GOF AND HBP SPOLIERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!
SPOILER ALERT!
Okay. Now that that is over, here are my thoughts:
Overall: OMG SQUEEE MERLIN'S BEARD, BRAIN, AND TOENAILS, SO, SO, INCREDIBLY GORRAM WICKED AWESOME SWEET.
Can a movie be (sadly IMHO, not that fond of pumpkin pie) Harry/Hermione, yet gloriously Harry/Cedric at the same time? Because GOF totally was.
Harry/Hermione moments
Hermione/Harry interaction at the burrow when Hermione first shows up.
Tent scene
Reunification of the trio
So very many lines and interactions that I can't be bothered to list them.
Harry/Cedric moments (GLEE!)
Cedric helps /Harry/ off the ground after the portkey, not, I don't know, one of the /girls/
Harry dragging Cedric off to 'prepare him for the task' behind some bushes
THE BRIDGE SCENE OMG SQUEE!!!11!1!one!!one1!eleventyone
"The prefect's bathroom is a nice place to take a bath"
See my icon (made by the lovely lj user laurel_tx) for my opinions on that scene
WHY THE %$@# ARE THE DEATH EATERS WEARING &*(#*$@ KLANSMAN HATS?!?!?!?!?
Can I marry Moody? Cuz he was gorram awesome. I love him so much.
Speaking of which, new, palatable, ferret scene. Which was the most glorious scene ever. In the book I was a bit busy shouting child abuse at the fact that he was not only transfiguring a teenager, but smashing him, and his head, into /stone/ to get too much humor out of the scene, but in the movie *collapses into laughter*
Alright, Voldie -
well, before I continue this I would like to clarify that I have no issue with homosexuality at all which should be evident given my previous posts.
That said, why, oh why, did Voldemort say Crucio so gay-ly? It was very high pitched, and pronounced in a moviecliche!gay kinda way, and cast with a rather girly wrist flop/flick.
Other than the Crucio I was rather fond of this Voldemort. Though he was a bit more muscled than I imagined.
After having read the parody of GOF (found here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/mistful/77613.html#cutid1) I am also struck by the random (attractive[to some]) boys dropping out of trees. How very very odd.
I was more affected by Cedric dying in the movie than in the books by far. In the books he was some random, newly introduced, character that we were barely aquentences with. In the movie he was a nice young man who loved life only to have Voldie be all, "HAHA! not only do I pwn j00, I make fun of you at the same time." And so did the only hardcore hufflepuff die. *tear*
Just try and take ubertall!Neville's rememberall now Malfoy! He'll beat you up.
Hermione/Krum and Neville/Ginny. So much lovely sachrinne, sweet, romantic, fluff. *sighs happily*
Men in audience: WTF?!? Where are the Veelas!
Qudditch Match: *is never seen*
I love Rita Skeeter. So wonderfully annoying.
Apparently gymnastics is cumpulsary for the proud (macho and buzzcutted) sons of Drumstang. As is oversized baton twirling. I mean staff stomping. I do however, greatly approve of fire-spitting a pheonix. That's just awesome.
Dumbledore seems to have accidently stolen Madame Maxime's Beaubatons robes. And worn them. To welcome her and her school.
Has the fact that I'm currently studying WWII warped my vision, or was one of Dumbledore's rings an iron cross?
For giants and half giants, the perfect date begins with a light snack from your partners beard, and then cooing over deadly creatures.
Igor Karkaroff has the fugliest teeth in the world. Seriously. Fugliest in the /world/.
Why couldn't Moody teach the next year? He would have been way more awesome, and informative, then Umbridge.
Why didn't Moody just, I dunno, turn Harry's bed, or deskchair, or broom into a portkey as oppossed to turning the Triwizard cup into a portkey, tricking the GOF into spitting out Harry's name, rigging the tournament so that Harry would win, etc? Or just turn a note into a portkey and send him a letter?
Snape in homework room: *is hilarious*
Myrtle is the godess of nazgirls and fangirls. Seriously. She acts just like one, totally gets away with it, and it's semi-canon! That bathroom scene - too funny. I almost fell out of my theater seat.
"Almost all the bubbles were gone. *leers*"
So, Voldie's brilliant plan is to reveal all his followers, and then realease Harry from a fully incapacitated position, grant him his wand, and wait to fight him one-on-one so they may duel like proper gentlemen? No wonder he keeps on loosing. I mean, why on earth didn't Wormtail just cut Harry's throat with the knife? In one foul swoop they'd have killed Harry, and revived Voldemort.
The scene where Harry comes back with Cedric's body: FLAWLESS
You know, I can never tell, but is Nagini kinda speaking, or at least voiced by a female human in the dream sequence?
If Moody is Dumbledore's 'old friend,' why the !@#$ didn't he notice he was an imposter?
Why wasn't veritaserum administered to Lucius Malfoy and all the others who claimed to be under the Imperious curse?
Why wasn't it given to Snape when he switched sides? (Though I personally think Snape was acting on Dumbledore's orders, thus the coward angst, and the Dumbledore pleading. Dumbledore wouldn't plead for his own life. This may, of course, be me wanting to hope that gorram it, the entire Slytherin house cannot be loyal to Voldemort! Also, Dumbledore could have been pleading for /Snape/, as in, "Don't throw your life away to that genocidal, Hitler-wannabe, noseless, half-bood, freak." That whole 'Snape's alignment and alliegence' thing is for another post, and another day.
Why didn't anyone get Barty Crouch Jr. to a psychiatrist? He had blatant and freaky facial ticks. It was creepy and obvious. I wish they hadn't had him doing that.
OMG the Wierd Sisters are guys? Now I have to scrap my Wierd Sisters sims.
That's about it for now except for a House Quiz:
The sorting hat says that I belong in Hufflepuff! <td width="9%" bgcolor="#FBF5D8" class="Normal">  </td> Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot, and treat them just the same." Hufflepuff students are friendly, fair-minded, modest, and hard-working. A well-known member was Cedric Digory, who represented Hogwarts in the most recent Triwizard Tournament. </td> </tr> <td width="75%" class="Normal"> </td>
Take the most scientific Harry Potter
Quiz ever created.
Get Sorted Now!
current mood:  enthralled
current music: GOF soundtrack

From neroli66
I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
Repost this if you believe homophobia is wrong
current mood:  at the hate
current music: "I Am What I Am" from "La Cage Aux Follies"

Here is a community icon for us avengers. I created it using Blambot's "Badaboom" font I downloaded from http://www.fontface.com and a random superhero guy from a google image search. I am fairly certain I am breaking no copyright laws. Here is the url where it is located(I am a complete n00b, I couldn't figure out how to get the add image to function properly. *buries face in shame* All I got was... nothing. A blank space in the post.); help yourselves.

On a side note, any suggestions for mottos, color schemes etc. will be welcomed.
