featherxquillSo you guys I just saw the movie and
YAY:
RUFUS. Rufus opening the movie, and his ACCENT (wtf is it, actually, but its awesome anyways) and his little sigh of disappointment with the snitch, and bawww I wish there'd been more of him, but at least he got to be awesome.
LUCIUS AND SNAKEY OMG SNAKEY RIP. Seriously did he actually wibble because omg you guys, that was tragic and hilarious at the same time.
Auntie Muriel! Okay so she was more sort of amused and a little bit wise rather than caustic and a little bit drunk, BUT STILL. She totes butted into their conversation and was all RITA SKEETER IS AWESOME and ilu Auntie Muriel.
Neville! BAMF. Can't wait to see him in the next one.
Seriously omg Umbridge, and really that entire Ministry scene. The statue, fuck. Just seeing that actually brought to life, and then how delighted Umbridge is with it all without actually being a Deatheater. Seriously, she is so fucking creepy - so much creepier than Bellatrix because we know she isn't one of Voldie's people, she just seriously thinks that what was happening there was GOOD, and gah. I also absolutely loved all the little details related to her - the pink in the walls and the booklets and inside the office with her extra pairs of shoes and just all the detail there.
The pacing. I actually really liked the pacing of the film. It worked so much better than in the book. The camping sort of increased the tension/broke up the action sequences in a really nice way.
Hermione and her parents, and that entire opening sequence. Petunia in the car and THAT LOOK ON HER FACE, omg, like she had no lines at all but that one shot and you could feel her life falling apart around her right there.
BATHILDA WAS FUCKING DISTURBING SHIT OMG JUST LIKE I THOUGHT I WAS ACTUALLY MAKING THESE LITTLE SQUEAKING NOISES BEFORE THEY WENT IN THERE. AND EW THE FLIES OMG but also lol hitting Nagini with a brick and it doing nothing whatsoever except piss her off more.
DOBBY OMG you were funny and awesome and strong and then I bawled my eyes out, JUST LIKE IN THE BOOK. I am so glad that Dobby got his moment. A FREE ELF.
That Bellatrix/Hermione was actually really kind of awesome. I mean I didn't think they'd quite go there with it being that sexual but they really really did and whoah. Dude.
SNAPE. Seriously lulz at the fluffy wig aside (wtf, seriously), it is all there in his eyes in that first scene, omg. I don't know how they're ever going to have him cast that girly-ass patronus in a serious fashion, though.
WAH:
No McGonagall D:
Also I thought Rita was supposed to be IN this movie and not just like, fucking animations they took from GoF wtf. Is that it???? Because fuck you, WB, if it is and you got my hopes up about her maybe actually having a scene just for THAT.
WTF the Burrow was in tact again after burning it down? Seriously what the fuck was the point of the burn the Burrow scene in HBP, then?
Where was Fenrir? Seriously, I swear he was cast? Are they keeping him until part 2?
Randomly interesting:
Peter's reprieve. I wonder whether he's going to be in part 2, then, and if so, what his role will be.

Date: 2010-11-25 05:51 pm (UTC)I'm pretty sure that Rufus was supposed to be Welsh - it's certainly a Welsh name. And I totally agree that he was awesome and it was a shame that he wasn't used more but it was very effective.
Totally agree with you about Neville, Umbridge, Dobby, Muriel and Lucius. And Bathilda really was the creepiest fucking thing ever! Other than Umbridge perhaps...
And I was wondering whether anyone else got the vibe from the Bella/Hermione scene. Nice to know I'm not alone, lol!
There had better be a fuck load of McGonagall in the second part. I realise the running with the desks might be out of the question for Mags but there's still a lot of awesomeness there (seriously, when I read the book I remember when she turned up and I cheered and then within about two seconds she'd already reconfirmed my love in about fifty different ways).
And fuck them for promising us Rita and not delivering. I saw that picture of her in the red and black clothes so I'm hoping she'll turn up wearing them as she was wearing the green suit on the book cover.
And incidentally, I'm glad you think WTF over the Burrow. To this day I still think that was put in purely so Molly could have a tangible reason for wanting revenge on Bellatrix other than the fact that she's evil (and awesome and sexy but that's just fandom). I think they put it in because film viewers are a bit slow.

Date: 2010-11-26 05:51 am (UTC)It's totally canon that that sort of thing happened, right? That he couldn't sneeze and quietly wipe his hand on his sleeve without Rita being all I SAW THAT and making his life a misery but with lots of UST, right?Because Miranda and Bill have such awesome chemistry that any such scene would be epic.
