We have all read the books Frank. That is simply not the nature of this discussion.
We are taking the book by chapter.

Your statements are pretty useless here.

Ugh, there's one part in the movie, where Fred and George are about to enter their names in the goblet, when Hermione turns to the camera and says "It's not going to wo-ork". I cringe every time she says that, I hate it.

Nice going, Frank. Your statements haven't shocked anyone here (do you think we're keener HP fans engaged in this in-depth talk but HAVEN'T read HP6?) but the deliberate rudeness was galling and uncalled for.



And back to our off-topic topic, HAS there been any update on Gary? His reps say WB hasn't even approached him for HP5.

[Overthemoon6]

I doubt they would try to go find a new Sirius.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Exactly, especially if they haven't even approached Gary. (I originally thought maybe negotiations just weren't going well.)

If they have HP5 with NO Sirius...

Oh god that would be awful!

As a side note, at the WB tours in Burbank, CA, you get to view a whole room full of props for the movie, and you get to put on the sorting hat, and it tells you what house you belong in! I went over Thanksgiving, it's so much fun. I highly reccommend it. Oh, and they filmed "I Should Tell You" there.

What house were you put in?

I don't think I'm calculating or evil enough to be in Slytherin, and I'm not floozy enough to be in Hufflepuff, and I'm not smart enough to be in Ravenclaw. I'll say Gryffindor, not because I'm particularly cool or brave, but because if Neville and Hermione are in it, that's me right there!

Lol, actually it's a funny story. One of my friends who went with me auditioned to be in the movie as Pansy Parkinson, so she's all into Slytherin, and she told us that was the house she was going to get into. My other friend (LaVieHilary) and I laughed and said she was going to get Hufflepuff. So we went up to the hat, Hilary gets Slytherin and my other friend goes up and the hat says, "Hmmm...where to put you. I know...HUFFLEPUFF!" Hilary and I started howling with laughter, enough so that people started looking at us. Then I went up, and the hat said "Another Weasley...I know what to do with you...Gryffindor!!" My Hufflepuff friend was mad and demanded to be resorted, so she did. And got Hufflepuff again. Then she demanded that I be resorted. Both times I got Gryffindor again.

It was so funny!

LOL! Okay, THAT'S funny.

I think I'd be a smidge disappointed if I was sorted into Hufflepuff. Yes, I'm a bit of a snob.

[Overthemoon6]

Posted: 3/11/06 at 8:38pm

Me too. It's sort of like
"well, Gryffindor takes the brave ones, Slytherin takes the ambitious ones, Ravenclaw takes the smart ones. The rest are Hufflepuffs."

Especially when they have doofus names like Hannah Abbott and pompous asses like Ernie MacMillan.


Sincerely,
Slytherin Tiff

I would either like to be in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor.

But since I'm Richard Harris, I suppose I'm in Gryffindor. And since the sorting Hat's word is law.

Love
Gryffindor Megan

And since I'm Emma Watson, I'm apparently a Gryffindor.


And an alcoholic. (Is that a pina colada next to her elbow???)

[Overthemoon6]

Posted: 3/11/06 at 8:53pm

Lol probably.

And I'm dead. Just watch. I'm tight with G*d.

*gets G*d to smite Michael Gambon for being a fool*

Oh, you did not just say SMITE! I only learned that term last fall!


ETA: Going back for a bit - I swear I'm not a pedophile (y'know, I'm really not that old, so I don't know why I feel the need to keep prefacing my comments with this!), but doesn't Devon Murray/Seamus have gorgeous eyes??

ETA2: And JFTR, I find Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman and Pierce Brosnan totally sexy. So I don't just go for the minors, okay? OKAY??

Psh, Tiff. Compared to the way my jaw hit the floor the first time I saw the prefect's bathroom scene and the thoughts that acompanied it, you're an angel.
Oh, hey! Dan and co. are legal in the UK! That's got to count for something, right? Right??

Oh good, now you make me look like the sane one!

The way I see it, me lusting after Daniel (which I do not! DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT! okaymaybealittle) is no weirder than, say, Clay or Stephen lusting after Scarlett or Keira. And there's a larger age gap there!

*whew*

[Atrias]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 12:13am

Lusting after Daniel...eeew.

[Rose_MacShane]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 12:13am

Tchah! I'm sane! I know I don't have a chance in blue hell of meeting Dan, much less of anything more happening. It's just...damn it, it's not fair for a 16 year old to look that good!!

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 12:14am

Rose, I pray you're in your 20s as well, or else I'm going to feel very lonely here.

[Rose_MacShane]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 12:16am

Yuh-hup. 21.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 12:19am

Oh thank God, that's close enough to me.

So we're not any weirder than the 30 year olds who lust after, what, 20-year-old Mishka Barton!

[yodamarie78]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 12:20am

However Tiff there is a big difference between a 20 year old and a 17 year old.

I'm just glad that I can say that while I think Dan is cute, there is no lust there. That would be just plain icky!

Shoot no. We just know good-looking guys when we sees 'em...

[Atrias]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 12:23am

It would be to weird for me to lust after Dan, guys my age are immature.
