For some real fun, try out the Harry Potter RPG! (That has not moved!)

I appreciate the feedback, though! 
You know, I figured that she just made the bet with Flitwick because she was so frustrated by his dismissive attitude, then I realized I'd given her the line earlier about wishing she'd bet a Galleon on who'd be next to come down with the dragon pox. Heh heh, maybe Madam P. is a bit of a sporting woman. I just had this kooky thought of her catching Ludo at making book on the Gryffindor/Hufflepuff Quidditch match, reaming him out soundly, taking some points away from him (can she do that?), then asking him what his odds on Hufflepuff were, and scoffing at them. Weird, weird thoughts... Apologies if that's not what you're asking about, but that's the answer to "Who Died in the Riddle House." | This message has been edited by hogwarts on Dec 5, 2001 12:06 PM |
Yes, the Lupine is a nice touch. And you are bang-on about the photo, it is "The Lupins in Happier Days." Mentally, I've always made Remus about 5 at the time of the bite (vs. 3 in the old Happy Family Photo). Ha, I lose track of what I've said around here about Kevin & Freddy taking over my muse, those little rascals. The glaring-eyes motif actually strikes me as an accurate idea of their typical nightmares. Kat's going to have my first K&F story up soon; I'm still anxious to see how it flies. And truly, I haven't totally abandoned Irene and Jane and Ludo, they'll be back.| This message has been edited by hogwarts on Dec 6, 2001 7:24 AM |
) Something I noted in the "Sorceror's Stone" movie was that, when they panned around the staff dining table, I didn't see anyone who looked remotely like Professor Sprout. I would have gone with someone blonde (Prunella Scales, aka Sibyl Fawlty, is one who comes to mind, although there are plenty of British actresses who can play mature, slightly dowdy characters). Maybe Sprout and Pomfrey are actually twin sisters and we just don't know it yet... ) that the links from here no longer work. Jane and Irene are minor supporting characters this time, as a couple of their classmates take center stage. This will be my first posted foray into the saga that has been occupying all my writing time of late. Prof. Brinklove has been my Guinea Pig on this stuff, and if she's game to post it, I'm game to let her. It does have a fun Madam Pomfrey in a featured role, and nice little parts for Hooch and Flitwick. I guess you could call me a "transfer student" from Unseen University, 'cos it's my love of Discworld that helped get me into Harry Potter in the first place! Friends of mine who have read BOTH series say that it sounds as if UU is where you should go after you graduate from Hogwarts'; I can't say I disagree with the idea. (One being an earlier school and the other being a University that you enroll at when you're at least 18...it works perfectly!)
and my characters. Do stick around! I had no idea it was two seperate words: Bertie _Bott_... I put down stuff that made me sound decent, but fairly boring...however, DECENT is the key word. It thought I was the most muggle-ish muggle that ever existed, though! :P I mean that as a compliment! I ADORE Rincewind! (And a friend of mine that I recently got into Discworld was ready to fight me over him after reading less than half of the Colour of Magic...) I have no idea who's going to be playing Lupin in the next movie, but if he looks right for that part, I'd reccommend him for Rince-baby as well. I LOVED that. 
It especially works as the name of a CLUMSY witch who keeps falling off her damn broom! :P And of course he has his shoes; you wouldn't want to climb around on a gargoyle without shoes. Now, as to where the rest of his clothes went...??? I went back and looked at Jane and Ludo - the biggest change I see is Jane's new nose (which looks fine). Did you see my comment below that Jane's smile actually looks a lot like Mrs. Tweedy's smile on the Chicken Pies billboard? Hermione is excellent, too; a bit cuter than some people might imagine her, but that's all right. I really enjoyed her. Dan/Harry is fine, and certainly has his moments, although he gets a bit overshadowed by the other two IMO (part of the perils of being the 'straight man.'). I want to go to Diagon Alley! I want the DVD so I can just study Diagon Alley. It's like this insane Dickensian fantasyland, I love it! They should get an art direction Oscar on that alone. The Dursleys were good; that look that Mr. Dursley gives Harry as he's tossing the letters on the fire was so horrid! Boooooo! And I loved his 'going mad.' That first potions class with Snape, where he comes banging in and launches into his speech, loved that, and Hermione's perfect "ooh! ooh!" hand-in-the-air routine, that was so cute. I know I had more things to say, but I need to go wash my hair...| Create your own forum at Network54 |
