Yes, I know I did this exact same thing for Prisoner Of Azkaban. Well, tough!
-When Peter drops his glasses and clenchs his fist and goes into Heroic Mode, there’s a sign next to him that says ONE WAY on it. I imagine that was on purpose. :)
-Chocolate cake girl is called Ursula. Got that from the novelisation. *nods*
-Peter at the party…all in one night his boss yells at him (nothing new, I know), his best friend slaps him, and the girl he loves gets engaged to someone else. And he can’t get food or a drink. Poor guy.
-That hospital (you know the one I mean) is one seriously ugly hospital.
-John’s face after MJ leaves him…doesn’t he become a bad guy in the comics? (How many movies are they gonna make, anyway? They may not be planning to use like every villain, but they’ve set a lot of them up)
-I’m not really sure what I think about Mary Jane…I don’t dislike her or anything, but the look on her face at the very end…I just hope she doesn’t want to divorce Peter in the next movie, or something, because he’s in love with her and has a important job to do, and she’s given him the oppotunity to have both things, it would be incredibly unfair if she took it away again. Personally, I hope in the next movie she helps Peter take down the bad guy…she nearly did this time, after all.
-Harry was wearing a green bow tie at the wedding. That’s rather interesting.
-I like that they developed May’s character more, although I’m worried she’s going to die in the next movie
-Otto/Rosie is still my OTP. I wish they’d mentioned her at the end, though, like with Peter pointing out that the fusion-reactor thingy had killed her, so if he really loved her he shouldn’t have tried to build it again…or something. Meh.
Marietta, Marietta, Marietta. What do we know about her, anyway? She’s Cho’s friend. She reluctantly joined the DA. She betrayed them to Umbridge, and wound up with a memory charm and a SNEAK written across her face. She doesn’t, as far as I can remember, speak a single line in the book, but she seems to have left an impact nonetheless.
So who is she and what’s she for? Is she just to show the good side’s philosophy of ‘the ends justify the means’…it was alright to memory charm her because something bad could’ve happened? Is she just to show Hermione’s arrogance…branding someone was alright because she betrayed them? Is she going to redeem herself later? Who knows?
Thus far, I have written one Marietta fanfic and am now working on a second. And she has become a favourite character of mine, for reasons I can’t fathom. She’s betrayed the DA, after all. She doesn’t seem to have many redeeming qualities.
And yet…
I don’t know. I think in the end, a lot of people would do what she did if they were put in her position…as in, let parents down or let friends down and choose parents over friends, if they were putting pressure on you. I know it’s not much of an excuse, since as Harry pointed out, Ron’s dad also worked for the Ministry and he didn’t betray them…but Marietta was only sixteen (I think), hadn’t been through as much or seen as much or well, loved as much as Ron had. She wasn’t a heroine, just a normal, probably quite popular, slightly bratty, ordinary teenage girl…and she took the easy way out. As many people would.
Hopefully, though, she won’t next time. Who knows?
There’s also the SNEAK thing to think about…whether she still has it or not, whether Hermione was justified…but I’ll leave that to you to discuss. ;)

Okay, only fifteen for now, but maybe I’ll think of some more later…(BTW, comment and add your own if you want.) :)
Look at this picture. Look at the expressions on their faces. Look at how close they are to each other. Look at how desperate Obi-Wan looks. Look at how uncertain Anakin looks. Bear in mind that in several years time one of them will kill the other in cold blood.
And then tell me Episode III isn’t going to rock. :D
Y’know, if ff.net is going to stop accepting interactive stories, then they’d better close down altogether, because dude all stories are MEANT to be interactive.

4) Review much: *very small voice* …hardly ever…
5) Read too many fics: Yes indeedy.
6) Favorite house: Hufflepuff
7) Favorite Gryffindor student: Sirius, but as he’s not in school anymore I’ll go for Harry. Ron is close behind.

19) Other ships you sail: All the canon ones (Bellatrix/Rodolphus, Lily/James and Andromeda/Ted are my favourites out of those) and for a really weird one, Draco/Marietta. *glances at unfinished fic*

21) Underimpressive ships to me: Harry/Draco. I dunno why.
22) Hated ships: Ooh…Sirius/Harry I never liked.
23) Het, slash or femmeslash: Haven’t written any slash in the HPverse yet, as far as I can remember. (save one drabble) So yeah, het I suppose.
24) H/Hr or R/Hr: Ron and Hermione. :D
25) D/Hr or D/G: I like ’em both (when they’re done well) but since JKR’s ruled out D/H, I’ll go with D/G.

27) Older gen, younger gen or cross-gen: Older gen

40) Many ships in one fic: I don’t mind.
Books:
59) Cried for Cedric: I don’t cry. Ever. Seriously. Have never cried at a book before. I wasn’t exactly delighted, though. :(

75) Tom Riddle’s eye colour: …red. Oh, all right. Hazel.
76) Luna fan: Yes, yes and yes.
77) OC’s, done or not done: I’ve done a few. And you have to have an OC in some places, because there’s a lot of the Wizarding World we haven’t seen, and canon characters won’t fit everywhere…

81) Potter love: Indeedy.
82) Is Lucius really 49: Doesn’t it have his age somewhere in OOTP?

84) Plain stupid ship name: Can’t think of any right now.
85) Voldemort. Bald. Yes or no: …yes?
86) The power He-Knows-Not and the power that saved Harry is: Love!

88) Should Ron say ‘Bloody Brilliant’ more then once? Eh. Okay.

91) Rec the 2nd best, too: …go away. :p
92) Did HP change your life dramatically: Not *that* much, but I like having it *in* my life, if that makes sense.
93) Marauders. Like or dislike: Like. Like lots.

98) Did Ron: Yup.
99) Is Harry going to die or will he survive: Good question. I haven’t decided yet.
100) What gives you the most warm fuzzies in your stomach in the whole HP-verse: Harry’s first going to Hogwarts in PS. So young and innocent…I haven’t been able to reread PS after OOTP. I just can’t. :(
