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.
Alfonso the Amazing

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?
