PoA musings...

This picture is fabulous!

Wow.

It's good to finally have some visual *something* about this movie. 
Anyway I agree with the person who said that this doesn't really 
look like book!Hermione-- well, because it doesn't, but then I don't 
think Emma in PS & CoS was either. But the presence of pink is not 
altogether disconcerting. 

I can only say this now because I am quite comfortable with my 
perceptions, meaning, and I can say that I was pleasantly surpirsed 
at this, the movies did NOT change the books for me at all. 
Hogwarts, Privet Drive, the School Robes, Harry Ron & Hermione etc. 
etc. it all looked like it always has in my imagination.

This said, I'm not so worried about deviations in the movie. After 
all the movies are ALWAYS going to be secondary to the books, and if 
film!Hermione happens to like pink (and if that helps Emma Watson 
make a connection to her character in a way that improves that 
character) well-- I'm okay with that.

I really am excited about this film. Everything I've read makes me 
feel it's really going to be good...*I hope*. But, even if it is, I 
wonder whether it's possible for it to get one (or several) Oscar 
nods? I can't really think of any other film franchises except Lord 
of the Rings at the moment, but I'd think that Oscar doesn't 
particularly recognize such movies.

Everything else aside this photo makes me *very* happy as a H/H 
shipper especially since its subtitle mentions *hormones*. ;-) I do 
wonder, though, what things have (to paraphrase) "naturally come to 
the surface"...could it reflect things to come in the books? (Or do 
I think these kids are channeling their characters more than they 
are?)  


Hmmm...
