The lure of the magical....

A few years ago, I was laughing at my friends who were so crazed about Harry Potter. I even called a few people childish (I think), for lugging the bloody thick book ard, on top of the super heavy schoolbags that we have on.

How ironic.

After last night,I officially declare myself a fair Harry Potter fan now!

Well, actually I've already been since the sorceror's stone. Wat I meant was, I did not do a matrix thing from my office to Cineleisure in 10 min in vain!!!!

The lure of Harry Potter lies in the exploration of possibilities, in a way, allowing us the indulgence of returning to kiddy times, where we knew nothing about reality, about the boundaries between fantasy and truth. What we think is possible, is possible. And for that period of time that we are in the theatre, we are allowed that, we are given the gift of seeing what the world could be like if there were no such things as limitations.

Dissidents argue that Goblet of Fire did not do justice to the original book though. Well, I guess all I hafta say is, go into it with an open mind then. Of cos there's a difference between reading a book and watching a film. I'm no film studies student, but please loh!

Common sense.

When u read a book, it is ur mind acting as director, producer and actor. Ur mind conjures up images that caters to ur whims and fancies. Boundless varieties of interpretations. When a film is produced thoh, u watch the interpretations of the director and producers, and the other pains in the asses's interpretations, which may not be to ur liking.

: )

Speaking of pains in the asses, seriously, must Cedric die?

: (

*shakes head
He was such a nice boy. Or like how a fren of mine wld say, hamsum boy. I thought he wld like go over to the dark side and explode Harry or sth at the part when they were both running for the goblet.

I mean, all hamsum guys in shows are baddies wat!

But he didn't : )

I also like the way alot of things are not said, alot of things done very overtly subtle. Little little things that trigger thoughts in minds, little little parts left hanging with alot of tension,

like when Hermione-oh- my- god- I- can't- believe- we- are- both humans-How- unfair blew up at Ron.
Tsk Tsk~Wat an idiot.

The way Cho said "sorry" to Harry

The way Harry deliberated between saving Cedric and running to the goblet.

I was devastated when Cedric died. I really really thot that Dum-o-door cld revive Cedric.
How disappointing!!!
But I guess, it's meant to be this way. The choices we make out of goodwill may not be the right choices afterall. But we learn, sometimes, the lessons are painful, but it has to be, in order to be remembered.

Well, Good luck Valdermot (or howeva it is s'posed to be spelt!)!!!!

May the force be with you!

Oops~wrong show :p
