Don't read this if you have seen Half Blood Prince.

As that last post clearly shows, I am apparently in a state of dillusion when it comes to Harry Potter but on that note, the new movie was really freaking awesome. Aside from the ending which I believe would have packed more of a punch if it had gone more with the book. I think showing Dumbledore actually magically making Harry stay quiet and still as to not interfere during his conversation with Draco would have been fantastic onscreen. Also, I hate that there were some references to Snape doing this because Dumbledore asked him to. In the book, you literally end the book thinking that Snape is this serious asshole who killed this fantastic wizard, but in the movie, you kind of go, "Ok, something weird is going on here. I don't think Snape really wanted to do that".
I'm also a bit concerned that they blew up the burrow. Anybody else nervous about this? First off, not in the book... Second, there's supposed to be a wedding there in a year. Granted, they will probably rebuild it or something. Although, since they didn't even introduce Bill and Fleur in this movie, I'm a little concerned about that as well. I mean, the wedding is when the ministry gets taken over by Death Eaters and Harry, Ron, and Hermione go on the run. Can they just leave all of that out? And if they are going to leave ALL of that out then why are they even making it into 2 movies? Just make it into another 2 hour shit fest that cuts out the most important parts of the book.
I'm getting a bit carried away, I don't mean to say that the movies have been shitfests. *With the exception of Goblet of Fire, which I pretty much hate.
The thing is, this movie was awesome and stuck very close to the story line with a few notable exceptions. The worry is how those notable exceptions will affect Deathly Hallows.

I for one am just glad the movie finally came out so I knew how to pronounce "horcruxes".

Today at work someone asked where he could rent a monkey. When I talked to my coworkers I told them how that is insane and the monket owner probably uses animal cruelty to get it to be 'rentable'. Secretly I really hoped that in a little while I would get to see and play with an awesome baby monkey before the guest. Whatever. I wish I had a monkey. I could train it to feed the cats if I go on vacation and jopefully it wouldn't get mad at me and rip my face off like that one famous chimp.

While on the subject I was pondering earlier that I am a vegetarian yet I feed my beautiful kittens meat. Does this make me a bad person or at least a non-vegetarian or does it make my kittens bad for eating other four legged creatures?

Just stuff I guess.
