We have reached civilized shores....
... because they've finally started airing HEROES over here - YAY! OK, so I have the chance to download all of Season 1 (which I partially did) and watch everything in advance - but it's just not the same as really having it reach TV screens in your country - it makes it more real, you know?
So, after watching the first two eps, I'm thrilled and ( Read more... ) -
Random HP stuff and a fanfic request
Wheeeeeeee! Is it normal that I'm already soooooo excited about the fact that they've finally started filming for the HBP movie? I don't think it's normal, but - whatever. I'm just too happy imagining what might be going on on set right now. *g* And it's so effing brilliant that Jim Broadbent has been cast as Slughorn - I've seen him in "Moulin ( Read more... ) -
Farewell, cruel world!!
I shall leave you and your work stress and your sucky climate and hailstorms and arse-freezing cold behind and move to the *other* part of the world (well, other part of Europe, actually) where there is sunshine and 40° weather and the sea, OMG, the sea in which I shall swim at least 5 hours per day!
Uhm, can you guess I'm really looking forward to ( Read more... ) -
Jo's chat - Transcript part 2
Here's the second part...
Alborz: What does it mean to be the master of death
J.K. Rowling: As Dumbledore explains, the real master of Death accepts that he must die, and that there are much worse things in the world of the living.
J.K. Rowling: It is not about striving for immortality, but about accepting mortality.
Barbara: I was very disappointed ( Read more... ) -

I finally finished it!!!!!
At 2 a.m. this morning. *g*
I loved the book - I wouldn't say it tops HBP for me, since that one seemed more coherent and was one fun read all the way, while DH was at times quite jumbled and made me feel very, very down (it sometimes reminded me of OOTP in tone, especially with Harry's frequent frustrations). OTOH, it was quite a good conclusion to ( Read more... ) -
Up to chapter 15...
*wibbles*
OMG, the trio fight about killed me! The frustration and cabin fever and them sniping at each other all the time and Harry doubting his abilities as a leader was already bad enough - but the Ron/Harry fight was such a blow to the gut, I felt so sorry for both of them, Ron so concerned about his family (and how could he say Harry doesn't ( Read more... ) -
Up to chapter 12....
I can't believe how long it's taking me to read the book! Maybe it's something psychological, and I'm trying to prolong the experience - but at this rate, I won't be finished till the weekend! *is boggled*
-
Ahem.
OK, so I have only managed to read the first 8 chapters so far (the weekend was busier than expected - curse real life!!! Plus, I really wanted to cherish reading the last book, so I kept re-reading favourite and/or crucial parts, which slowed me down a lot), but I DID get spoiled on the epilogue, and I just had to get this off my chest, before I ( Read more... ) -
*sniff* It's really ending, isn't it?
In less than 24 hours most of us will be holding DH in our hands. The end of the series has swooped down upon us. (where did the time go??? It seems like only yesterday that they announced the publication date!)
I could go on and on about how much these books, these characters and this fandom have meant and still mean to me, but I'm teary enough ( Read more... )
