    I refuse to compromise my artistic integrity for cheap thrills.



    well maybe if you report it for awesome

    I guess a ripped H A G R I D in full leather revving Sirius' bike would be pretty gritty

    It would be cool to get some real development on Moody. I mean
    the fact is, we saw almost nothing with him. It was all Barty Crouch Jr. And I just can't believe that all of his GoF awesomeness was actually just Crouch being an unbelievably, ridiculously good actor impersonating some other awesome guy. Don't get me wrong: I don't think Moody is not awesome, I just...you know, don't really have a clue because I've seen very little of his character.

    Are people done being awful in this thread yet? Can we discuss the trailer and the things I didn't like?

    What the fuck is Harry doing holding his wand facing Voldemort?

    "You'll have to die to stop him! Oh wait, no you won't never mind!"

    Maybe you could make the argument that
    he shouldn't have been a horcrux, sure

    But if anyone actually expected the main character in a children's series to be killed off, you're crazy.

    Especially a character like Harry who really didn't get a break at all until he turned 11 and even then he's had a ton of shit to do, that character needs some damn peace.

    sure, but it seemed like sacrifice was a theme of the books, and to end it in such a way that he really doesn't suffer any loss at all seems a little... I dunno, weird

    Or he could have not "had to die" in the first place if she was just going to fudge the ending anyway

    He suffered a loss by acting like a silly goose while trying to "save" his God Father. A number of times really. My favorite being "what's all this floo powder in Umbridge's office for? Let's ride neat invisible creatures to the Ministry instead!"
