Obligatory PoA blather

[pauraque_bk]

-Daniel Radcliffe is the biggest dork ever. <3

-They interviewed Tim Spall, and I only get to see about ten seconds of it? WOE. T_T

-How they can make a hippogryff look real and a dog look fake: Still Not Explained. On the other hand, underwater!Dementors: Ooh.

-Thewlis/Oldman OTP *whistles innocently*

-Apparently they were going to do the whole Sirius-almost-killing-Ron bit, but I imagine it was cut to reduce time and complexity. Movie!Sirius is not as dangerous as book!Sirius.

I randomly wish for Sirius/Ron. Does such a thing exist? If not, I hereby challenge you all to produce some. Humor my whim. Humor it, I say! *clap clap*

On that meme thingy, some people said they wished I would post about my real life. I was thinking about this, and realized that I really wouldn't know what to write about. My job isn't interesting. My only hobbies are conlanging and fandom, and I already post about those. I don't do a whole lot else... take care of the brother and the cat, do a variety of chores, go eat with people and talk about my job or fandom or politics... It's not as though there's a whole world of fascinating activities that I'm keeping from you.

Actually, when I do take note of interesting things in the world, I usually write them down and put them in my fic. My fiction is full of my own perceptions, attributed to characters.

I don't know, if I tried to write about real life, I think it would just be a lot of dull complaints. Cat coughed up a hairball again. Brother won't do his art homework. Slow drain, asshole dad, backyard overgrown with morning-glory vines...

Bloopers

I get the feeling that the WB is really controlling about how the movie franchise is interpreted--it's like they're afraid to let anything in that veers away from the rigid ideas they have about the HP world. I don't really have any evidence, but it's a vibe, you know? Like maybe they don't want to show anything that really contradicts their idea of the characters, maybe? Despite the *huge* popularity of Alan Rickman and Tom Felton (I read somewhere that Tom gets more fan mail than Dan Radcliffe), I think they're both really underutilized by the WB publicity machine.

The deleted scene Jamie Waylett described, where someone's boggart turns into a dancer and all the kids form a conga line (much to Draco's disgust), is the kind of thing I really wanted to see. That sounds like the *perfect* thing for a deleted scene/blooper reel, but we never get anything really *fun* like that. Dammit.
