HP sigh

So, 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.

Hmm, see I never thought Ron would get all that upset if Harry and Hermione got together, mostly because I didn't think he really had that strong a feelings for Hermione. Once I accept that he could I can see your point maybe, but even then I'd end up treating Ron's jealousy as more of a "He's Harry Potter so he gets everything" kind of deal and not because he was hugely upset he didn't get Hermione herself. In my head he just decided he wanted her to be his girl, and yeah might have been hurt that she loved Harry, but in the long run he'd realize they were avtually happy together.

Yeah, I have for a long time had R/Hr issues.

Harry/Ginny is just weird, and really wrong. Not hot wrong, just regular wrong. H/G is basically everything Harry never wanted in the books where the characters actually made sense to me.
