GoF thoughts

[valis2]

Rita Skeeter? Loved.

Moody? What an unusual performance! I cracked up.

Voldemort? Loved the interpretative dance.

Severus? DAMNIT NOT ENOUGH SNAPE ARGHGNASHTEETH.

Karkaroff? Needs dentist. Badly.

Huge portions of plot excised? Aw, I wanted to see veela. Waaaahhhhh.

Strange additions to plot? Er...why? Though honestly, the Neville Longbottom Smooth Man on the Dance Floor was terrific.

Character who popped up all the time? Ginny.

Twins? Funnier than they have been in the books. Honestly.

Draco? Where are you?

Oh, Draco's absence means more Lucius? Good-bye, Ferret. Hello, deliciously excitable and rather disheveled Lucius at the graveyard. No, keep ranting, sweetie. Mmm.

Favorite moment in the movie? Er, you're all going to say "wha?", but it's when Madam Maxine knocks the ceiling lamp aside as she enters the room after Harry has been confirmed as a Tri-Wizard Champion. Honestly, I thought I was going to roll my eyes eleventy million times at her, but she was just fine, and for some reason that moment just whacked me upside the head. I love the movies for those moments. The moments when you remember it's a magical world.

Harry's ridiculous jump out of the water and swandive back in at the beginning of the merpeople challenge? Ugh. Er, I should say, computer-generated-Harry, I think.

Emo!Hermione? Wow. Lay off the sugar.

Percy? Waaaah!! Where is Weatherby?

Krum contact lenses? Now THAT pissed me off. The whole point of Imperius is that you can't tell people are under it! That's why it's so scary!

Barty Crouch Jr? What happened to your lovely, moving, wailing scene where you can't believe your father is putting you away in Azkaban? What the hell is it with the silly frog tongue mannerism? I certainly hope that's not method acting.

Final Task? WTF!! I wanted a sphinx! Not some stupid Shining uppity carnivorous hedge.

And my favorite impression...

Not having to see a single house-elf in the entire production? Priceless.
