#1 is what the Old Woman says to Martha in Journey’s End, it translates as ‘Martha, you’re going to hell’
OMG people Deathly Hallows looks more and more amazing the more I read about it.
Look! It’s Rupert Grint! And I think I know what scene that is, and I didn’t think he could act it effectively but now I do…
That was brilliant. Really really brilliant. I’m probably the last person on Livejournal to see it, aren’t I?
I loved that they kept in the Remus/Tonks relationship (can there be more of that in the next film please?), I loved Bellatrix and the action scenes and all of it, really. Especially the various tangled relationships, which could have gotten tiresome and didn’t.
It’s funny thinking how the main cast has grown. They all used to be so tiny!
Okay, this is a challenge antistar_e is doing, and it’s a wonderful idea and I want to do it too. :p
The challenge is to write 30 ficlets for 30 women. (I believe orginally it said fabulous women…but some of these people are downright nasty characters.)

So, looking at this icon, I got to wondering (not for the first time) what houses the Doctor Who characters would end up in should they end up, somehow, at Hogwarts.
Mickey, as the icon states, is a Hufflepuff (loyal and underrated…), Rose is a Gryffindor to the core, Martha probably a Ravenclaw (and I reckon her sister would be a Slytherin), Donna…I dunno. Ten is houseless because he’s that cool.
What do you all reckon?
Comment and credit if you please, don’t hotlink, more stuff at Starlit Blue. :)

Would anyone like to help me find a HP fanfic? It was written and set after Deathly Hallows, and featured all the characters who’d died in that book meeting at King’s Cross station, and the station guard was a character like Death from the Discworld books. There were three in the series, I think, and they were brilliant and I didn’t bookmark them. Bah.
Also, went to see OOTP again today. It’s even better second time around- I think I shall make some icons.
God, it feels like the end of an era…
When me and my friends were queueing, we listed most of the characters and gave them marks out of 10 for how likely we thought they would be to die. My rankings were as follows:
Snape: 9
Lupin: 4
Harry: 8
Ron: 3
Hermione: 3
Hagrid: 9
Ginny: 3
Fred: 2
George: 2
Lucius: 9
Bellatrix: 9
Neville: 9
Luna: 2
Peter: 10
How wrong was I? Tonks wasn’t even on the list! Awwwwwww, I get depressed just thinking about it now. :( I think Fred was the worst. I would never have predicted that, much too horrible. I know that’s what it’s like in war, that it is horrible, but still. Wah. :(
Anyway. I strongly suspect that Draco was the character given a ‘reprieve’, and I was actually quite glad to see him alive at the end. I’d never have said that towards the beginning of the series, but still. And I’m really quite pleased that Narcissa got one ‘good’ moment. And that some progress was made on the Slytherins Are Not All Evil front.
Did not like what Hermione did to her parents. Not at all.
Liked the epilogue alright, although I think I may be the only one…
Oh, and ‘NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!’ is the best line in the whole series.
We were at Waterstones in Milton Keynes. It was awesome. And we weren’t too far down the queue either- I was number 298. And there was coffee and people selling t-shirts and cookies and it was jolly good, indeed.
Which reminds me- moving away from HP for a sec- before heading to Waterstones, me and a friend went to see Hairspray, and it’s REALLY good. See it if you can!
Anyway- I had my camera, here’s some pictures:
People milling around
Me sticking my tongue out
The queue. Bear in mind that that tree is on the other side of the building from Waterstone’s…
The queue just after midnight
The books, at last. :D
And now…I’m gonna sit back and watch the explosions.
…why is OOTP released in the US one day before being released in the UK, anyway?
Bah. Humbug.
