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.

Good to know, on both fronts (even if they had to frame it ad platonic). Did they keep the hysterical bird throwing scene in that totally proves to me why H/Hr works and R/Hr doesn't? Plus how's the H/G stuff manage?

Lol... slow!responder is slow at responding. I'm guessing you've seen the movie by now, so answering that they left in the awesome bird scene is kinda irrelevant. *sigh*

Well yes, I have seen it. And the bird scene was even more decisive in the movie than the book as to which ship it *should* be in the end. Now with extra H/Hr cuddles and togetherness.

A decent part of me does think the movie PTB are total H/Hr shippers because the sure don't shy away from letting it show up.

Yup, especially since they seem (at least in this movie) to play up the H/Hr parts and downplay (somewhat) the R/Hr parts.
