geebsDamn, I wish I could go take a nap, but there's too much to do. I have to buy cotton. And not owe $20 to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clevemire Still got 300 pages left in Goblet of Fire. I wonder how the movie will go, it seems like there's so much they have to put in. Anyways, for now, here's some commentary on it.
Just read the chapters on the Yule Ball. Hysterical! Neville taking Ginny? Ha. Though I can't see what Ron was so upset asking Fleur about. She didn't outright laugh in his face or say something insulting to make her turning him down really embarassing. I say, its ballsy. I didn't even try to ask any of the girls I really liked to prom. I settled. And I was so sauve about it after prom when she was all, "Oh, you could gone with so many others (what the?! Was she in the same school I was?), why did you pick me?" "Um.. because I felt like it?" Smoove, mang, real smoove. And Harry ignoring the Patil sisters for Hermoine and Cho? Another ha!
And really, how can you miss the Ron/Hermoine destiny here, its so obvious, Rowling practically hits you in the head with it! Who was the one who constantly pestered Hermoine to find out who she was going to the dance with? Who were the two having the heated argument over it? Who was she pissed at for not noticing her? Who was the one who got insanely jealous? Who did she tell to ask her first next time before other guys do because she certainly has plenty of options if he wanted to go with her? Seriously, that whole part where Hermoine thinks she's gotten Ron to stop being an idiot and he starts cutting by first claiming she's a traitor by fraternzing with the enemy and then claiming Krum is just using her to win. Hee-larious. Yeah, that's why you're all pissed off Ron, keep talling yourself that, maybe eventually you'll believe it. And how pissed was she?!
But enough about those too. I'm interested to see if Harry will win the tournament. As if he isn't famous enough already! And its a little more than half way through and other than the conjuring of the dark mark and that whole ditty in the beginning with Wormtail and Voldemort and learning they killed Bertha, there hasn't been any strong clues yet as to what Voldemort has to do with any of this. It'll be nice to see how it all turns out.
Owel, one more hour to go. I'll just read another chapter or two and hopefully the time will fly by.

Date: 2004-07-14 12:22 pm (UTC)The cast list has already been basically finalized, (with good choices for Cho, Cedric and Mad-Eye, that I've seen!) and the people who play the Dursleys aren't even going to be in the movie. That's right, ALL of Privet Drive cut right out! No Weasleys turning Dudley's tongue into a ton-tongue!

1) MAN, wasn't that beginning creepy as hell?? I read it after midnight the stormy summer night it came out, and was totally freaking out.
2) That's how Voldemort works, BIDING his time, until you think you're totally safe, and then KA-POW! I am mightily envious of you that you're about to read the end of GoF for the first time. The ends of those books are just killer. I don't know if the end of GoF is as good as the whole Shrieking Shack scene (which is perhaps my favorite scene in any book ever), but it is very exciting!

Heh, I can see one freaking out about that reading it late at night. Its like you're reading it and thinking, get the hell out of there you silly, crippled old man! That's Voldemort in the next room! I actually found that scene after the Quidditch world cup with the Death Eaters a little freaky, I don't know why.

Yeah, I'm still not sure how everything will fall into place, but I'm excited to see how it turns out. I have about 200 pages left, so I should be done with by Saturday at the very latest. As for the Shrieking Shack, yeah, that was a pretty cool denouement, though I liked the book version better than the way they did it in the movie. It was a little more exciting, like with the way Snape had been standing there under the invisibly cloak for a while instead of just bursting in like he did in the movie. And things were explained a little better.
