So, that HP film then...

[matgb]

So, um, yeah. Did I mention that while I was oop North we went to see that Harry Potter film on the Bradford IMAX? No? Ah well. SB wrote her review so I thought I'd do a quick summary of good and bad bits before the link below:

Good bit: Early introduction of Nymphadora Tonks (who is gorgeous)
Bad bit: She's barely there at all, completely wasted
Good bit: Helena Bonham Carter as Somebody Evil.
Bad bit: All her scenes were during the 3D bit, which was incredibly blurry from where we were sat, so I could barely see her. SRSLY, they give me Helena all gothed up and evil, and I can barely tell it's her? What was the point of that?
Good bit: Luna Lovegood, who I'm told is a) just as weird in the books and b) played by a fan who won a competition or something. So, um, the only kid actor who can actually act isn't an actual actor? Yeah, that makes sense.
Bad bit: Everything else.

There, that's a fairly good review I think. Anyway, for those that haven't seen it, don't want to see it, or simply fancy a giggle, waka_laka has seen it, and gives a reasonable summary of the main points of plot:

During filming

Emma Watson: *reading the script* Do I FINALLY get a potentially funny line?!
Rupert Grint: Are you sure you can handle it? Can you handle the responsibility that comes with it? You don't want to let me do it?
Emma Watson: Oh RUPERTALD. I can of COURSE do this line expertly for I am EMMA WATSON and I am HERMIONE!
Rupert Grint: *shuffles off back to his ice cream van*

Back to the film -

Hermione: Allow me to introduce you to this female homosapien, Loony Lun- I mean, Luna Lovegood!
Audience: ...
Hermione: ...
Tumbleweed: *blows past*
Audience: Yeah that wasn't funny in the slightest.
Hermione: *turns away and looks embarrassed*
Everyone else in the world: *is embarrassed for her*
Luna: *says ANYTHING and saves the scene entirely*

Go read.

Oh yeah, loads of comments to my last entry, and I'm feeling groggy and not thinking straight, but people seem quite happy discussing it between themselves so, well, I promise to re-read when the Lemsip is working better.
