I shall open my post by saying again that it is AWESOME, and doubly so in Imax, which I had the pleasure of seeing it in THREE TIMES BWHAHAHA YES I AM MAD.

This will have 2 parts. About characters and Awesome Things I Just Have To Talk About.

1. Characters

Twins - Oh my Phelps. They are SO the unofficial KINGS of this movie. They are, they ARE! They are such natural comedians, they would make Robin Williams proud (Eddie Izzard even more). With that HAIR and the flair and the gleeful overdoing of the whole in sync thing! I squeed my pants OVER AND OVER when Fred invites Angelina to the ball. And so did the rest of the audience, I think. Because YES, HE WINS AT LIFE. He succeeded in acting like a total idiot and NOT get owned by Snape! Loved them. LOVED THEM.

Which inevitably leads to

Snape - OH ALAN. How could they deprive me of listening to your dulcet nasaly tones by giving you actual scenes to act, and not some excuses of bad scenes in which we (the horny fangirls) listen solely to your voice and creaming our panties? (excluding the Shrieking Shack scene in PoA) And YES, totally with the Snape/Karkaroff thing! I love it when in their first scene together they go-

Snape: I only want a roll. Can I get a roll without having my hand molested?

Karkaroff: Oh you love me and you know it. Down to my furry little shoes.

And Snape is the official PWNER of the movie. Because YES, the pwning Harry and Ron scene? He OWNS, motherfucker. He OWNS THEIR ARSES. Mwahahahahaa. Every time that moment comes I squeal "oh my god I fucking LOVE Snape" and I always get shushed. But what can I do? The Rickmanista in me dies happily everytime that scene comes.

Cedric - Why hello, slash fandom's new victim! Ask Draco, he knows all about being repeatedly slashed with everything that MOVES. By this time I've read at least 5 popular posts solely focused about how Cedric is gay, how Cho is his beard, how he has a crush on Harry, and how his blushes ought to be illegal somewhere. And they're all true. Cedric, you are our fresh manflesh! You are our new beefcake! We shall write steamy steamy smut scenes about you and Harry in the Prefects' bathtub doing kinky things with that egg, because "mull things over in the hot water"? Dude, you're ASKING FOR IT. So SO GAY. Okay, I might be saying this because you're another pretty actor with exceptionally high cheekbonesHOWEVER *eeee Snape moment!* making Harry and Ron act like the blushing fangirls next to you? OH, THE SLASH. *happy sigh*

Lucius - GODDAMMIT YOU MOTHERFUCKING SEX GOD. My heart almost LEAPED OUT OF MY CHEST when you popped like a freaking DAISY in the Quiddich World Cup scene. I was going "WHAT WHAT LUCIUS? TOO EARLY GAH! NO TIME TO PREPARE!" and I couldn't remember the next two minutes of the film, or even to concentrate on Draco! You UNDO ME. I even loved you in the Graveyard scene with the frizzy hair! And nnnnnng, the HAIR. Gah. Like ye olde days of LotR. *nice little shiver* How it's so obvious that Jason simply adores wearing that get up and terrorizing illegal pretty things with his cane just because he CAN. So yeah, I said in my HBP review that Lucius' old kinky days are done? NOT ACCORDING TO JASON ISAACS. I would sex that man up, down, sideways, in angles that would make the Kama Sutra look like a manual for making English tea, etc. etc.

Harry- *pinches cheeks* Oh Dan, you little cherubic thing. Still doing your eyebrows, I see? And modelling Gurlain's new make up? Lovely. Even the hair looked somewhat tamed. But ah, who cares about that when you finally proved you ARE Harry Potter! Really really are! Even with the lower jaw thing, you had me this movie. Not in the "I love magic!" line, not in the crying-over-Cedric scene, and not even in the First Task thingy! Nope. You had me at the Ron-taunting scene in the World Cup, you had me after the First Task and before it, with Hermione. You had me everytime Harry had to act normal. I was truly convinced then. :) Funnily enough, in my third screening, I sat next to Janeane Garofalo, and just in front of us sat a gaggle of girls who were apparently drooly Harry fans who ooooh-ed and aaaaahh-ed in all of the emotional scenes, which at one point made me go "what is this, a Greek chorus?" and she laughed. Bwahahaha, I made Janeane Garofalo laugh. I simply rule, of course, except that not really. ;)

Hermione- I must say that I even tolerated her this movie! Even during her emo Yule Ball scene! She was just such a teenaged girl, and I liked her sly little looks at Viktor. I must say that the movies are still heading rather headfront towards Harry/Hermione, which is rather bewildering, although understandable. Personally I would stomach Emma Watson snogging Dan Radcliffe far more easily than her snogging Rupert Grint. (because goddammit HE'S MY LITTLE SEX SLAVE. Ahem). So yes, she's definitely at her best this time. My favourite line of hers? "I'm not an owl!" Of course you're not, Hermione. You're a badger.

