(Finally) watching DH2. Hermione = amazing. (But kids, you should maybe check those contract terms before actually acting on them. This is why you should have grabbed a Slytherin.)
Watching canon after seeing all this fanart is making me kind of depressed, though. Rolanda and Harriet and Hermes: WHATCOULD SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
From what Aberforth says about the set of mirrors, I think those aren't nearly as common as most of fandom assumes. I don't know if they're just out of fashion or if they're really difficult to make or something, but if they were easy to get Aberforth would just have bought a new set. Maybe some kind of Black family heirloom?
So there are only seven secret passages that go in and out! I mean, there must be a lot more inside because it's a magic castle, but it's nice to have a definite entrance/exit number.
Room of Requirement scene: Dean! Parvati! Padma! Cho! and Seamus and Luna and everyone, aaaaaa. And also I noticed that quite a lot of the students in the panned-over Great Hall scene were characters of colour, that was nice.
OMG Kingsley + Order grand entrance. BUT MOSTLY KINGSLEY. And McGonnagol, eee! Pfft she threw him through a window. Badass.
--Oh hey, was that Blaise? Fabulous.
( Similar ramblings follow. )
Anyone got any fic they want to recommend? I've just re-read all of Blood Magic, so I'm very much in the mood for it.
