Thank you! :) I had such fun with this...

Drive-by icon love :D

I think this fic was written by a wringer! The mystery author is surely a screen play writer under contract with Warner Brothers!

Well, it's actually a very faithful reproduction of the movie, in essence anyway. :D Thank you so much for reading and commenting. :)

Bwahahahahahaha!!! Yay! I needed that.

My favorites were the Burrow relocation ("Who are Bill and Fleur?") and the Felix "water." I was snorting my breakfast cereal all over the place.

I needed that after the movie. I think I like the movies primarily for the awesome meta and crack that always appear after them! Thanks for indulging my need. :))

Thank you very much! :)

I was actually a bit worried about the Felix bit, and so I'm so glad you liked it. Though I hope you and your cereal recovered. /:

Absolutely! I'm 100% with you there.

Very clever. The station buffet. . .the effect-less poition. . .the monster profiteroles. . .the amber waves of Weasley grain (that whole weird scene, in fact) -- I thought all these things were odd when I watched the film, but I never thought of putting them into a fun story like this!

My favorite lines and parts:

--"Perhaps," Harry thought inconsequentially, "this is how corn circles are formed."

--the entire "Felix" scene

--"Who are Bill and Fleur?" Molly asked. "Should we know them?"

Thank you very much for such a lovely comment! :)

When I wrote the 'Who are Bill and Fleur?' part, I could actually hear an AU Molly saying it in a very cut-glass accent. Which probably shows how far the films get from canon!

Excellent! Thank you for making book canon so much better. I particularly enjoyed the action scene and the interaction between Lupin and Harry in it.

Hello, and thank you very much! :) I'm so glad you enjoyed it, especially as I know you saw the film.

Before I wrote this one, I did a whole Lupin/moustache fic based on the movie trailer, which I might post at some point, so you have more Lupin action. Though thinking about, that may be a bad idea... :/

*hugs*

Funny, but when I first read this and commented I didn’t stop to think that this was by you, although when I saw the entry asking us to guess the writers, I realised that of course the irresistible style was completely recognisable.

Thank you. I can always use some hugs (even though since Friday I feel better and have a reason to believe it will stay that way, finally) - while I didn’t get my pathetic!Remus fic. And any Lupin action from you is always a good idea, so I’ll be looking forward to that Lupin/moustache.
