Episode 5 really shocked me. It started out exactly how I expected, and took an unusual turn... But I like it! Was anyone else reminded of how Desmond in LOST was introduced? This new, science-lab guy was introduced in the same format, and whatnot; Just all of a sudden. Not that it's bad in any way, I was just wondering.

Can I just say that I'm in love with Rachel/Puck all over again? ;D Loved them when they first got together, and they were just as great this time around. Puck backing out of sexing Rachel was a great character moment. More, please. I feel bad for Finn, but really... I just don't care about his relationship with Rachel; They have their moments, but nothing lovable IMO. Loved the episode. I had to watch, having still not seen the one before. Will be viewing episode 8 right after posting this. Sam and Quinn's duet was beautiful. Both of their voices were top notch.

Well, I slept through 90% of this episode! D: I only caught the ending, sadly. I must catch it online ASAP!

Next time I see it, I want to take a little note pad, so I can write down my favorite clips. I've never done that before, but I think it'd be... Fun? I just don't want to forget something.

Woh, where has this plot summary been?!
It sounds AMAZING. Having Illyria in the future with Angel is kickass and brilliant! I bet she'll be very humanized. I'm psyched. ;D

Episode 4 was continuing the great season! Poor Amy; I knew she was long gone with seeing the opening scene. And it was her BIRTHDAY. Ever worse.

The only thing in the movie that I thought needed explaining was the shard of glass he carried around. Book-readers know, but it isn't explained whatsoever in the films.
Also, above I said that Lupin/Tonks hadn't been mentioned at all, but I was WRONG. I just rewatched HBP, and it's made very clear that they are a couple. If you listen to Tonks, she calls Remus 'sweetheart'. And there are a few more little things as well.
In DH Tonks wants to tell Harry the 'good news', which is either that they finally married, or that she is pregnant. I'm much happier now that I've figured this out. xD

I also loved the part between Harry/Umbridge; When he slowly transforms back into himself, and says something along the lines of, "You must never tell lies." And then stuns her! And I cannot forget the beginning scene, when Hermione wipes herself from her parents' memories. I'm not sure if anyone else realized this one moment, but when Hermione has to oblivate the snatchers' memories of the Trio, it's SO emotional! You can just see the sadness in her eyes when she uses the spell, because of having used it on her parents. -cries- Emma was so spectacular, once again. Also, I wasn't sure where else to put this, but I felt the need to share. I just got this set up tonight, and am so proud. Lame, I know, but it's my little Harry Potter corner. I have the complete series 1-7, the UK, USA, and collector editions of Beedle the Bard book, Harry Potter Should Have Died Mugglenet Book, Quidditch Through the Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, Harry Potter's Wand replica, a Ravenclaw pin, a Gryffindor scarf, a Time Turner replica, and two PoA metal wall-posters! And wanting to add more to the ol' corner soon. xD (My other favorite books are next to the series.) Anyone else have their own collections?

Best line in the movie: "Dobby never meant to kill. Dobby only meant to maim… or seriously injure…"

Just got back from seeing it! ;D I think it's my favorite so far.
Dobby stole the whole movie. The audience laughed at almost everything he did/said. For the little amount of time he got, he owned it all.
Hermione was the most interesting character in this movie, IMHO. From her jinxing her parents, to her depression from Ron's leaving, she was fantastic. Emma Watson was just perfect. I loved all of her scenes with Harry too. Their interactions have always interested me, and finally seeing them on the big screen is awesome.
The scenery in this movie as breathtaking! Bellatrix was kickass! So many good things in this.
There WERE only a few things I wasn't pleased about: 1. Lupin/Tonks STILL has not been acknowledged. Yes, they heavily hinted at their marriage, but it wasn't mentioned. And no word on their baby, Teddy. 2. Harry's invisibility cloak wasn't mentioned? Why not?! I mean, it was said to be a Deathly Hallow, ouldn't one of the Trio remember, "Oh, Harry has that, right?" 3. Shell cottage seemed so random at the ending; It was seen in the background, but never even mentioned. 4. Fluer's reappearance also seemed random, unless having the book's knowledge.
The movie was almost perfect. More than I could ask for. Cannot wait for Part 2!

