I think all three of them do very well in the funny and investigative scenes, but fall flat in the big (and little) emotional moments, of which there are increasingly more in the final 3 books. Radcliffe's response to anything bad happening seems to be "clench jaw / fall to knees / don't blink" and Emma Watson ZOMGWTFEYEBROWS.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I can feel it in my bones, folks. This is the one that's going to result in my neighbors and former classmates appearing on network news programs to say "He was always such a quiet sort..."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Nah, they'll just cast it with a bunch of white kids...

I feel quite certain that with Scatman Crothers among the dearly departed, they will instead hire Tracey Morgan to do the voice. shudder

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A bunch of people on Twitter are doing twisted Netflix recommendations (#netflixfkdup), with gems like:

"If you liked NATIONAL LAMPOON'S EUROPEAN VACATION, you'll love HOSTEL." - @raven1967
Because I need to know everything about Old Boy and I've never seen Castaway, I need this one explained for me:
