Potter, You Rotter
So, I had planned to go to that book reading tonight in Little Five. I was getting blah about having to find a place to park, though (I failed parallel parking when I took my driver's license test; you're allowed to fail one thing and that was mine. I haven't improved since that time.).
Sam came home and asked me when I was going to see OotP!Movie. I replied that I really wasn't sure when I would get a chance. He reached into his wallet, handed me a twenty, and told me to go see it tonight.
So I did.
• So what the heck is up with superpowerful Ginny? Wtf?
• Why did they have Sirius dying via the AK instead of the completely pointless and random accident in the book? I like pointless and random much better.
• The banner of Fudge in the Ministry lobby? SERIOUSLY CREEPY.
• I greatly dislike that Harry didn't attempt to contact Sirius at Grimmauld Place. It makes him look d-u-m-b. Harry is not dumb.
• I suppose being the betrayer is a good way to have Harry and Cho break up, or something.
• Bellatrix was all kinds of awesome.
• LOVED Luna.
Also, I don't know that I'm quite ready for next Friday evening. Closed canon and open canon are two entirely different things. I don't feel like I'm that active in HP fandom any longer, obviously, and while there are local groups, I'm just not that into cosplay and so forth, which they are. Nothing wrong with that, it's just not something upon which I want to spend that much energy. My idea of a costume is my Slyth scarf and a cheap old Halloween cloak, and that's about how much effort I put into it if I dress up.
Still, though... HP. Without HP, I wouldn't have an LJ. I wouldn't know my darling wives. Jacob wouldn't have a goddessmother. And while there will still be two more movies, there will still be fic, there will still be fandom... part of it is definitely ending next Friday at midnight.
It's really just more weird than anything.
