I never imagined her with a Scottish accent. It does take me right out of the scene when she opens her mouth. The actress, however, is even prettier than I imagined the character in my head.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok, good. Not just me. That accent throws me off every. single. time.
Cho herself is beautiful. That accent? Just seems so out of place, kinda.

Benedict Wong, who appeared with Billy Boyd in On A Clear Day has a similar Scots accent. I spent all my time listening to how he said things, rather than what the character was saying.
Then again, I'm transfixed by Dougray Scott. Must be a thing with me.

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
The British covers have the scar to the side.

The British books are actually kind of inconsistent:
Chamber of Secrets is to the left: [link]

Chamber of Secrets is the one I was looking at! (I'm re-reading the whole series now)

Boy do I prefer the US covers!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
OMG those covers are...um... horrid. I think I'm in actual physical pain from looking at them. That's almost as bad as an ita link.

You know I didn't think anything could be as bad as the French covers, but I guess I was wrong.
ETA: a right proper link

Art Crawl!!!
Wow. Pointy witches hats that somehow also manage to look like pilgrims.
How do the French do that?
