Pardon Me, But Did We Read the Same Novel?!

Feb 03, 2006 11:43

This just in from the geniuses over at the AP, in a startlingly *brilliant* article (*gags*) about the upcoming filming of 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'...

'Potter also wrestles with his attraction to new character Luna Lovegood, a role taken by 14-year-old newcomer Evanna Lynch.'

Luna Lovegood?! *snorts* Errr... last time I checked, ( Read more... )

WTF?!?!? I KNOW! I read that and had I eaten beforehand, I would have surely puked! Whatever... that's why they're lowly entertainment columinst, not Pulitzer Prize winners.

You know what anxiety attack daytime nightmare (thank Mr. Adelie for keeping me so entertained) I just had? That the worst memory scene just Harry swoonign over the 'coolness' that was MWPP, and they just totally dimished the infamous hazing scene to "oh, whoops, there's a split second of Snivelly's underwear... Hi, Snivellus...OK let's just chill in the grass and have our spectral progeny worship us from the future".

***Cuticles are chewed off*** XP

lolol

Ugh, Harry better bloody well not think MWPP were cool in that scene! In the book he dared to feel kinda bad for Snape, so if this new screenwriter/director duo are worth their salt, T hope they'll be true to that. I suggest MUTINY if they're not! :P

When was Harry ever attracted to Luna? Those people haven't read the book! Journalists who don't do their homework - that sucks!

Hee hee :) As a journalist myself, I have to agree: it does suck! You'd think that *someone* proofreading the article at least would've read the book and caught the mistake. All I can think of is that they're confusing/misinterpreting the fact that Harry invited Luna to Slughorn's party in HBP--BUT that's the (1) the wrong book, and (2) had nothing to do with being attracted to her!

Some people! *shakes head*

I remember a friend who is a writer once told me that a journalist came to interview him. It was so obvious that she wasn't prepared, so he just cut the interview short and sent her away ...
