Michael Gambon is a better Dumbledore than Richard Harris and I will cut* anyone who disagrees.

*I won't actually cut anyone.

In other filmy news: Lane's hilariously overbearing mom from Gilmore Girls is checking into Grey's Anatomy later this month. Emily Kuroda will play a patient in the March 19 episode. OH YES. I am so tuning in for this. If I can't have Emily Gilmore meet House, this is the next best thing.

Also, on TAR, I've never been a huge fan of the U-Turn. I prefer stuff like the Fast Forward, which puts emphasis on teams being proactive themselves rather than tearing other teams down. But the drama lover in my is PSYCHED about the anonymous aspect of this season's version.

Man, I shouldn't have watched chunks of all the Harry Potter movies that aired this weekend. Them + finishing my re-read of Deathly Hallows makes me want to see a film version of the Battle of Hogwarts real bad, and I have a whole movie to go through first! Two, if the splitting-DH-in-twain word is correct.

AUGH AUGH I HATE THIS BIT IN CHAMBER OF SECRETS WHEN MOVIE-DUMBLEDORE CANCELS EXAMS AS A SCHOOL TREAT. NO. THAT IS DUMB, EVEN IN MOVIELAND.

At last, my second chance this year to use this icon, thus justifying its continued presence in my piccy lineup.

I thought getting HP7 at Otakon would be a madhouse, full of /b/tards running around shouting spoilers, but if that happened, it wasn't where I was. I suppose hanging out for most of the con at our booth in the dealer's room probably helped with that. On Friday night, we went to the release party at the B&N earlier in the evening and looked at the activities. Mostly kiddie ones, of course, so all I really did was get a homemade broomstick bookmark made out of a popsicle stick and watch the wildlife peopple talk about the GORGEOUS LIVE OWLS they had there. Totally beautiful. Then we went back to the Wyndham Sheraton, worked on my wig for soldier Rukia cosplay the next day, and came back after midnight to pick up the book.

...okay, does my landlord have a rocking chair on the hardwood floor living room above my room? Interpreting these sounds is an interesting thing.
