That Lightning Scar

I am currently rekindling my love for the Harry Potter books. When I finished watching The Deathly Hallows part 2 again, I felt driven to read the seventh book for the simple reason that I liked the final battle between Harry and Voldemort there better. I also couldn't accept the fact that Harry wasn't able to repair his original wand in the movie.

There were so many great parts from the book that just never made it to the films that it's almost a shame that it's all over and done with. I'm not sure what's included in the HP UK box set but it would be great to actually see more of the book on screen.

What were the things I would have liked to see? The Hogwart's giant squid, the elf kitchen, more Quidditch, Peeves, Charlie Weasley, more chemistry between Harry and Ginny, the Harry/Dursleys farewell with surprising Dudley moment, more Grimmauld scenes from Book 7, Nigellus Black, more of the Invisibility Cloak, conclusive ending to Peter Pettigrew, Snape/McGonagall confrontation, Harry inside Ravenclaw tower with Luna, more of us seeing Neville's big part with the whole Voldemort situation, Teddy Lupin, more Sirius Black backstory please, how Voldemort gathered all his horcruxes (even the accidental one), more screen time for Nymphadora Tonks, Kreacher's Tale, Winky, aftermath of Hogwarts attack from book 6, Bill Weasley in the Hogwarts infirmary while Molly and Fleur have a row, Fleur at the Burrow, Rufus Scrimgeour and Harry confrontations, and so on and so forth.

Sad to see all those scenes excluded from the movie but at least the films worked out well. Still, nothing beats the original. Now, excuse me as I go back to listening to my Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire audio book. If you have a book of your own, go ahead and read it. It's still great, I assure you :-D

What if?

My cousin's daughter posted these on her facebook. The 'what if' version of the Harry Potter world where the actors are put in different roles.

Daniel Radcliffe in:

Hufflepuff - He looks like a wee lil' Irish boy who's as persistent as Colin Creevey and seems to be easily surprised. 

Ravenclaw - Kinda reminds me of the boyish good-looks of Cedric Diggory. He looks like a serious guy too. 

Slytherin - Looks like he's sick and/or dying. With that sneer on, it's so tempting to smack him in the face with a broom.

Emma Watson in: 

Hufflepuff - I don't have anything against Bonnie Wright but - at the very least - this was how pretty Ginny Weasley was supposed to be. 

Ravenclaw - A very quiet girl. Somewhat timid but not shy. Would probably end up being one of Cho Chang's friends.

Slytherin - The IT girl. The mean girl. The 'you're the dirt on my shoe so not worth my time,' kind of girl. Queen biatch as it were.

Either way, she's pretty in all the versions. 

Rupert Grint in: 

Hufflepuff - So effeminate. Though I love the red hair, I can't stand that stare. Freaks me out. 

Ravenclaw - Another one of those boyish good-looks kind of face. A little too pretty I think. Is everyone in Ravenclaw this attractive?

Slytherin - Not too bad. Doesn't look as arrogant as Draco but definitely has some swag. The type that stays on the sidelines and gets amused at other people's misery.

How about you? What do you think?

posts

I feel bad for not posting recently. Haven't found the inspiration to do it these days even after watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 and Captain America (both of which are quite good I assure you). I'll get to posting lots eventually. Maybe if I get another Pottermore account :-)

Pottermore

Ok. I'm a fan and because of it, all this Pottermore hype is getting to me.

Ever since this showed up, I've been extremely excited like you wouldn't believe. I'm actually really glad about this site. I can't take the idea that Harry Potter is over. Even after watching Deathly Hallows part 02 I still feel like there's more to come. That being said, I wonder if it's ok to have more than one Pottermore account? O.O

Harry Potter

Like I said from the previous post, I still haven't watched the last Deathly Hallows movie. I just thought that after watching that, I'd rehash all the movies and post the things I wished were in the films that were in the books. That seems like a fun thing to do.

boo!!!

Still haven't watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2!

oh, look what i found!

Scouring through my hard drive and found old works I did and some pictures I edited.

Did this for a friend. Wanted to say happy birthday but in a more personal way. Since he was a big fan of V, I edited this picture from the movie and made it look like the one from the graphic novel. Had to search for a lot of words that started with 'v' just for the greeting. Didn't even realize until I gave it to him that I used the word 'vivacity' twice. For shame.

This one is from the anime...agh. It's just so long. Ok, here's the title Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai, or, as I fondly call it, Ano Hana. The flower at the end is a bit pitiful. Was too lazy to fix it. This is from the last episode. This scene made cry. I hate crying.

Dean Winchester and Mary Campbell, or rather, Mary Winchester. This if from the third episode of the fourth season of Supernatural. Gotta say it, just love Dean. I really do.

A gif I made of the Marauders taunting Snape from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. There's an error there somewhere that I am not going to point out. 

Another Harry Potter inspired work. This is from the sixth book. My first draft of the gif.

Other works:

I'll be leaving it at that for now.
