Exactly! Tom Felton simply rocks. In the world of fandom, the Malfoys are portrayed as calculating, evil, sexy and graceful blonds, and somehow very much attractive, and Tom Felton perfects the image. Ah...
I watched movie 1 in the cinema and I was totally amazed by how Emma intepretes Hermione. The expression on her face when she jumps to answer a question! Rupert is pretty good also; he looks so funny when confused. Haha. But Daniel seems lame. He is lame.
I think I'll finish book 7 before next Tuesday - OT this weekend - and looking forward to sharing ideas with you guys all before and after that. :)

Finally! Someone who doesn't think liking the Malfoys is a sin.
The word sexy doesn't do them justice. They are beyond sexy.

Emma is perfect for the role. I like her a lot. She adds life to the book, I think. Before the first movie I couldn't imagine Hermione in real life. But now it's so natural to see her when I read.

Words fail me when it comes to Daniel. He smiles like a loon for god's sake! But then again, that's how he is in the book. Does that make him a good actor I wonder?

I envy you people. I must wait for the library to get the book first. Then I'll wait in line and pray that those before me read faster than I do. (-33-)
My estimated waiting time is probably a year or so...

But why are you not buying a copy yourself?

无情

Sorry, I was away for 西游记.

Back to the topic, I'm not buying it because it's too expensive for me. All things considered, I do not think the price is attractive enough. After all, I'm not really a Harry Potter fan. I only read the sixth book to stay up-to-date with my friends. And even though the seventh book sounds extremely promising, I doubt the satisfaction from reading it this summer and then owning it is worth thirty-or-so dollars.

Put in another way, I'm too cheap.

hiddern: I envy you. I placed it on hold, and there are about 400 people in queue before me.  
I'm not going to spend nearly ten dollars to watch it in the theatres, though. It's not worth it.

I am sorry to hear that. Sometimes holding meterials in libraries could take longer than your expecting,
becasue you will find that tons of people are in the line already.
Anyhow, about the movie, I agree with you guys opinion, it is true that the movie could erase a lot of
meterial from the novel. For the missing part, I will try to find out in the novel.

无情

hiddern: Yes, it is quite regrettable that I won't be able to watch the fifth movie or read the seventh book in the near future. But what can I do? I don't have the money for this kind of luxury in the first place. Besides, it's not like I'm old and may die anytime. So if I can wait for a while and get the same thing for free then there's no point in paying for it now. Another reason I'm not watching the movie now is that my friends aren't going. So there's no incentive at all. I would never watch a movie all by myself in the cinema, unless it's work-related or free.

And to stray from the topic a tiny bit (okay, maybe more than a tiny bit)... hiddern your signature!! I remember watching 西游记 every day during summer when I was little. I used to love it!
Anyway, I was so happy when I found it on television six days ago. I've been watching it since then (one episode a day). It's absolutely shocking how much I forgot but then remembered just as it plays. And the quality of those special effects! You won't believe how poorly-done they look (and sound)! To think I watched a show that has such poor special effects from, say, four to ten! Gah! Unbelievable. But the plot and characters are flawless. It's definitely a classic.

hiddern70

wuqing: Well, that version is definitly a classic one. Also, that version can not be replaced, forever.
Those actors treated their jobs seriously, so they can made an impressive show for their audience and the fans of 西游记.

Just like the first version Three Kingdoms (三国演义) , the tecnique was not advance, also. However, those actors and dialogue are definitly unforgettable.

It's really interesting, as a novel or a history textbook.

Thanks, Du. ^^

By the way there isn't any spoiler (or anything plot-related, for that matter) inside. Just describing how JKR and her lawyers admitted there's online leak of the seventh book.

hiddern70

Too pity that I didn't read any book on Harry Porter.
Anyhow, I am trying to make up my mind, to go throw the first three books in this summer...

Wu Qing san,  I'm sure when you finish book 7, you'll love Severus more. Everyone loves Potion Master now that book 7 tells us his story.

无情

Ah... I knew it. I was trying so hard to prove to my friends that Severus is a noble person.

I knew Dumbledore would never beg to be spared. He was begging Severus to kill him.

Welcome!

It's really nice to see someone with such patience when it comes to learning a foreign language. With your determination, your English will improve gradually, one step at a time. So be patient.

I'm glad to know that you also like 西游记. I also used to love it when I was little. Now, I'm re-watching every episode. It's a classic.
