Pony-dance. I was never really into mlp, but this little girl... she screamed at me, jumped at my throath and almost throttled me to buy her. XD
Yeah, the marauders and the third movie... I read the books before so I was convinced that everything was fine with the movies because I had all my facts together. First when I bought the dvd and started watching the movie thrice a day when my friend asked me how the hell Lupin is able to work with the Marauder's Map, I watched it carefully and surprise surprise, you just don't get one single fact about Remus, Sirius, James or Peter. Effing hell? The movie just leaves out one of the most important und beautiful friendship/hurt/comfort/trust/mistrust/betrayal-eras in the HP-universe (and one of my favorite too)! Excuse me, Mister Director but there were tons of moments where one could have dropped a small line about it. The last scene with Lupin, after he erases the map, for example. "Professor?"-"Yes, Harry?"-"One thing kept buggin me. How do you know this map?" *mysterious grin* "It was our invention.James was Prongs, Sirus was Padfoot, Peter was Wormtail and I was Moony. Goodbye Harry." There! Half a minute of dialogue, everything would have been... well not fine, but still better than the actual version. Why didn't they have me or anybody else, that actually is a fan direct the movie? -..- Alltogether, the movies and the marauders don't seem to together at all: The left-out parts in PoA were quickly followed by the most promising and badly disappointing scenes of their past (bullying Snape inclusive)in OotP. Sorry, but shattering Harry's sacred picture of his daddy could have needed a bit more glory and attention, don't you think so? Nonetheless as a Remus/Sirius-supporter the dialogue in the Shrieking Shack and the Remus-leans-against-the-door-and-looks-affectionately-at-Sirius-scene were at least tiny tributes to their friendship, even when James got left out (who needs him anyway mutters the fangirl...)
Ok, back to real problems: In D'dorf! Woah that is great! I wanted to go the premier but I have tickets for "Dance of the Vampire" at Wednesday evening (birthday present for my mum XD)so I will also have to wait till Friday before I can watch it in our tiny, little, ugly cinema around her. Cherioh for big-city-cinema! XD
