No. It says "What does your jawline say about your sensuality?"Caroluna wrote:Suddenly the ad up at the top of the page asks "Are you the world's best mom?"
My thoughts exactly. I expected the veela to be presented with some pretty heavy make-up jobs to make their form of beauty as unearthly as described. Instead we just got a bunch of pudgy teenaged kids from anywhere.emmline wrote:Not that Clémence Poésy who plays her isn't attractive--she is, but she's normal attractive imho, not someone who's going to have them dropping in the aisles.
Or just find a leaked copy online.gonzo914 wrote:
Since you're in the UK, you are five to eight hours ahead of us in the US. You could get your copy, open it to the last chapter, check out who dies, and then post it here so I don't have to stay up until midnight. Then I could sleep in on Saturday and amble over to the bookstore at my leisure.
(And if you were really a, that's exactly what you would do.)
That's a much better way to state what I meant.emmline wrote:More to the point in HP films, there really haven't been female characters who are older than teen who aren't really strangely eccentric in some way--

I have a long shabby green dress, so all I have to do is smear some potting soil on it. And I need a Mandrake plant. I figure pantyhose stuffed with cotton will be a good start.....the things we do in pursuit of "childhood memories"
Yup, we'll have to do that... I can't believe I got talked into this!Cass wrote:If any of us are going to HP parties/ bookstore openings etc, etc, please take a few silly photos of your costumes...we can all have a snigger together at them later!!Caroluna wrote:

Cass.
Oh I so agree. She's supposed to have a sheet of platinum blonde hair. They gave her more like a pillowcase.emmline wrote: Which brings me to my main casting quibble.
I was surprised by Fleur. Not that Clémence Poésy who plays her isn't attractive--she is, but she's normal attractive imho, not someone who's going to have them dropping in the aisles.
I understood the Veela thing to be more spell than actual appearance. Theyir presence makes the guys go all stupid and *see* them as the most wonderful/beautiful/desirable/must-be-impressed-at-all-costs thing in the world ... in the book, when they were exposed for that short moment of skirmish at the World Quiddich match, they reverted to the horrid little thingies they really are for just a moment before they remembered their facade.djm wrote:My thoughts exactly.

Harry's mom looks okay, but that would be taking "drop-dead gorgeous" too far.

Lock it? No way. I have no investment whatsoever in this. Make your pacts and oaths, be honorable unto them - or not - and we'll see the stuff that all you HP enthusiasts are made of.Caroluna wrote:BTW--
Should we ask the Mods to lock this thread as of midnight? Or we could all make a pact with each other not to give any hints.
Would "I loved it, I laughed, I cried" be considered giving spoilers?
