Thanks! Hee hee.
I'll tell you what though. 3 hours of wearing that fake nose ring and now I remember why I took my real one out.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Harry says to his son that he was named after two headmasters, which means that Snape's portrait will join the other Headmaster portraits.
Or at least that Harry considers him a Headmaster.

I dunno, I thought everybody laughed when Ron said he was famous because they knew Harry was famous. How could you grow up Weasley and not? I just don't think the kids had expanded "famous" to "everybody on the Express staring at you." As kids won't.
I also thought she was setting up Dean and Luna.
I was really appalled most of the book, thinking that Snape really was bad...but Silvery Goo of Exposition made him into one of my favorite characters ever.
Voldemort's soulshard as an abandoned baby left under a seat in King's Cross was gutwrenching. That was just a nightmarish image, all the worse for knowing it was the best-case scenario.
I am glad that Neville took out the penultimate Horcrux, making the prophecy pertain to him as well as Harry.
Now I just wish I could look forward to my son going to Hogwarts.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am as one with Raq. I also loved finding out that Perunia tried to get into Hogwarts and was not accepted. Explains a lot.

Now I just wish I could look forward to my son going to Hogwarts.
You want him in Ravenclaw. Admit it.

I wish the same for Emeline.

Hell, I wanna be in Ravenclaw. I'd be an awesome Research Mage.

That was another thing I loved, the password as question for Ravenclaw.

It creeped me major that they just left it there...squalling.
Hell, I want to finish my PhD at Hogwarts. Since most schools are offering 'professional degree' courses to keep the galleons rolling in, why couldn't they?
PeruniaDuring much of my reading of the series, my dyslexia addled brain read Petunia as "Purina". Must have been the on-going 'horsey-faced' description of her.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
And that's my arguement. If you have to cut whole chapters out of a book, so that the movie can come in at a reasonable length, you can't then go adding brand new stuff.
Film and text are very different media. Sometimes, to tell the same tale you have to tell a different story.
