Hey there! Good to see so many members already. I sent a bunch of invites also, but quickly went up to the limit!
Just thought we could do with an extra place to discuss this stuff without interrupting the_snarkery. (I'm still posting there, btw, just in case you see me or anyone else who's at both and get confused!)
So I'm not any kind of boss here, anyone can post at anytime. But I thought we could do with a first entry, maybe see what everyone feels like doing:

I'd like to do PS onwards, so we can attack each book on continuity errors. Bwahahaha!

Thanks for starting this community, by the way.

HBP. Ginny Sue. Snarking on her would never stop being funny.

[merrymelody.livejournal.com]

She's so gorgeous random DEs are obliged to comment! And compassionate, too!

[merrymelody.livejournal.com]

The early books don't get enough snark, really...

[merrymelody.livejournal.com]

Snape is way too cool for Harry. (On the plus side, Snaco is more canonical than ever!)

[fraught.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she's extremely compassionate. She... uh... well, there was that time--no, wait, that was someone else. Hm.

Let me get back to you on this one.

[nymphgalatea.livejournal.com]

I say HBP! Because I really want to get my bitch on over Ginny-Sue.

Thanks for starting up this comm. (And is that Mike Teevee in your icon. If so, much love for you! I was rooting for him and Verruca over Charlie)

[pacoman.livejournal.com]

We can always bitch on Ginny-Sue by comparing her to Classic Ginny, though.

(And I think that's Mike Teavee, best character of the film and, paradoxically, the most out-of-place one)

[guza.livejournal.com]

ooooh, thanks so much for setting this up. :)))) Am v. happy.

Don't mind what you guys start on (although HBP and Ideal Ginny are very tempting) - I'll be happy to lurk and read no matter what. :))

[merrymelody.livejournal.com]

She seemed sweet in CoS.
Of course, it turned out she was possessed by Voldie, but still!

[merrymelody.livejournal.com]

Your icon! ;)

Good to see ya.

[merrymelody.livejournal.com]

Yes! Mike Teavee, my new 12 year old boyfriend. How can I not root for someone who'd push over an Oompa Loompa? ;)

[merrymelody.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they changed them all from the book/old film, but it was nice to see a little background for the brats. And yeah, Mike Teavee pretty much rocked. 'Back off you little freaks!'
There's like a whole mini-fandom for CATCF, with fic and everything. Which I certainly didn't look at. *coughs* *pulls collar* Nothing to see here!

I've been enjoying the GOF reread on the the_snarkary, continuing with that would be cool.

*replies with krum icon*

[merrymelody.livejournal.com]

Noted!

Re: *replies with krum icon*

[mizbean.livejournal.com]

Alas, I only have the one Viktor icon to spam you with. I do, however, have Cedric.

Re: *replies with krum icon*

[merrymelody.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I'm out, too. So have Ernie MacMillan.

Re: *replies with krum icon*

[mizbean.livejournal.com]

That's Ernie MacMillan? Cute kid.

I'll give you Cho and I stop and leave you alone:D

(I realized as I went through my 50 odd icons that I don't have one Tom Felton one. I guess my Draco fangirl status needs to be revoked).

Re: *replies with krum icon*

[merrymelody.livejournal.com]

For shame. *shakes head mournfully* For shame.

[nymphgalatea.livejournal.com]

How can I not root for someone who is able to pull off one of the hardest things in the world; i.e. effortlessly snatching the scene from under the nose of Johnny Depp? That bit where he says something along the lines of "Light can be a wave or a particle, duh!" had me on the floor.

I have this weird feeling he'd be friends with Draco, should they ever met in Cracked Out Crossover Fic Land. (And having said that, I now realise that means that there is now a fic out there with that exact plot)

[merrymelody.livejournal.com]

I love the line about how Wonka could be using it for people, cause that's something that always bugged me in the original film - dude, you could be saving people's lives with that thing!
And 'If you hate gum so much, why do you sell it?' EXACTLY. ;)
Anyway, I certainly didn't make a post about how the two are similiar or anything. http://www.livejournal.com/users/slinkhard/32291.html#cutid1
Nope. Not me.

[malafede.livejournal.com]

Voldemort is sweet!

[romeoambiences.livejournal.com]

The only possibility that doesn't make that line look absolutely ridiculous is if it's prophetic. We could have had years but won't because one of us (Harry more likely....Ginny I vote for) bites the dust. WEll....it (the line) would still make me barf.

May I friend you? I've made a journal just for HP whining, bitching, divining and want to add fellow Draco lovers.

[merrymelody.livejournal.com]

I vote both, personally. Hopefully separately. Ie. 'OMG, Ginny, you've been evil and possessed by Voldie all along?! And now you're caught in Big Fight crossfire? Eh.'
*someone else* *stabs harry and puts an end to his inevitable 'This is all about ME' angsting*
*readers* 'Thank you!'

Friend away!
