muneca_bravaI. Finished reading The Time Traveller's Wife. It was better than I'd expected, and the end made me cry HARD. At first I was a bit dubious about the whole 'Hi I'm your future husband/wife' thing because uhm, free choice anyone? But then they were really cute together so I accepted it XD.
I'm not sure if I want to see the movie though. Has anybody seen it & was it any good?
II. Jewel Staite is coming to Belgium in October (to a con) and now I really want to go :/ I've never been to a con in my life though, they kind of scare me :P I'm going to think about this, and then see if I know anyone who want to go with me. :)
III. Day 23: Any part of the books/movies that makes you cry?
Sirius dying had me in tears for days when I first read it :/ It was so out of the blue, and pointless (which was, in fact, exactly the point - anyone can die). I was shocked, and almost personally offended because out of all the characters, my favourite died? And then I became convinced he would be back in some form or other, and there would be some deep meaning behind the veil. Apparently not D:
I didn't cry over Dumbledore.
But I pretty much cried my way through Deathly Hallows. It was a very emotional experience for me, because I'd grown up with those books, I was so attached to the whole world and all the characters, and now it was finally over. I think I started tearing up at the dedication, and then kind of with moments throughout the book. I remember the scene where George loses his ear giving me trouble, and then the final parts were one big emotional turmoil. Especially Fred dying, and the resurrection stone scene where James, Lily, Sirius and Remus are all together omg D:
To be fair though, I read it well into the night so I was very tired most of the time.
Day 24: Any particular scene you wished would have been put in the movie but it wasn’t?
omg, how many times? I THINK WE HAVE GONE OVER THIS. There are lots of scenes that weren't in the movies and I like, and scenes that were there but were different from what I imagined. The first one that comes to mind is Snape's Worst Memory, because it's one of my favourite parts of the books and while it was in the movie, it was terrible and missed the important stuff.
Day 25: Nineteen years later. Are you happy how it turned out, or do you wish something was different, ie Neville married Luna?
Actually, I was kind of rooting for Luna/Dean. :)
I love the epilogue, don't even. Okay, so Albus Severus is the worst name for a child ever, and it was a bit too obviously LOOK EVERYONE IS HAPPILY MARRIED WITH CHILDREN THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS EVER. But I don't think there's another way of ending the Harry Potter series that I would have been this happy about. If it had just ended the chapter before, I would have missed something. I do want to know what happened later, so I was exactly what I wanted.
Also, Draco Malfoy's receding hairline and the following fan rage was hilarious :D

Date: 2010-08-10 07:56 (UTC)I pretty much agree with most of the things you said, above. SIRIUS! And FRED! *weeps*
I also quite enjoyed the epilogue, the only thing is that I think J.K. could have done a better name for ALL the kids. I mean... Rose is alright for a daughter, but HUGO? WHAT? Scorpio? *rolls eyes* Bollocks.
PS: I have free wifi in my hotelroom! So, in the mornings, before we set out; I can still pwn the internet!
