lagilmanAnd so I dragged myself out to see Harry Potter tonight, mainly so I could continue living with the rest of the fannish world (at least until I admit that I don't plan to read The New Book until sometimes in September, anyway)
My reaction? Lovely fun, as always (the fight scene is magnificently choreographed and shot), and everyone handed in superb jobs as always (and Daniel R? OMG I saw a flash of the man he's going to become and I wish I were 15 again. Okay, 20.)
But the best moment came when I turned to C. (who knows not the books or the movies) and crowed "Because he's Dumbledore, that's why!" (followed soon after by "Because she's Hermione, that's why!")
That said, as lovely as it was -- once was enough. Like the book, it was a delightful time and now I'm done.
(EtA: I should have mentioned that the actress who plays Luna is perfect, perfect, perfect and I adored the character in a way I couldn't in the book.)
And although we were disappointed not to get previews for Spiderwick Chronicles (sorry, Holly), they showed previews for Stardust (want. now. NOW!) and a terminally adorable and possibly hysterical movie called Enchanted. So yes. So very, very yes. Just for the damn chipmunk.
(they also showed previews for The Dark is Rising and I could weep. I indeed may weep. It will look very nice I'm sure [I recognized many of the scenes as image-perfect] but that has about as much in common with the books as Demi Moore's "The Scarlet Letter" had with the classic novel of the same name.)
And now, I must go do laundry and pack up the car so I'm ready to hit the road tomorrow. Necon, ho! (no to be confused with the Necon Wh-- what? Oh, right. shhhhhhh.)