Ron- Excuse me, but since when did "gangly, lanky, dressed in too-short hand-me-downs" translated into "sexy, adorable, beautiful, dressed in vintage clothing"? Is Ron SUPPOSED to look hotter than Harry? But you know what, in a universe where Krum is uber-hot, Cedric is gay gay gay, Harry looks like a Raphael angel and Fleur looks plain, I could accept a holy-moly-SEXY-VIRGIN!Ron. I loved that fact that he actually TALKED instead of emoted endlessly "OOOH UNCONVINCING FEAR!".

Krum- Krumity Krum Krum. You're so sexy, boy, shaking that arse! Shaking that arse! The King of Buzzcut Highschool, Hot Seeker Extrodinaire, Prince Charming in the making, and also, DOES NOT LOOK 18 AT ALL. But yeah, who cares. Give me dark-prince!Krum over ugly-book!Krum everyday. Too bad he had exactly two lines in the movie.

Moody- Ooooh I liked him. Twitchy and childish and darkly funny. I especially liked it when he got carried away and only stopped when people told him to, because DUDE, that so worked for me, character-wise. That Crouch!Moody would be so carried away with torturing, he would forget himself and had to be brought back into reality loudly.

Draco- Oh my poor darling! What have they done to you? You're not half as slashy as Cedric! Not even with your hair, your Armani robes and the fact you act and look like you're out of a Maya fic! However, I definitely see some serious ground-layering towards his HBP redemption. It's almost transparent when he doesn't respond when Harry calls his father "vile and cruel". He only responds to himself being called "pathetic". And he is.

Myrtle- The emobidement of all drooling Harry fangirls AND all kinky Harry slashers in one character! How marvelous! How many fangirls who were watching the movie went "THAT'S ME THAT IS!" when she did the "long, time. No SEE" line? >;D Yep, I thought so.

Voldemort- SO, SO AWESOME. I loved his utter silent cruelty and his unexpected enegetic moves. Very snakelike. Loved the cynical delivery of his lines with the softest, most dulcet voice, as if he believed what he said. You understand me. The way his robed flowed around. Most certainly inspiring and ideal. So petty and cruel. Loved him.

2. Awesome Things I Just Have To Talk About

The weird close ups! On the Angel of Death gargoyle (spoooky one) and on the boot (AWESOME), that awesome awesome shot of the Beauxbatons girls' rear ends while Ron goes "fantastic". xD
Snape being the first to notice when the Goblet goes red for the fourth time. Ooooooh I love it when he gives that look. It's the "ooooh trouble I bet Harry Potter has something to do with it" look.
Speaking of Snape, his "you get no nookie" look when he's pointing his wand at Crouch Jr. and Crouch Jr. ficks his tongue at him.
Voldemort and Lucius having verbal sex. Oooooh. I mean dialogue. Verbal sex, yes.
Rita Skeetah's EVIL EVIL broom closet liner. BWAHAHAHA. All the audience went "OOOOOOOOOOH" when she said it. xD
The fact that the Patil twins looked NOTHING ALIKE. HAHAHAH.
Ron's Frightened Lines.
McGonagall's "well mannered frivolity". Made the audience laugh time after time.
Harry's Superman Moment. Is it a bird? Is it an airplane? Nooooo. It's Harry Potter making up spells again!
The dragon battle. I actually squealed my second time from fear. Much with the realism.
Harry's tired, tired look when Dumbledore gives an eulogy on Cedric.

So much appreciation for this movie. I mean, I dunno about you people, but for me, 2+ hours passed like nothing, which is more than I can say about PoA, which during its two hour line I started to get tired and itching to go. For me this is the sign of a truly good cinematic flow, which this movie certainly had. This is the greatest justice that can be done to the Harry Potter books. Making them as captivating onscreen as between the pages.

Tomorrow I'm going to see "Breakfast on Pluto". CILLIAN AHOY! >:D
