My Limit-Knowing, Let Me Show You It
I didn't sign up for Yuletide this year. It was a combination of factors: the delayed signup process left a short time to write. And I stalked the requested-fandoms summary and saw that no one had requested the fandoms I really wanted to write and no one had offered the fandoms I really wanted to ask for.
Plus, y'know. NaNoWriMo. And 1992 Drawer Novel From Hell. And GOE. And jobhunting. I'm sad because I really enjoyed the last two years I did it, but sometimes you just gotta sit a dance out.
I DID goof off enough to go see HP & DH with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
divinetailor and family last night, though.
1. I liked Hedwig's death much better in the film than in the book.
2. Of all the instantly-recognizable voices I expected to hear in a Harry Potter movie, Nick Cave's was not high up on the list. WTF?
3. I'm so in love with the animated sequence used for the Three Brothers story that part of me wishes they'd done the whole damn thing like that. ALL the movies.
4. Anybody see that glimpse of Gellert Grindelwald in the window in the rain and get a flashback to Jonathan Rhys-Meyers as Steerpike in Gormenghast?
5. Anybody else think Xenophilus Lovegood was kind of shockingly hot?
Anyway, so...back to work!

2) I saw a friend tweeting about that later -- I didn't recognize his voice at all, don't know when the song was even played. Then again, I only know two of his songs, and one's a cover.
3) Catching HBP on cable last night and noting the similarities in the closing credits, I had Mom check on the director's name because I thought it might be the same guy.
4) Yes ETA -- I wanted to IMDB the movie because of a few actors I was sure I recognized but didn't know from where, and Grindelwald was the other one. The one who Harry Polyjuiced himself into to infiltrate the Ministry was the biggest one, and then Mom mentioned he'd been in The Tudors and I went, yeah, that's it and forgot the IMDB thing.
5) No
