I really felt the need to say it, because it seems so unfair.
graphic submitted.
I completely agree. Emma is a beautiful person (inside and out) but she just isn’t a good actress. Kristen Stewart’s decision to play Bella Swan… I still don’t understand why, but besides the whole Twilight shit (which she and rpattz hate), she has done great in other movies.
I disagree completely. Emma is an amazing actress. The perfect Hermione. Also, in Ballet Shoes, she shows that she’s great. Kristen..eh. I’ve never liked her as an actress or period. Opinions are opinions for a reason though..
I beg to disagree, Emma’s acting in Ballet Shoes was awful. Don’t get me wrong, I do like her but to say that she is an amazing actress is a bit far-fetched right now. She has improved— GREATLY improved— though during Deathly Hallows but I have yet to see My Week with Marilyn and Perks of Being a Wallflower before passing more judgement.
Same goes for Kristen. I’ve only seen her in Twilight, Adventureland, and Runaways (I’ve seen Panic Room but I didn’t know it was her back then) and her acting in every movie has been meh.
Anyway, point is, both aren’t great actors in my book. And most of the time Emma Watson hardcore fans go ape shit whenever someone points this out (Exhibit A: this post)* which annoys the hell out of me.
*By this post I mean the entire post and notes, not particularly yours, badw01f. :)

These are two different books.
Two different plot.
ONE isn’t better than the other.
‘cause they are UNIQUELY built
by their respective creator’s imagination.
That’s why i don’t understand why people
are so much in the need on comparing which one
is better.
Some of the people who says “Twilight sucks!” doesn’t even know how to write a short story. You guys must know how hard it is for both of the authors to create a novel series.
I have read both of the books.
And I think, they are both incredible.
Please Respect that.

I disagree in everything you’ve just said but I’ll focus on one aspect because this kind of reasoning has always irked me: “Some of the people who says “Twilight sucks!” doesn’t even know how to write a short story.”
Agreed that not everyone can write well or come up with an original plot like authors do but isn’t that the whole point of being an author? To create good, quality books for us readers? On the other hand, it is our— their consumer and audience— right to criticize their works. So NO. Just because majority of readers do not know how to write does not mean we don’t have the right to complain if the book we just picked up and bought was a crappy one.

~SPOILERS~
Season finale was kind of meh. I mean from all the build up from last week’s episode, you’d expect something more grand for the last episode but alas, they made this episode the denouement of the season… and just that.
A few things,
- As much as I understand the writers take on the Excalibur scene and that Merlin making up the whole story and helping out Arthur pull out the sword by magic actually makes more sense, I still feel like I’ve been cheated my whole life regarding this particular part of the Arthurian legend. Boo!
- Morgana really needs to get laid
- Aithusa should lay off the whisky (WTF were you thinking breathing onto Morgana and saving her?)
- I wanted more screentime for Tristan & Isolde, they were supposed to have the greatest romance story during that time after all
- Merlin speaking in Draconian never fails to turn me on
- Merlin was so badass during the scene with Agravaine (“I was born with it.” line made me all giddy!)
- and Merlin could really use some magic reveal soon/ next season. He looks so tired with all the hiding and deception from Arthur. :(
BUUUUUTTT I loved the coronation scene! Gwen looked lovely. So excited to see more character development from her next season as she steps into the role of Queen of Camelot!
Ugh why does next season have to take a year??? I really love this show despite all its flaws and sometimes crappy scriptwriting. Countdown to next season begins!

But aren’t Dementors lured to people because they feed on happiness? Then they suck the soul out of them once there’s no happiness left to sustain them. That’s why Sirius was able to escape Azkaban in the first place, because the Dementors couldn’t sense him completely. So they probably could suck the soul out of the Horcrux but would they even be able to sense it in the first place?

If I see one more confession about being proud to be a hufflepuff because they get so much house hate, i’m going to scream. I have never seen any hate directed towards that house and I don’t get where it comes from. We get it, you love your house.
graphic submitted.
To be fair, I don’t think it’s house hate at all, it’s the Slytherins who get that. I think it’s more of the fact that most people tend to neglect or ignore Hufflepuffs and just assume that they’re the wallflowers of Hogwarts and sometimes that’s waaay worse than knowing people flat out hate you. So yeah, I think that’s the main reason why you keep seeing “I’m a proud Hufflepuff!” posts. It’s to actually make others understand that they too play an important part in the book, and that they have characteristics that are worthy of a praise or two. :)

Come on, guys. We’re talking about the girl who made The Boy Who Lived fell in love. She must be playful and stunning.
They selected the cast too young - and got stuck with Bonnie.
graphic submitted.
I like Bonnie, I like Emma. The problem I have with this confession is that OP’s implying that a guy like Harry’s stature cannot possibly fall in love with someone who’s not “pretty enough” (although I beg to disagree, Bonnie is gorgeous!). Harry fell in love with Ginny because she was feisty, smart, brave, and could fight and stand up on her own despite knowing that she could have just always relied on her 6 brothers to protect her. Harry fell in love with Ginny because of her personality, not the way she looked.
Also, sometimes I don’t get this fandom. You have people complaining that Bonnie and Clemency isn’t pretty enough to be their characters then you have those who complain that Emma’s too pretty to play Hermione. I mean really guys?

I also think that JK should have made her and Neville Marry off. Because what was the point of Neville confessing his love in Deathly Hallows if it was just going to be put to waste.
Neville-Luna scene in the movies was never canon though. They just placed that in coz they knew there was a big fanbase who ship them together. :)

Pottermore wasn’t as great as I had hoped it would be, and that makes me sad because now I’m afraid Harry Potter won’t reach the younger, more technology centered generation.
That’s the thing though, as much as I love technology I believe that there are still things that are best introduced the “old way” which in the series’ case is, through books. Pottermore was simply an add-on to the franchise and not a come-on. What worries me more is that the young ones would cease picking up books and hence not get into reading because they just couldn’t appreciate the beauty of flipping one real page to another instead of just dragging your fingers from left to right.
