CONTAINS MILD SPOILERS FOR HALF BLOOD PRINCE
Was thinking about Harry Potter stufff this morning.
Watched a few random HP vids. You know what? Most of the limited number I've seen, I don't care for. They suffer from limited source material and often poor song choices. The only one I've seen that I'd say was really GOOD was this one with Harry and Lupin to the song "Don't Stand Stand So Close To Me", and that was just a little too good because the end result was disturbing.
I'll happily take HP vid recs, if anyone's got them.
What else... right. Shipping. I found myself wondering, along the vein of shipperdom, if [MILD SHIP SPOILERS]the movie makers will try to add more scenes with Ginny in the next three movies, like invent scenes and dialogue and stuff, to give her and Harry more interaction before and during the sixth movie. Cause if the movies were made based off the books, it totally wouldn't make sense on screen. The audience would be like "the fuck? Where did that come from?" and it would be kind of embarrassing. So I predict they'll add scenes for Ginny in movie 6.
I was also thinking that I'm not really that into Harry/Luna anymore. I still prefer it as far as fic pairings go, but what limited amount there was of ship-related thoughts in my view of the HP was mainly focused around them simply because it looked to me like Luna was going to be his girlfriend or something. And I loved her character, so that was okay. But given certain twists in book 6 I've lost interest.
Not that I've gained any interest for the alternative (honestly, how could I? It was one of the weaker parts of the book), just lost interest in this. Discovered a little bit of interest in Remus/Tonks, but not anything substancial beyond mild fic-interest.
Mostly-- and isn't this kind of sad--- book 6 was cool but it basically killed my desire to do anything for HP fandom.
Now I just want to watch the movies.
It even killed my desire to read my seekrit vice pairing, Hermione/Draco. Dude, book 6 killed my secret vice pairing! Nothing is supposed to kill a secret vice pairing. It's impossible in canon so it should theoretically exist forever!
Stupid Rowling. God, I wish you were Stephen King sometimes. Or Dean Koontz. Or even David Eddings.
Actually, dude, that's like... the perfect solution. I'd LOVE to see an HP book written by David Eddings. It'd have the same cast, but the jokes would be funnier and the drama would be more dramatic and the people with the most interesting chemistry would hook up.
And maybe Eddings could randomly insert his own characters into the HPverse while writing it. Like Silk. God, the Order of the Phoenix needs to get themselves a guy like Silk. He'd have their fucking war won for them in a week without a single drop of blood. Just money and lots of blackmail.
