Listen you silly children writing this idiotic drivel and then labeling it AU. Stop it. Now.

Just.

Don't.

Do it.

It makes you look silly and it makes me want to throttle you. Changing cannon details just because you like your version better isn't a good thing. If there isn't a reason for the difference, it won't make any sense (although if you're writing this crap, you probably don't care). If you're writing a HP fic and decide that you want Lily to have been in to have survived that night, fine. But you should follow the logic from cannon. Lily died because she wouldn't move aside for Voldemort. If she's still alive in your world, then it follows that Harry probably isn't. If you are writing a VM fic and Lilly didn't die, you have to explain why. You can't just say "Lilly's alive" and have anything make sense! If you have Logan and Veronica hookup in middle school instead of Lilly and Logan (as stupid as that is) explain why. If you have Bill break up with Fleur,you should give a reason other than you dislike the character. There has to be a difference between that universe and the one that was presented in cannon. "Because I like it that way" isn't a good reason. It isn't even a real reason, you petulant, self-indulgent ninnies.

Okay. I think I've gotten that all out. God I hate people sometimes.

I went to see GOF Sunday evening and I have to say I rather liked it (of course I still like POA, but that's only because I'm a bitch for a pretty movie; I'd probably be angry with it if I cared overly much about plot). My favorite thing about it; Ginny. Lots of Ginny. And the twins. For almost no reason. But they were all excellent. And the twins were quite yummy. I had my two year old nephew with me, and he spent most of the time running around the theatre, so I missed a bit of the movie, but I'm going to wait for the DVD, because I don't feel like paying $8.25 to see it again.

I loved the graveyard scene, Ralph rocked my socks off; he does good crazy. The only problem I had with Voldemort was the eyes, but *shrugs* otherwise quite good. There wasn't enough Miranda. She was really fabulous, I wished they'd followed through with the plot point. Oh, and despite the touchy-feely H&H, I don't really see how people can think this movie was H/H. I mean, the thing that sealed it for me was the scene on the bridge. They were talking about Viktor and she said something about him being physical and Harry just grins.

Oh, and I liked the Yule Ball and how uncomfortable they all were. I especially liked the "discussion" between Ron and Hermione, with Harry between them. That was awesome.

But the thing I absolutely loved was the bath scene. It was wonderful. Myrtle was hilarious and so was Harry when he kept trying to keep the bubbles in front of him so she wouldn't be able to see anything. All in all, I liked it, but I wished I'd been able to pay more attention to it.

This was an interesting quizz for me. My results were as follows.

Gryffindor: 82/100
Ravenclaw: 81/100
Hufflepuff: 50/100
Slytherin: 47/100

I answered as honestly as I could. The interesting thing is that I always thought I would be considered either a Ravenclaw or a Slytherin. I was surprised that my highest score came out to be Gryffindor, even if it was by only one point

This comes as absolutely no surprise to me. Though I do admit to wanting to be in Gryffindor sometimes.

*sigh*

I never get Gryffindor.
