Oh Ron....//Day 3

First off, super Congratulations to Cheyanne (and Adam) who got MARRIED today!! I wish I could've been there, but I know it was an amazing wedding nevertheless.

I saw Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, Pt 1 today. And Oh. My. Ronald. Weasley. Greatgreatgreatgreat! I think they did a very good job with the adaptation- things were cut out, of course, but I think they didn't cut out anything that would be needed in the final movie. It flowed quite nicely and I would've sat there for another 2-3 hours and watched the entire thing! But, they cut it at a great scene, where it's pretty high action, but still very important, and where everyone (that hasn't read the books, that is) is left wondering WHAT the trio will do next.

I cried. Not as much as I thought I would, but I think that is because my brain was just so overwhelmed, my body wasn't catching up as quickly. I could barely eat my popcorn, I was so nervous and jittery! I think they had a nice mix of romance, anger, fear and humor mixed in, so you wouldn't go over the edge emotion-wise.

As for my favorite characters, the twins were spot on, of course. And I really liked watching them have a more dramatic, emotional scene with George's ear...a nice pre-cursor for ::sob:: in the final. And Ron.

Oh Ron.

Rupert Grint never disappoints me. He wore a suit to all the premieres and made me all a-quiver, and that SPEECH when he returns?? My little heart was fluttering all around my chest. I need to marry him.

Like yesterday.

I wish Pt 2 was coming out tomorrow, instead of 8 months from now. I do hope to see it one more time, maybe sometime during the week when the kiddies are at school, and I can go alone with my thoughts and pick up on all the little things I missed the first go. Either way, I think they did a great job (and it looked, cinematography-wise, beautiful), so I am very, very, VERY excited/sad for Pt 2.



DAY 3
I don't think there are any characters I HATE that others love. Some of them grate on my nerves sometimes, and they would definitely not be characterized as my favorites, though. Sometimes Effie got to be quite annoying, and I had to just ignore or skim through her parts, but I think you need a bubbly, happy-go-lucky character to balance out all the angst and moodiness the tag-team of Haymitch and Katniss can put out. Annie was another that got to me at times, though I have read some fan-fiction with her in it and it makes me like her a bit more. But, again, I don't really HATE any of the more likeable characters.
