

Saw HP:DH2 yesterday morning with a Potterhead buddy. Afterwards we yakked about Potterverse until our tongues went Doxie-blue. Ok, the funny thing is after seeing that AWESOME movie, I woke this morning and my first thought was, "Dang! They somehow managed to get Harry bare from the treasure trail UP after the dragon flight". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ( Read more... )

I can't stand it. A buddy and I pledged to go see HP:DH8 when it opens. We're both officially in mourning now. I wear black every day, in spirit, if not in togs ( Read more... )
