Ahem, I must confess one of my disappointments to be that I found both Emma and Daniel to be far less attractive in Goblet than they were in Azkaban. I had hoped that as it became less pervy for me to find them attractive, they would naturally age into greater attractiveness.

But either they've hit an awkward spot of adolescent development, or their drop-dead gorgeous days are forever gone (though thankfully preserved in the amber of PoA).


Now, I am hardly known as one with any compunctions against robbing the cradle ... but I do get a bit self-creeped by lusting after kiddies who aren't even legal in the U.K. (where sex-allowed age is lower than in the states). What kind of cruel irony lies before me that I find them unattractive now that legal age approaches?



Ah well, there's always the Twins. :iSm:

I'll probably never see this movie again...it was fun in the theater, but two things make it completely unacceptable for my DVD collection...

1 - Dumbledore

2 - a 13 year old Harry, with years of Hogwarts schooling, acting surprised and saying "I love magic!". :VOMIT:

Saw it last night for the first time........
I could NOT possibly agree more. I know you cant really do a movie without the Dumbledore character but the voice and persona just werent there........not even a little.

the first of the series I can say 'eh...that was pretty marginal'.
disappointing to say the least.

Um, with 30 years of MagicKingdomry behind me, I still sometimes walk into the Park and exclaim, "I Love Disneyland!"

Appreciation of what's new is easy. It's the appreciation of what you've already got that is the secret to happiness and bliss.

Nah, not the equivalent in my eyes. Just say you had a teen who was into cars. If you showed him a brand-new Corvette, he might say "That's one sweet ride" but not "I love automobiles!"

I could hear Harry saying "What a cool spell!" but not "I love magic!"

Remind me to have you pick the nits out of my hair next time we meet.

Pot, kettle, black. :p

I couldn't agree with you more. I think it's an age appreciation thing though.

I had GoF in my basket at Target today and I just couldn't get myself to buy it.

I thought the "I love magic" line was believable. The guy did grow up with muggles. He only spends nine months a year at Hogwarts. I sometimes see a new gadget and think, "technology rules!" Yet, I've been around technology my whole life.

It may just be my perception, but I snickered when Harry said that. My teenage brothers also thought it was ludicrous, and I give them more credence on the believability of Harry than I give myself. Like NA said, I think it's an age appreciation thing that is completely unbelievable in a 13 year old.

Did iSm "I refuse to call the original Star Wars movie A New Hope" Zlick try to tell me I'm a nitpicker? :p Like GD said...
