Still obsessed with Harry Potter

[BandofMothers]

Hope there aren't now about 10 of these cos we've all opened at the same time.

I have warned by DC's that I'm going to cry at that point!

my dc's not by

Ta-daaaaaaaa!! Does my bum look too big in this nickname?

Ah Faramir, Faramir, he is deeeeeeevine! Love the character and David Wenham (?) is scrumdiddlyumptious!

BOM, totally agree about that Eomer/Eowyn moment, it made me shiver just reading your post.

One thing that really bugs me about the films is bigging up Arwen's character, but she is a bit nothingy in the book I suppose, she's more important this way (while still following the general Tolkein line I think). One of the bits I love in the book is the Houses of Healing bit in ROTK (I think), with Eowyn and Faramir. I was gutted when I saw the film at the cinema as you didn't even see them getting together. There was a bit in the extended DVD though. Really important bit for 2 fave characters - how annoying?!? Generally ace though.

Sorry, total hijack! Back to HP

Oh and (sorry!) does anyone find Viggo Mortensen remotely sexy in anything else? He's all weak chinned with silly thin blonde hair! As Aragorn he is sooooo yum (one plot change I was glad of - much sexier than Tolkein's description!).

Sorry, sorry, I'll stop now.

You look gorgeous dahling!!

( oh yes, Arwen!! Poor Glorfindel - she pinched some of his best bits)

(and Aragorn is supposed to be ugly, as it says "all that is gold does not glitter", and the man is gorgeous!!)

I am unreasonably excited about this book coming out, get quite jittery at the thought of it.

Thankyou lili, I'm feeling pretty hot-to-trot!

I've just finshed re-reading CoS for the first time since reading book 6, and a couple of bits made me go 'ooh' and 'aha', but can I remember them? Can I buggery! When I move on to PoA I'll have to use post-its to mark important bits.

What I still can't quite believe is that after this, that'll be it! Story over, we'll know (nearly) as much as JKR. The worst bit is there'll be no more theorising! I'm looking forward to the 'and then' bit at the end to see what happens to everyone, but I hope she leaves us some wiggle-room to imagine what might happen.

I cannot abide Lord of the rings.

sniff!

PhoenixSongbird: lovely name

I know its so hard to believe it will soon be all over!

I'm not sure how I will feel when it has ended Sad?, lost? relieved? angry(depending on outcome)? probably a mixture of all of these plus more!

I would love JKRowling to keep bringing out more HP books, maybe just little ones {{pleading smiley}}

What - the last book? I thought there would be on other afterwards. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

How could I not know? Where's the brandy?!??!

Oooow I hate it when good things come to an end. JK..if you're listening...please write another. ppllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

It would be great if she did an issue of Ron?s fave comic ?The Adventures of Martin Miggs, the Mad Muggle? as another charity book for Comic Relief, or something.

AHHH!

Portraits talk, but pictures don't.

So does that mean that DD's portrait in McGonagall's office may talk?

?Hogwarts: A History? would be good too. Might be a bit much for £1 though!

OK, i know this is in "Book" and not "Film" but you have discussed the film... I looked at the photos of the film, and Tonks just doesn't seem right to me, i imagined her more as the one out of 4 weddings (Scarlett).

Oh wow, i never realised she was "Marmalade" in "educating Marmalade" - i used to love that as a kid!

She's dead though isn't she?
I can't imagine JKR ever writing another book. Won't she retire with her lovely family and her millions?

JK has talked about doing a book for adults, she's mentioned writing a crime type thing before.

& who's dead? [confused emoticon]

scarlett out of 4 weddings is dead

her name was Charlotte Coleman and she died from an Asthma Attack about 6 years ago i think

Yes it was an asthma attack - very sad.
Be keen to see an adult book from her. I thought with a young family and money in the bank she'd want to take it easy but good for us if she wants to keep writing. Hermione would make a good detective.

Zoe Wannamker wasn't in any films after the first as it was ruomered (How do you spell that?) tha she asked for too much money to be in the next one.

Silly woman if it's true?

I remember hearing something about that, she was complaining they were all underpaid - article

I didn't know that about Charlotte Coleman, I really liked her in 4 weddings & in Oranges are not the only fruit

Yes she was lovely and would have made a good Tonks.

just read that article and found it very about Richard Harris

What a Silly woman Zoe Wannamaker is, it wasnt as if her role was vital!

Will have to book tickets for th efilm I think!
