"I killed Harry Potter!"

[keire_ke]

I was most emotional when they showed the Narnia trailer. Other than that, I liked it.

I loved Neville. Ginny too, although she barely spoke a word. Ron was born to whine, it seems. The logic of having magic strong enough to warp space and defy the fundamental rule of chemical reactions (mass of the components = mass of product, unless conjuring things out of thin air is merely transporting them from somewhere else), but unable to alter things such as fabric still escapes me. So does the mentality of teenage boys, but let's not go there. Seriously, I understand the need for money, but really. They can change teapots into rats and still wear patched clothes. *shakes head*

My point? The Goblet of Fire is a good movie. Entertaining, well-rounded and with plenty of boys/men to ogle. Yes, that includes Ralph Fiennes. I have never quite understood why people found Voldie sexy (well, other than the mass-murdering psycho bit. That's always appealing) but now I'm starting to. Of course, naturally, a world would end if Voldie was reborn naked (on a random note, major Alien: Ressurrection flashes there). Because the innocent minds of HP-loving children would be warped forver! Of course Myrtle pawing Harry in a bathtub is entirely appropriate. *sarcasm*

The first task was needlessly dramatised. Really, was it necessary to sacrifice all those innocent roof tiles? Second was okay... Even if I was hoping for prettier merpeople. The talk with Sirius? I know magic and all, but to me it make more sense is a head would appear in the flames rather than in the embers. You know, like a picture shows on a computer screen, not the keyboard. Draco-ferret scene most amusing. *snickers* Malfoy does, apparently, get in people's pants. *chortlesnort* Also: what's with the synchronised ballet entrance, blue-ladies? It looked like a pre-striptease routine. On the other hand, Durmstrang really cool. Sparkles and all. And Viktor Krum. *grins*

Still cannot understand the thing with Hermione and Ron. Do they have anything in common? I mean, at all? Apart from the so-called awkward moments the movies insist on having, for some inexplicable reason, Hermione is much more compatible with Harry. Might be just me though.

Overall, I have to say I still like part 3 better. Cuaron had managed to give his movie a character, which I found lacking in GoF. Maybe I'm just a sucker for interesting shots, but I felt that things like the freezing flowers, or going through the clocks gave PoA a spirit. Newall kept the atmosphere and tried to imitate that style, to an extent, but his touch was a tad too heavy to capture it. Might be just me. Or maybe I'm biased, cause PoA is my favourite book of the series.

Random book thought: is it me, or is JKR trying to pair everyone up in a hurry?

Random movie though: I find Snape much more believable, as a character, in the movies than in the books. Sure, he still is a juvenile git, but he is much more regal and composed. More teacher-ly too.

Random thought about Narnia: I know I'm picking on details here, but didn't Jadis have black hair?
