1. Dan Radcliffe makes Harry tolerable for me. No, not just cos he's
2.

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.

Date: 2004-06-05 03:41 pm (UTC)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.

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?
