<p>Yes, shocking...shockingly ugly :) I don't see how anyone can think they're attractive...in the books they're supposed to be cute, but I guess it's hard to come across attractive-english-redheaded-twin-actors. And Hermione is supposed to be not-so-hot in the book, and they turn her into a cutie in the movies! ARGH. See it's characters like that that us girls have to compete with...like last year I was talking to my bf online about HP and he was basically fantasizing about her in front of me! argh.</p>
<p>"Why are all guys obsessed and totally hot for Emma Watson? She looks like she's 12! Jeez."</p>
<p>I resent that. She's clearly at least 14. :p</p>
<p>EDIT: And for heaven's sake, Moore is NOT directing a HP movie!</p>
<p>I agree Hermione was supposed to be nerdy and unattractive (incongruent with what we saw), but what do you mean by the twins were supposed to be cute? Where did you get that impression?</p>
<p>well aren't you clever mognoose... :)</p>
<p>Well I thought they came across that way...weren't they portrayed as like...ladies' men? Players? Like in a devilish troublemaking sort of sense. I dunno, that's just what I got from it.</p>
<p>Oh okay, got it zking...yeah ron wasn't supposed to be cute in the books, but I thought Rupert Grint had potential. I was wrong.</p>
<p>Disregard my comment about the Weasley twins, I was referring to Ron. Sorry!</p>
<p>Mmkay, I love Ron, so if the rest of you don't want him, I'll happily take him. :P</p>
<p>I call Emma Watson then!</p>
<p>I also love how this conversation has so much to do with MIT.</p>
<p>Oh, I'm sorry. I</a> guess the Michael Moore story was fake and removed from its source sometime afterwards. Well, that makes me feel a little better about movie 6. Rule #1 of Dating: do not fantasize about Emma Watson? :P </p>
<p>Turning this conversation to MIT, let's ... uh...integrate...um...Hogwart's Castle! Yeah!</p>
<p>way to make us panic zoogs :)
yes that's a good rule...at least in front of your gf. No girl likes hearing how Mischa Barton is the most perfect, gorgeous thing to walk the earth :P
<em>groans</em> can't believe you just said the hogwarts thing...clearly we should calculate the volume of the sorting hat by doing a solids of revolution integration :P</p>
<p>I believed it too until just now! Ah, mass media. They are made of lies. For instance, my bio teacher just revealed to us that antibacterial soap is bad for you, especially if you use it all the time. Uh. Yeah. >_> </p>
<p>Or we could take movie clips and make acceleration/time functions for wingardium leviosa for objects of different weights.</p>
<p>WOAH WEIRD my bio teacher also refuses to use antibacterial soap because she says it's bad for you..."you're killing all the good bacteria too!!"</p>
<p>Well, it's because only the bacteria that are resistant to the antibiotics remain, and through wild bacteria sex they spread their super resistant powers to all bacteria.</p>
<p>I should stop using that soap. SO THIS IS WHY I GET SICK.</p>
<p>Sick? bacteria? Bacteria are cool.
I still use antibacterial soap though.
It cracks my delicate skin, yay!</p>
<p>Review of Harry Potter? just go to: <a href="http://blogs.mit.edu/eialba%5B/url%5D">http://blogs.mit.edu/eialba</a></p>
<p>I'm soooooooo looking forward to seeing the movie (the opening is on Friday in my country). I hated the first two and surprisingly, quite liked the third one. No idea what to expect here, thougu :).
Refering to the fact that MIT applicants tend to be Potter fans, how stupid would it acutally be to write HP is your fave book in Princeton app question? I mean, there are many other books I love and highly appriciate, but I used to be quite obsessed with HP years ago and it still has a special place on my bookshelf.</p>
<p>arrghh... i hated the 4th movie, especially how they rushed through everything, the characters weren't adequately developed. but what really got me was the lame jokes they had to stick in every 10 minutes... they annoyed me, but most of the audience laughed... it just made me sick. plus the special effects paled in comparison to previous movies (i'm a 3d animation junky so i can tell.... its both a blessing and a curse)</p>
<p>OK I haven't read a potter book since middle school and I haven't seen any of the movies start to finish. Here's my fair and balanced take on it:</p>
<p>What a joke! If that movie was released in theatres alone, it would be laughed right out. That was the fastest moving plot I have ever witnessed... heavens almighty! I was driving around for ten minutes afterwards getting the "full" explanation from a veteran fan, and that only covered the first two chapters. I really liked how everything was fantastical, although some stuff was pretty much straight out of Lord of the Rings. I'm suprised the Weasley boys weren't named Merry and Pippin. I was explaining the basic plot of this movie to my parents afterwards and I realized it sounds like a huge joke. SPOILER, AS IF ANYONE HERE HASN'T SEEN IT"So the second tournament was this underwater contest where each person had to rescue someone and then harry eats these herbs and starts turning into a fish and then he discovers Atlantis and then theres these bodies, but for some reason this other girl dropped out so he had to rescue two people so he's about to but these mermaids that were swimming around turninto these squid things and start biting him. The third test is this enourmous hedge maze except there's mist and the hedges eat people. And harry is about to touch the goblet or whatever, but this other kid he rescued is like "at the same time one two three!" and they both teleport to a graveyard and then this old man walks out carrying a pale naked wrinkled baby, only he's Voldemort. Then he makes this brew and drops the baby in and cuts harry and chops off his own hand then there's this explosion and then he soliloquizes and kills his KKK henchmen and then there's this fight and then Harry's parents appear in blue ghost like form and say "Luke, trust your instincts". Oops, wrong movie where someone appears in blue ghostlike form to offer helpful advice. Mannnnnnnnn!</p>
<p>Oh, and Warwick Davis, the midget conducter, played an ewok in star wars!</p>
<p>I've seeonly the trailer, but still... How did they DARE make Hermione's dressing robes pink?!? They are blue, for heaven's sake!
I hope there aren't many mistakes of the sort. I mean, what's the problem, why can't they respect such silly small things from the book? What I don't understand, is how JKR let Harry have blue eyes in movies?!?</p>
<p>I've seen it!!!!!!!!!
It's absolutely great, just because it didn't follow the book exactly! I mean... McGonagal's dancing class... hilarious!
Of course, Voldemort was too awful for words, but I knew they were going to ruin him. And Harry not getting the chance to endure Imperius... unforgivable!
Others were just fine, I loved Ron/Hermione scene, though not so much Cho... but whatever.
I really enjoyed it and was quite surprised I did, I kind of thought I would hate it just as first two.</p>
<p>i didnt watch the movie but i think they messed up on casting cho chang.
according to the book, she was supposed to be pretty
but wats with katie leung????
shes fugly
are the movie steps just racists or they have no standards for asians?</p>
