The Ron on the French covers cracks me up. He looks so...French. All cheekboney and stuff. Doesn't look like Ron at all in my mind! (Harry, somehow still looks fairly OK to me, and Hermoine, though different, didn't make me laugh quite so much as Ron)
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

I'm reading a really good post-DH fic about Teddy Lupin's first year at Hogwarts, and the author just finished the end of the latest chapter at the boat dock at the school, with Teddy realizing for the first time how few students there are in his year (only fifteen), and the pureblood snooty girl asking him as if to say "well, duh..." "How many halfbloods do you think actually survived the year we were born?"
Something I didn't really think about until the author pointed it out--the off-screen deathcount in DH has got to be pretty high.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The German titles totally rule. The covers, not so much.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, that's a beautiful small (sad and eerie) detail.

Lisah, it's at Fernwithy's LJ, "Teddy Lupin and the Forest Guard" (she's leaving the character's name off for another week to guard against spoilers above the fold).

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I didn't realize there were adult versions of the books. Are there more wand innuendos?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
They're just different covers, omnis. The text is the same. But they look so much more respectable.
