HP Challenge Day 10: Horcruxes or Hallows?

Hallows, because the animation is beautiful.

HP Challenge Day Nine: Least Favorite Male Character

Mundungus Fletcher because he’s always stealing from Harry and disapparated when the “seven Harrys” were attacked by Death Eaters. Douche!

No photo cuz he fug.

HP Challenge Day Eight: What do you Think Would be Your Fave Lesson?

Divination with Professor Trelawney

“Together we shall cast ourselves INTO THE FUTURE!”

Exciting, right?

Also you know this class would be an easy A.

HP Challenge Day Seven: Favorite Female Character and Why

Professor McGonagall

Intelligent, brave, witty, transforms into a cat.

Oh, and knows how to dance.

“Now, place your right hand on my whayest.”

HP Challenge Day Six: What House Would You Want to Be In?

I would like to be in Gryffindor, comma, Good Student Category. Like Hermione.

But saying this in Kenneth Parcell’s voice means that I’ll probably get sorted in Hufflepuff.

Anything but Slytherin!

HP Challenge Day Five: Favorite Male Character and Why

Of course my favorite character is Neville, but that’s because I related to him most when I first read the books as an adolescent. Late bloomer/ugly duckling situation… Dude, I have to save Neville for Day 11. If you mad, I will fight you in my jammie jams. I know, enjoy some humorous Neville spam in the posts below…

Being older now, I think Harry is a great hero. Like in the last movie, when he goes back in to the Room of Requirement to save Draco and Goyle from the fire. I was like, DAMN THAT’S MATURE. I would NOT have done that. You’re making me a better person, Harry Potter. This is wrinkling my brain…

HP Challenge Day Four: Least Favorite Female Character and Why

Rita Skeeter. What is the point of this character? GURL WHAT IS YOUR LIFE. You show up just to be obnoxious, like just to troll Harry. If that’s your sole purpose, you show up in way too many of the books.

For shallow reasons, her nails…yikes.

HP Challenge Day 3: Is there any of the films adaptations that have made you angry…

… because they’ve ignored important parts of the book?

WARNING: here comes tl:dr musings… Feel free to not give an ‘eff.

A: Honestly, not really because I try to enjoy the film series as a separate narrative from the book series. I.e., I don’t re-read the book 7 before movie 7 comes out because I want to enjoy the movie as is, un-beleaguered by comparisons that lead to observations that “omg this important plot detail or character development was left out. Imma RAGE.”

Because, I like to be surprised anew. For example, I knew Neville became the BAMF I always suspected him to be, but had forgotten how exactly. And then when I see it, I’m like, Oh Neville your rock. I always believed in you!!

I guess you can call it willful ignorance?

THAT BEING SAID…. I have been re-watching the film series from the beginning after seeing HP 7.2. We gotta prolong our childhood somehow…right, my friends? I have to say, the Chris Columbus films (#1 and 2) were not as bad as I had figured they’d be.

BUT! Number 3, Prisoner of Azkaban, which had been held in high esteem, now fell because Guillermo del Toro never made it clear that MWPP was the the epic male friendship circle of Harry Potter’s dad’s friends. James Potter really gets the short shrift in the film series, right?

All we ever see of James Potter is a photograph of him waltzing with Lily Potter around some fountain that looks suspiciously like the scene had been shot in NYC’s Central Park. And then, with so much screen time given to Snape (not complaining), the characterization of Harry’s father is that of a douche that stole Harry’s mother from what would have been an epic romance with Snape. But…imo, Snape is like a major creeper harboring a crush for way too long. I don’t blame you tho, professor.

If you made it to the end, enjoy this macro!

HP Challenge Day Two: Your Favorite Movie

Deathly Hallows Part 1

These rock formations blow my mind! Whoever did the cinematography and location scouting did a great job.
