On today's Oprah, they had Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint on as special guests and the entire show was focused on the second movie. I only caught it by coincidence, but I was nearly hyperventilating when I realized that they were replaying it so I can catch the whole thing.
How was it?
Well. I'm not a particular huge fan of interviews since I prefer to keep the characters the characteres, but they were so adorable! *cooes*
I was very disappointed not to see Tom Felton or Alan Rickman or even Jason Isaacs, but I suppose that's to be expected. The trio are the main stars after all.
Lo and behold; I had not known Daniel Radcliffe was only thirteen years of age. Makes me feel a slightly incestuous, since I have a younger brother that age, and knowing that I've been daydreaming about the boy has decidedly odd tints. But... *cooes again* He's so cute! And Rupert Grint as himself is just... *swoons*
Emma Watson is going to be... *makes hand gestures* She's absolutely beautiful. And since I like her acting best of the trio, I'm sure she'll go on to do other things than Harry Potter. (Though, Salazar forbid!)
I still wish *one* Slytherin was in the interview. Just *one* Slytherin. Or Ravenclaw. Or Hufflepuff. Or even someone other than the three of them!
Pooh, pooh. Anyways, counting down; 16 and a half days until HP2 comes out. The clamour isn't quite as big as the first movie, but I'm sure it'll do just as well. Though of course, demographically speaking, there's a chance of falling figures in terms of money, since the fifth book is out so late.
I was at the bookstore yesterday with a friend, and I found that Spark Notes (from the oh-so-illustrious Harvard) had a Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone edition (Notice, Sorceror's Stone)
I flipped through it, found Draco Malfoy, read the entry, and then found the nearest person and started arguing why, oh why, does a Slytherin automatically get deemed evil when he's only eleven years old?
Originally, I was going to purchase it, but after reading that one entry, I felt a sense of real nausea washing up, and I put it away. I'm writing a letter to those people at Spark Notes and I'm demanding to find out who the hell writes these things.
Bah humbug. They call those things 'Analysis' scripts. Analysis my arse.
*grumblegrumble*
I did get an HP2 movie Postcard Book. Very, very pretty. Several pictures of Draco and one of Snape. (Well, one and a half. I can sense him a bit in another. I also see his hair just peeking in on another)
There's an idea that's been popping around in my head. I wonder; maybe Rowling has been thinking of the whole Slytherin/Gryffindor and evil vs. good thing that's been thrown around. Perhaps she's done a rehaul of the outlines on the next three books and the only reason why she won't say it is so it'll be a wonderful, beautiful surprise?

If I see "Footloose" again, I'm putting a chair through the TV.
