Will No-One Rid Me of This Turbulent Cat?
Quote of the moment:
Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. How did it come to this?
- Theoden, King of Rohan, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
Or perhaps MrFloppy Roberts, upon news breaking of the latest mishap at Felsted (via Quill media inc.). A crackdown on housemasters holding parties will no doubt be the consequence, but Mr Gwyther can be smug in his retirement from housemastership. They did happen in Elwyns, although strangely enough not for winning House Shout...
Went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire tonight with Steve. It was quite impressive, really...
*** SPOILER ALERT ***
Apart from the music video-style Beauxbatons entry (and to a lesser degree the march of the Durmstrang contingent: Brrrr!) it was pretty slick. The Durmstrang galleon was classy, emerging and departing like a soviet submarine, especially coming in with the crows nest out of the water like a conning tower. The story was pretty much pared down to the tournament, with occasional snatches of library or classroom.
Snape had a classic comedy scene, whacking heads while supervising prep. David Tennant was sadly underused as Crouch Jr, but Brendan Gleeson was awesome as Moody. Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) was suprisingly well done (the make-up/costuming, not the acting, that's expected of Amon Goethe) and reminiscient of The Mummy.
Did/will anyone else notice the slight slip in Harry's accent near the end, when he lets a bit of scots in? I've annoyingly forgotten what he was saying at the time...
Other than that, Hermione is increasingly similar to my younger little sister Sarah, right down to sticking her chin out when annoyed. Not sure of her stance on wearing fur though.

Lol... it was just one word that had a scots kind of sound to it. Really. When it comes out on DVD I'll show you.
Well, I would, if I remembered. Then again I might spot it again and phone you up and make you come over and watch it. This would be because it will undoubtedly be released either in the summer holidays or next Christmas. Summer hols, I would have thought. Next Xmas for the extended edition perhaps?! There were certainly some LOTR style "Look at the majestic mountains" panning shots in there.
Haha... they could include some of the lessons perhaps, or even one of those amaaaaaazingly enthralling quidditch games, since we haven't seen one before...
