jedi_of_urthSo, because I could I wound up reading the TWoP HBP photo show and well...it reminded me why I hate that book.
All they seemed to talk about was the Hogwarts 90210 aspects, which I was really hoping they would tone down from the book. The plot of the book, though kind of thin, could have made up a good chuck of a movie length story without it having to give so much weight to the crappy ships of the book.
It was only my ability to hope that the 90210 aspects would be played down that had me all that interested in the movie, now that I'm back thinking they're going to make sure to sell that, and reminded of how much I hated it the first and only time I read the book, I'm back to not caring.
I will say that DH redeemed the series somewhat after the dren of HBP, but my love affair with the HP series died with HBP the first time around. Still, somehow I'm still worried the movie will manage to kill it more dead.

I'm not rushing out to see the movie, or bouncing for joy just because hey it's a HP movie by any means. And I thought I'd reached fandom zen place with HP, but this has given me a chance to dig back into those issues and I'm fast realizing I haven't gotten over it.
