All aboard the HP Express

1. Dan Radcliffe makes Harry tolerable for me. No, not just cos he's jailbait really spot on, but because, um, just because. Rock on, baby, with your punk, it-actually-takes-a-lot-of-gel-to-get-it-this-spikey hair!

2. ethrosdemon and I called the Rupert Grint hotness before CoS came out, but now? Whole new fucking level. Jailbait, kids! He's so fucking cute.

3. Alfonso Cuaron made the movies the way I'd always imagined them, fast-paced, seamless CGI and all. I can give him no higher praise.

4. Okay, Sirius and Remus was always canon, but now? Really fucking canon.

5. Ron with the rolled up sleeves during the Care of Magicial Creatures class made me have bad, bad thoughts.

6. Who knew Gary Oldman could pull it off? I so felt it. Of course, I also shrieked 'Bad Touch' when Sirius sat Harry down at the very end.

7. I tend to find Hermione bothersome if only for all the Mary-Sue madness, but she was quite tolerable this time. Or maybe I was just too busy looking at the jailbait to notice.

8. Draco so fancies Harry! Blowing Origami? Any other boy would've just tossed a spit ball at his head. Merlin in hell, I may have to write about it.

9. I actually shivered when Harry shouted Expecto Patronum. Both times. Damn.

10. There was not a ship you could have that this movie did not address: Draco/ Harry; Neville/Harry; Ron/Harry; Ron/Hermione; Sirius/Snape; Hagrid/Buckbeak. You name it, and it was there.

11. I love the Phelps twins so much. Fred and George are so honorary Slytherins.

12. Neville's gotten so tall! *pets*

13. Dude, the boys had a candy fight like girls have pillow fights. How fey!

14. Did I mention that I have mad love for Alfonso? If he makes five, six and seven, it might even out one and two.

15. Did I mention that I have to write some Harry/ Neville and some Harry/Draco?

16. Did I mention that the end was near? Yeah, thought so.

word to all that. I was a little disapointed that the candy fight scene ended just as things were begining to get interesting. I'm going to see it again tonight and tomorrow at church, I will pray that Alfonso takes over the rest of the movies.

Wriiiite itttt. :*

Yes.

I say we start a petition.

[pandarus.livejournal.com]

Yesss! Yesyesyes - just back from seeing it myself, and must agree with most all the above.

Adorability on a stick. Yes.

[poor-choices.livejournal.com]

Draco's cartoon was also madly funny. Although, putting that much effort into a little note? So crushing on Harry.

In an unrelated note, I just reread Telegraph Avenue, and you are awesome. It rocks with the amazing rocking even though I don't watch the OC. And I have no respect for your Marissa, because she went to hated Amherst.

[nysha63.livejournal.com]

And if you watched The OC (which you totally should 'cause Adam & Ben & Peter & Kelly are awesome together) you would have no respect for Marissa 'cause she sucks.

[poor-choices.livejournal.com]

In that case, then, Amherst was a goo choice for her.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You must watch the OC! Really. Don't fight it! Also, congrats on graduation. And yes, Draco has it really really bad for Harry.

[poor-choices.livejournal.com]

There're a couple kids in my Latin class who are huge fans. Every week, it'd be, "Hey, Amanda, it's OC night!" "Yeah, I know, Max! I can't wait!" And I'd think, "hee, hackthis watches that."

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*nods ephatically*

And you should be able to say ' dude, I watch that too!'

[lyra-sena.livejournal.com]

*squeals and makes incoherent noises*

I still haven't recovered from last night. So so so good! From the moment Harry turns around and leans back on one hip against the counter in the Dursley's, I was like 'OMG I AM THE BIGGEST PERV EVER'

I perved on Ron (so fucking cute!), I perved on Harry, and I perved on Hermione. I am hopeless. And clearly going to hell. I adored their threesome embrace on the cliff outside Hagrid's house when they thought Buckbeak was getting the axe. That was one of the most beautifully framed shots in the movie.

