After dining at the Tibetan Lounge on Queen St., having had the same dish (Tibetan Chili Chicken) just like I did before I watched the last Harry Potter movie with my sweet friends, I went on to watch the newest Harry Potter (and the Half-blood Prince).
My feeling is just that the movie is trying too hard to be narrative, trying to catch up with the books and the expectation of the fans; it kind of lost some of the movie quality it should have. When Dumbledore died, it wasn’t so sad or shocking as it was in the movie (okay, maybe we all know how the story goes, so it takes away a bit of that surprise.. but still, I wouldn’t have minded if there were more suspense).
The last book is still sitting on my shelf. For some reason, my subconscious just refuses to read it. Perhaps it wants the story to never end – albeit knowing it’s impossible. I still have a slightest hope that Snape isn’t on the evil side….. I really hope so. But from what I heard, this is not the case. :(
And Steph, I really miss called our chemistry class “potion class” in high school!