What the frak!? I want to see this!! It was steeeeeeamy!
RE: Harrmione There was a couple of moments in the movie where I thought they had tried to make it LOOK like there was something more than just friendship between Harry and Hermy, I mean when Ron wasn't even around so it didn't serve the jealously purpose... that kind of annoyed me a bit because Harry/Hermione are almost purely plutonic in the books, like not even slightly suggestive that they would want each other like that, so I thought maybe the movie was trying a bit to hard to please all shippers or something... I just think Harry and Hermione are really close. They've been through a lot together, and have always been more emotionally connected than Harry and Ron, IMO. Their scene in HBP with her crying supports this. Also, for viewers that haven't read the book, I'm sure they are trying to keep them guessing about who she'll end up with; Not give it away too easily. In the end, I settle on: Harry and Hermione are just really close. Maybe it never got to the point of romance, but it was definitely deep.
PS, I also love the moment in POA, when Harry wraps his arms around Hermione, protecting her from the werewolf. :3 As you can see, I'm not all against Harry/Hermione. lol. I love their interactions. Posted this on my Facebook: Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that the first half of the finale Harry Potter movie has been released today! In honor of that, I've done some listing. I will not hold back; My total nerdiness will be present in this post. You have been warned. Favorite Characters: - Severus Snape (With the chapter 'The Prince's Tale' Snape became my all time favorite. His life is so tragic, and he's so interesting.) - Nymphadora Tonks (She's cool! What else can I say? Tonks is so much fun, and her metamorphagus abilities are amazing.) - Dobby the House Elf (Gotta love him. Dobby was such a joy throughout the series. His role in Deathly Hallows is of much importance, and very heartbreaking.) - Albus Dumbledore (How can you not like this old guy?! His past is so dark, and I love it. The great Headmaster isn't perfect. And I must say, Jo's risky idea of Albus being homosexual adds a lot more depth to the character.) - Hermione Granger (She'll always be my favorite Trio groupie! Hermione was always by Harry's side, which is not something we can say about anyone else. She was clever, quick-thinking, and a know-it-all.) - Luna Lovegood (Her absurd view on things is so refreshing. And her portrayal in the films adds to her quirkiness. Love me some Lovegood!) - Draco Malfoy (The protagonist's rival. His character received interesting growth in the final two novels, and he's easy to relate to then.) - Sybill Trelawney (My favorite Professor out of them all. Ever. She's hilarious. Always predicting false things. And her portrayal in the films is fantastic!) - Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody (Mad-Eye is so interesting! His character was one of my favorite Aurors... And I love his eye. Weird, right?) - Dolores Umbridge (I love to hate her. She's my favorite villain, not including Snape, of course. She's a mixture of care bears and Freddy Krueger. Epic.) Most favorite to least favorite (Novels): - Half-Blood Prince - Deathly Hallows - Prisoner of Azkaban - Goblet of Fire - Order of the Phoenix - Chamber of Secrets - Philosopher's Stone Most favorite to least favorite (Films): - Prisoner of Azkaban - Half-Blood Prince - Goblet of Fire - Chamber of Secrets - Order of the Phoenix - Philosopher's Stone Favorite Shippings: - Snape/Lily - Remus/Tonks - Charlie/Fleur - Draco/Hermione - Harry/Hermione - Ron/Hermione (Hermione's is quite the paired one. Bwahaha.) WELL. I'm finished here. One last thing, though: If you have nothing to read, and you love Harry Potter, check out the Hunger Games Trilogy. I like it just as much as HP, maybe even more. Amazing books ETA[/color] Not sure if this has been posted, but Noble Collection updated their Harry Potter page with all of the new Deathly Hallows prop replicas. (All look great!) www.noblecollection.com/index.cfm?fa=products.catagory&catid=21Christmas is just around the corner, and I have my eyes set on their 'Professor Slughorn's Wand' and the 'Marauders Map'/'Display Case' collectibles. I never realized how personalized old Horace's wand was! And from what I hear, and have seen of the Map, it's supposed to fantastic. Again, not sure if it's been posted, but: This book for the films looks stunning as well. And the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. ;D www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Wizardry-Brian-Sibley/dp/0061997811/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1290242819&sr=1-8

Have fun everyone! I'm seeing it Saturday night. And that poster of Harry/Hermione is soooo cool. Speaking of... I heard there's a scene of Harry and Hermione making out, topless. Ron's vision of his worst fear. Am I the only one who REALLY wants to see this?!

I'm glad Eddie got closure, but it's a shame that all of his potential got canned. I mean, I thought he was super interesting and cool. He would have eventually been on board Team Angel!? I woulda been glad. Meh. I hope the Dark Horse move is worth this. xD Looking to be a good, finale arc.

Omg. Sarah's baby is so precious. :3 Those pictures are great! And Sarah is looking very good. Thanks for posting those. And a remake of the classic... With the original script? Hmm. You know, my instinct is to be against this, but I MIGHT give it a chance. If they use the original script, and just change up the scenery for the better I might get something out of this. So, I'll like it if it's bad, and I'll hate it if it's stupid. On the other hand, has anyone read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Eric Shanower & Skottie Young? It's a comic miniseries, and the art is superb. The book won some type of award. The same duo also did a sequel to the project, The Marvelous Land of Oz, which looks great. And I believe they are working on yet another Oz series: Ozma of Oz. Here are the links to the Amazon pages: www.amazon.com/Wonderful-Wizard-Oz-Marvel-Classics/dp/0785129219www.amazon.com/Marvelous-Land-Oz-Marvel-Classics/dp/078514028X/ref=pd_sim_b_1

^^ Yes, Korra/ZukoPerson is already my favorite ship from this series. I kinda hope Dante changes his voice pitch for the role. I mean, what are the odds that his descendant has his exact voice? Not that I mind his voice, it's great, but I just want it to seem... Realistic.

I don't know... It's a solid theory, and I'd love for it to be so, but I just don't think the writer(s) would expect the average watcher to pick all that up in one line. Especially since it was moving along so fast. Oh well. For now, I shall try to buy this idea. I do hope for more focus and in characterization on Sam next week; I think there will be from what I hear.