And, how can one not love the NOT PLATONIC AT ALL EVER NO WAY embrace between Sirius and Remus in the Shrieking Shack? Holy god, I thought they were going to kiss.

...jesus, I have to go see it again, and soon.

It was the Y Tu Mama, Tambien shot.


I loved this version of the movie so very much. Draco, without the slickback, looking much better.

And please tell me I wasn't the only one wondering what an adolescent boy wizard with a wand under the sheets (in the Dursley's house) really was doing?

*cough* Erm, no. rageprufrock turned to me and said 'what is he doing' and I responded 'masturbating'. *giggles*

[mskat.livejournal.com]

wellk, I think it was the whole Maximus spell. He kept saying Maximus (I didn't hear the luminous part) and the only thing I could think was he's been reading all the spam about penis enlargement!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no Alfonso's not really big on the platonic anything, which is why I heart him madly.

Alfonso the Amazing

[clockworkcanary.livejournal.com]

Ron with the rolled up sleeves during the Care of Magicial Creatures class made me have bad, bad thoughts.

And Ron with the un-tucked shirt. And the just-woke-up, fresh-out-of-bed head hair. And the woolen hat. My oh my was puberty *ever* good to this boy...

9. I actually shivered when Harry shouted Expecto Patronum. Both times. Damn.

H-O-T is all I have to say. Kept having to remind myself he's 15. *wants to use the Time Turner to age him and Rupert 4 years, so she doesn't feel like a creepy pedophile*

11. I love the Phelps twins so much. Fred and George are so honorary Slytherins.

If by that you mean Gods among men, then holy hell yes. The talking in unison thing: hottest damn thing that came out of that movie.

15. Did I mention that I have to write some Harry/ Neville and some Harry/Draco?

Damn. Here I was hoping you would write some hardcore Harry/Ron angst here. The movie opened up so many opportunities for everything basically.

Apparently, Alfonso unknowingly foreshadowed two events that will happen in books 6 and 7 in the 3rd movie. The Harry/Hermione thing seems like a plausible one, but then all the Hermione/Ron hinting she's been doing would seem pointless.

Then there was the Lily/Remus part that made me squeal uncontrollable in the theater. That part sounded so slashy to me (is a die hard RL/SB fan). Here's hoping their relationship (old married couple, HELLOOO) is one *crosses fingers*

Any ideas?

I go from journal to journal,

[bostongirl2003.livejournal.com]

determined to tell everyone how f*ing cool Alfonso is. At the London premiere, he came out of the screen and was dashing around signing autographs, saying he had to do it fast because his baby was waiting in the car. So, somebody has already beat you there. :p

I rented Y Tu Mama Tambien (I rented it for the HOTTness that is Gael Garcia Bernal, the star of the new Pedro Almodovar movie Bad Education) and discovered after the fact that Alfonso wrote and directed it with his brother. If you're interested, Y Tu has behind the scenes stuff with Alfonso. He rocks. So hard.

Re: I go from journal to journal,

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Some people consider Y Tu Mama Tambien to be the holy grail. Just saying. And yes, Alfonso rocks like a rocking thing.

[rayaluna.livejournal.com]

I so agree. The directing was FANTASTIC. The whole movie was amazing. I'm cracking tomorrow and borrowing the first book. I need my Harry fix.

I didn't see the second movie (I will this weekend), so the change from what the cast looked like in the first movie and now was SUCH a difference. I'm only 19, but I still feel like a perv for checking them out. Draco, Harry and Hermione got really hot.

Of course, I also shrieked 'Bad Touch' when Sirius sat Harry down at the very end.

Heh. I chuckled and said the same thing to my roommate. I was also amused when Harry was first fighting the __________ers and his wand was out spewing white stuff everywhere. I'm such a perv ;)

I actually shivered when Harry shouted Expecto Patronum. Both times. Damn.

These parts were especially fucking awesome. Damn that was a great movie. I need to see that again.

