Great Moments, Wendy! 

I guess I'll have to read OoP a few more times before certain, 
obscure moments become really emotional for me (about 3/4 through 
second read)

For instance, the "You Solved It!" moment hasn't become really 
powerful for me until later.

fly

> Now me (Wendy) again:

> Don't get your hopes up. I used to dream about hearing Alan Rickman 
say "Or maybe he's waiting to hear why you two didn't arrive on the 
school train."  And we all know how *that* turned out.  (FILCH????? 
ARGHHHHHHHHHH) 

I know. I know. I'm steeling myself for the worst. But, as PoA is 
still my favorite book and I love Oldman and Thewlis (but was hoping 
for Hugh Jackman), I'm still going to be hopeful.

Lestrange will be the one to prove his (Darrin's) theory about Snape 
trying to round up less-than-fanatical Death Eaters and return them 
to the fold - I never got a response to that post).


Wha? I must have missed that one. That's a GREAT theory. That would 
rock. 

Bellatrix: Let's see, another day, who shall I kill today? Where's 
that worthless husband of mine?

Rodolphus: (enters their bedroom): Trixieeeee... you got 
some 'splaining to do!

- I love the 80s moment: "We were like the last house in Jersey to 
get cable. We felt Amish."
