harry potter?

About Emma not being a natural blonde, a wholly agree. If you look at some of the pictures of when she was little, her hair is brown. She might have been dark blond when she was really little, but that quickly faded. I don't know why she bleaches her hair blonde - she looks lovely with brown her too! That's another thing - I always thought she was too pretty for Hermione. Don't get me wrong, I'm not being a jealous fangirl or anything, I think she is beautiful and that doesn't effect how much I like her, but before the movies came out, I always pictured Hermione pretty much like she was in PS/SS - but a smidge uglier. Big teeth, less flawless skin and things. And I love the colour pink, but she seriously overdoes it. She is always wearing pink in the movies, and I never really imagined Hermione as the "pink" sort of girl. Though maybe that's just me. I miss them wearing the Hogwarts robes. Ever since POA, the movies have been portraying the trio in muggle clothing consistantly, and barely ever showing them in uniform. It gives the Hogwarts feel to have Hogwarts robes on.

And I'll just continue about Emma for a moment. I have to complain about her acting. Some of her scenes, she overdoes it way too much. And she uses her eyebrows to win every award she has! Seriously, her eyebrows are like a charcter of their own!

And I agree, Jo was amazingly consistent considering the complexity of the storyline. So many little details can make the big difference. But she weaved it all together fantastically well, with very little misconceptions. Just another reason why I love Jo.

As for Dumbledore, I do understand you. And I hate to say that I agree. I'm determined to disagree with you one day! But you just gotta love Dumbledore. He truly is the best! Why can't I have a headmaster like that at my school? We used to have an awful headmaster, he liked to steal food from the cafeteria before lunch, explaining why he was morbidly obsese. Also, he stole LOTS of money from the school finance office and was therefore fired. So now we actually have something to eat at lunch. It's great!

And that's another reason why I love James and Lily! Because they mirror Harry and Ginny! I cannot believe I forgot to mention that! And I understand, if it was Harry Snape there'd be know story. But still, it's a weird prospect to acknowledge.
And I need to add, what you said about Harry's unruly hair - Does it annoy you too that Harry doesn't really have unruly hair in the movies? I know I'm going on about the characters hair again, but it is important to me! The only movie where they stay true to Harry having unruly hair is in POA. And maybe a little GOF. But in PS/SS, CoS, OOTP and now HBP, his hair is neat. Particularly in the first two. And Dan's eyes are blue. But I won't poke him with my pitchfork for that - he can't help that he has blue eyes, after all.

About Dudley marrying a witch - true, it's unlikely, although it would be extremely amusing if he did. I think he learned to accept Harry much more easily than Vernon and Petunia ever could, after all. I always imagined him quite relaxed with the wizarding world and those that inhabit it now.

If you're going to be rereading the series, then I will too! I've read it so often now that I can read them through extremely quickly. Though I'll take more care this time round, so I can collect all my favourite quotes too! And I'll let you know when I've gathered them all! Oooh, one's just popped into my head! In the OOTP book, unsure which chapter, but it is when Harry is over at Grimauld Place after being told he will be attending a hearing to ensure his attending Hogwarts.
I think Molly goes something like, "Ooh, Ronnie! (Ron had just became Prefect). That's everyone in the family!"
And then George comes out with, "What are Fred and I, next-door neighbours?
My gosh there's so many, a few more have come into my head, but I'll save them for when I go through the book, as I still have that terrible headache. I notice I've passed it on to you! I'm genuinely very sorry about that! I'm an idiot. : Lol.

And don't worry about your post not making sense - it made perfect sense to me. I frequently post things I can't understand myself. It always seems so jumbled.

And yes, I'm finally on a 1,000 (well, a smidge past that) posts!
