the boy who got some- Harry Potter was fun. It's amazing to consider that they condensed a 600-page book into a 2-hour movie, so of course some things were missing or abbreviated, but I was pleasantly surprised by the minimal number of montage scenes. The portrayals of Umbridge and Lovegood were right on. There were some necessary moments of humor, too. My favorite involved the clumsy-yet-adorable Neville Longbottom who mistakenly stepped in between Ron and Hermione when he thought it was his turn to spar and turned away with slumped shoulders. Yes, I'm one of those girls who finds Neville attractive even though he's got gangly British teeth. He looks respectable sometimes, like when his mouth is closed.
- Harry's kiss with Cho made me snicker. It was such a mushy-mouthed 15-year-old kiss! Cute.
- Daniel Radcliffe has the same birthday as my Dad.
- Daniel Radcliff is one year younger than me.
- Reading Dykes To Watch Out For reminds me of middle school. I can't remember if I started reading it in the 8th or 9th grade, but I know I was fascinated by Alison Bechdel's rendering of humor anatomy, especially during sex scenes. Maybe it sounds stupid, but her comic strip made me feel better about my body. It still does.
- I should probably read some things that aren't illustrated.
