i've been reading 16 years. i first started reading chapter books when i was five, my family went on a trip and i didn't have anything to read so someone there lent me a children's version of the wizard of oz. i had three days to read over 100 pages which was an epic feat at the time. so i taught myself how to speedread, and i've been doing it ever since.

16 years of reading, and i've never had a character i hate more than severus snape. it's why i don't often read hbp, because ever since the first time, reading what he did, i couldn't stand him.

i just got back from watching HBP (bad fangirl, leaving it so late) and i was twitching the entire bus ride home. i wish harry had just avadaed him on the spot.

that being said, the rest of the movie was fairly good. cried twice, at the burrow and at dumbledore's death. ron's taking of the love potion was just like jason said; it looked like he was rolling on e. hilarious. and harry's felix was like he was stoned. i wish they'd given more supporting of harry to ron, it seemed hermione and ginny were all over him. <3 seamus.

okay, not to get finger-snappy but:

what's your deal with snape in that movie? i mean, maybe it's just because i'm morally in favour of euthanasia, but what he did took a lot of courage and really, seems to me to be the right thing to do. it wasn't murder. it was assisted suicide.

i thought it was all a little too obvious that snape was the good guy in the movie. i was like *headdeskcinemachair* for gods sake, director, try to be fucking subtle. this was the scene that launched a thousand battles over whether you could trust snape. try to make it seem like everyone who didn't wasn't a raving loon...

i did a little dance at dumbledore's death. not that i don't love him to pieces as a character, but by-god, gambon is possibly the worst actor ever and i'm well rid of him. (aww, there were ickly implications of gellert in it, i just wanted to hug him and go 'it's okay, bb, you'll meet him in evil-wizard heaven one day'.

and stoned!harry was awesome. i kept wondering why one of the teachers hadn't swept down and gone 'potter, you're coming with me to rehab' because it was like he was completely off his face.

i honestly have no problem against euthinasia. actually (and i probably shouldn't be admitting to this in public, seeing as it's illegal) my dad's already made me and my mom promise to never let machines run his body. but this is the way i see hbp:

draco gets a shitty deal; kill dumbledore or his family gets killed. narcissa and bellatrix go to snape and are like *unbreakable vow* help draco kill dumbledore or you die. skip a bunch of stuff. dumbledore *is successfully talking draco down from murder* snape "OH NO, IF DRACO DOESN'T KILL HIM I'M FUCKED" *kills the one person that's trusted and cared about him*

it's just like WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION? if someone told me help X murder jason/vince/your dad (someone you supposedly love) or you die, i'd be like LOL NO. well, i probably wouldn't laugh, seeing as i would be about a minute away from death, but i would chose to NOT murder the person that cares about me. can you see harry murdering arthur or sirius? of course not? because only a sociopath would think that murdering someone that important in your life is okay.

ron was all I LOVE EVERYTHING! and i giggled and in my head i was like "you just wait until you start rubbing harry's hair on the walk to slughorn" and then the pushing drinks on him, i remember this one time vince got super paranoid we were dehydrating and over the course of the night he made me and jason drink like 10 fucking cups of water. shit, now i want to write ron-is-addicted-to-amortentia!fic.

yeah, harry was just as good. "go talk to slughorn" "i'm gonna go see hagrid" hermione BUT WE HAVE A PLAN!!! "i'm feeling happy about Hagrid". <3 stoner!harry.

i swear, they better somehow mention dumbles has a boyfriend in one of the two DH movies. i mean we've already got the christians hating us, we might we well go the whole way, right? maybe even a flashback to snogging!

i don't think snape's decision was based solely upon saving his own head. there were a lot of factors that forced his hand. firstly, dumbledore was already dying. he wasn't talking draco down from murder so he didn't get killed, he was talking draco down from murder because he wanted to save draco from a life as a death eater. because dumbledore knew that draco needs snuggles... secondly, snape knew he was going to be important to the war. he's one of the few people who can save harry's arse. i mean, even in book seven he's still having to drag harry out of trouble every two seconds. and as much as dumbledore might want to be that guy, he was always shit at saving harry, always away on vacation whenever voldemort decided to descend on hogwarts... and dumbledore had already told him to do it. as much as i wouldn't murder my friends/family because someone else told me to, i would kill someone if they begged me. when dumbledore says 'please, severus', he isn't asking severus to save him...he's begging for death...

*ahem*

they're having a flashback to young dumbledore...and someone has been cast as grindlewald...so it might not be too much to hope (it probably is, but what the hey, i can dream)...

oh, stoner harry *snuggles him* oh, and loving!ron...please to be gettin him addicted to amortentia...
