Ghost Behind My Eyes
Watched the new Potter movie last night. I wonder if anybody in the theater was unaware of the "surprise?" I think that particular spoiler was so widespread that everybody knew it. Other than that, I feel as though I should reread the book, or better yet I wish I had reread it before I watched the movie, because there are certain details I don’t remember. For instance, the movie starts with ol’ Harry sitting in a diner reading a newspaper, and Dumbledore shows up to haul him out of there just before he was to meet a girl who worked at said diner. I don’t remember that at all. Then it shows a bunch of Death Eaters wreaking some major havoc– things like destroying bridges bridges and whatnot. It seems like that might not go unnoticed. I don’t suppose they give a damn who notices them, but point is I don’t remember it happening in the book. The *ahem* climactic confrontation (just in case somebody out there doesn’t know, I’ll keep it spoiler-free) takes place in a tower of some sort in the movie, while in the book I could have sworn it was on the roof, and furthermore the, uh, surprise falls out of a window of said tower after it happens (that’s right, the surprise happens and then falls out of a window), whereas I seem to remember that it stayed pretty firmly on the roof in the book. Also, when Harry confronts the perpetrator of said surprise, I thought that was still on the roof as well, but in the film he chases that person down to Hagrid’s house, which is promptly set ablaze by a member of the perpetrator’s entourage. I don’t remember that happening either. To be honest, I wouldn’t have considered it a spoiler to mention the name of the person who set the blaze, but I can’t remember it. Helena-Bonham Carter’s character.
I wonder how much it would cost to put an ad in the paper for my marriage services, like a nice one. And have it run every week right next to the church stuff. There’s church stuff in papers right? I actually don’t look at newspapers, like, ever. Or maybe a radio ad, that might be cool. I know churches advertise on the radio, I’ve heard that. The problem is that it would cost anything. I don’t want to pay anything for it for a lot of reasons. Hm.
I don’t remember any of the stuff you don’t remember, and do remember what you remember. But, it’s been years since I read it, too, and the assumed “changes” don’t seem like that big of a deal. I’m gonna go see it either tonight or tomorrow.
