My pianist DID play Hedwig's Theme during our unity candle lighting. And it was the single most awesome moment of my wedding (besides the whole getting married part).
I missed last night's thread, so I want to talk about the trailer. Anyone?
Oh, and the trailer looks AWESOME.
The Deathly Hallows ended in much silliness, imo. Don't get me wrong: there was a lot of awesome, but then some real eye-rolling silliness.
I teeared up at the trailer. Granted, I had sort of a crappy day yesterday, but I think I would have anyway.

Are you referring to the Epilogue, or the Other Thing?
I thought the epilogue was a little weird, but there's really no good way to wrap up something like that. At least they're staying true in the movie about that part.
The books are like my children; I can't pick a favorite. They're all special in different ways.

The epilogue I felt was for the younger readers. It was lame, but it did remind me that it is supposed to be a young adult book.
Roxy- The first two are good books, but the third is full of awesome! After the third you will definitely be hooked. watching the movies is hard without having read the books. They leave a lot out.
[QUOTE]I think I should read the HP book, I never have and it just dawned on me that I should.

[QUOTE]I have to explain a lot to my H, who has only seen the movies (several times each, of course) because of the more extensive background from the books.
Posted by georgia_bride09[/QUOTE]
They leave so much out of the movies, I wonder how anyone understands the movies fully. I saw the second movie before I read the book and I was completely lost. Chris Columbus and his editor made very poor choices as to what scenes to cut.
Thought I think the whole HP juggernaut became too big for its own britches at one point... the last two books had some definitely moments that read like fan fic. Things I don't think would have been written without the indluence of the fans and the media.
My favorite book (and movie) is Prisoner of Azkaban. My least favorite is Chamber of Secrets. I usually skip it when I reread the series.

When I go to the library I'll grab the books
[QUOTE]Deathly Hallows is amazing. It answers so much. You have to have a lot of time, though, because I could not put it down. There is no good stopping point.

I actually fell asleep on top of my book with the light on the day after I got it (at midnight, natch). My roommate saw me and told my other roommate, "Meredith's sleeping on her book."
I saw the first movie before I read the book. I have a friend who decided to see all the movies first, but I had to explain backstory to her, too.

Same, except I fell asleep <em>under</em> the book.
[QUOTE]Don't forget the Sookie Stackhouse books while you're there, Roxy! :)

I read the first one and wasn't too impressed, but I heard they get better, so I haven't given up on that series completely. I'll pick it up again at some point soon.. in the meantime, I'm loving the show, lol.
[QUOTE]Celles! I read the first one (did you see that?) the second one is out right now though :(. I'm getting there!
Posted by nda_roxybabe[/QUOTE]
Yep! I remembered you said you were working on them in the weekly TB post on SB. It's my newest obsession and I love to share it. ;) (Makes me feel less crazy...)
Simply Fated - they do get better! The writing doesn't exactly wow me, but I find myself caring about the characters so I've sucked in (no pun intended!).
Ok, thought so. I could go to one of the other libraries but I'm too hot by the time I get there so I'll just wait till friday when I get off early.

If I can handle four Twilight books PLUS Midnight Sun, I can handle anything! <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" title="Cool" />