[rayaluna.livejournal.com]

er, DEMENTORS. I'm tired.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I so agree. The directing was FANTASTIC. The whole movie was amazing. I'm cracking tomorrow and borrowing the first book. I need my Harry fix.

Are you telling me you've never read the books? PHILISTINE! I mean, my poor deprived child. Suffer no more.

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

I had much, much, much difficulty deciding whether I wanted to molest Ron or the Twinses first. Then I decided that really, it didn't matter which order.

Because with that much hott? You'd just pass out eventually anyway.

And Neville! So cute! Almost as cute as his Lego self. I've always adored Neville, but this one just made him even more adorabler.

and the threesome! I want some triosmut, dammit.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Dude! I want a Neville lego! All I have are Slytherin ones, not that there's anything wrong with that (Slytherin pride!), but still, I need a Neville lego.

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

He's in the "Lupin's Classroom" set with Boggart Snape (hee!) and Lupin (looking scarily like the Gilderoy Lockhart lego with a bad dye job) with scars!

*hugs legos*

[overloved.livejournal.com]

RE: Harry/Neville!

Do eeeet!

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

I think *the* ship here was Harry/Hermione! They are so cute. Wow. I was really like "Ok, so if I remember that when Harry's being psycho, that's really him, and he becomes the Even-Worse-Than-Voldemort, and really he's not very Gryffindor at all, then this is the best movie ever made! Go crazy!Harry. Hate on, my brother!"

Daniel might be a wee bit too cute. I really had some issues with myself a couple of times. Tom is also shaping up quite well.

All the little things, like the coronas on the Lumos spell, the photography on the start title credit and the end credit, Buckbeak looked REAL! Just, bah.

THe twins mod haircut?

And, let's just remember that Daniel wants to be the new singer for The Libertines, I mean, really, come on, I need to get...a restraining order put on me.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

THe twins mod haircut?

You know I nearly cried. Also, don't come in here with that H/H stuff, you know she gives me hives.

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

Wait until you see what Anna and I are writing now. Hahaha!

"Other people's money." Zahra smiled at the dealer. He was youngish, redheaded. He smiled back. just to break you off a bit of the preview.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Dude. I won't even fake like I'm not excited.

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

I thought while I was working all damned night and half of the next day she would have written more, but NO. I see how things are around Chez Anna. I will have to break my foot off in her ass.

[tigress35.livejournal.com]

Dude, the boys had a candy fight like girls have pillow fights.

SO GAY! You know they're all giving each other experimental boarding school hand jobs at night.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*blinks*

Right you are! Harry/Neville and Neville/Ron it is!

[tigress35.livejournal.com]

Errr... no! I didn't mean it!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's right, I heard about your dirty little sekrit.

[tigress35.livejournal.com]

It's not dirty a sekrit anymore! *g*

10. There was not a ship you could have that this movie did not address: Draco/ Harry; Neville/Harry; Ron/Harry; Ron/Hermione; Sirius/Snape; Hagrid/Buckbeak. You name it, and it was there.


and, dude! ron/neville - you're supposed to stroke it.

;)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

JAILBAIT!

Uh, yeah...

[emmalyne.livejournal.com]

Erm, I don't believe I've ever posted to your LJ before, except to feedback, but I just had to share the HP love with somebody and you're the lucky victim ;)

ITA with everything you said, especially Dan Radcliffe's hotness and the extreme slashiness between Remus/Sirius.

It really sucks that Cuaron won't be directing the fourth, but at least it's not Chris Columbus. And he did say he was considering doing the fifth, sixth, or seventh movie. I'm hoping for D) All of the above ;)

[queenofhell.livejournal.com]

Of course, I also shrieked 'Bad Touch' when Sirius sat Harry down at the very end.

I said that, except about all the long nature walks Lupin and Harry were taking.

And word to the rest of your post. Especially the part about the twins and Ron. Bad, dirty thoughts.
