Harry Potter

So, I saw the movie and it rocked. All the bits I was worried about sucking didn't. Which was nice. I'd post a proper review except its three in the morning, so I'll just leave you with three short thoughts.

1) My inner feminist says, 'was Fleur that useless in the book? Why did the only girl in the tournament finish last in every competition? Yah boo sucks'

2) My inner fangirl (well, mebbe not so inner) says EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SLASH SQUEEEEEE!

3) My footballslash brain says, hmmmm. If you had to feild an England Quidditch Team with the players taken from the England football squad, who'd play what positions? Should strikers play seekers or chasers? (Unless they're Wayne Rooney, when they should clearly play beaters). Also, I wonder if Denis Bergkamp would be scared of flying on a broom...

Answers on a postcard.

sebastienne was referring to the fact that especially after HBP just about every woman is defined by her relationship with a man. Not that there aren't strong women, but that they always have to belong to some bloke. Tonks was the worst example of this - I actually quite like the Remus/Tonks ship, but I think an independant Tonks who never moped over a bloke would have been a stronger character.

The possible exception to this is McGonagal, but even she is defined mostly by her relationship with Dumbledor.

Gr, I typed a long comment but LJ ate it. I'll reply when I'm less pissed off.
