Review comments/press notes

[cassandraclaire73 at yahoo.com]

*chortles with evil glee* I'm still on a high from going to the NY 
premiere and shaking Dan Radcliffe's hand. Yes, I know he's twelve. 
But he's Harry! I'm not weird. Not very weird anyway.

I uploaded the press notes Warner Bros sent me into the Files 
section. They are very boring but if we ever need them for reference, 
they have a lot of information about the cast and crew.

Oh, pfft, he completely ignores her -- I've now seen it twice, and he 
does not even LOOK at her or register that she wished him good luck. 
As for Ginny -- when she first sees him her eyes widen -- I had this 
odd feeling she guessed who he was -- but then again how would she?

*eg* Hey, most of us RISS'ers quite liked Ron up until GoF. I've 
always said that chess scene was his finest moment. Then again, look 
at all the fine moments Anakin Skywalker had.

No, he doesn't know about Scabbers being Peter. He has read only the 
first book and that with reluctance. He told me he has "no intention 
whatever of reading the others." Whatever to him, IMHO.

"On the plus side -  well fanfic wise, Voldy offering to bring 
Harry's parents back will  add creditability to a few fanfics."

*laughs* Oy. I thought that too.
