So, the Nazgul and I went to the English language midnight premiere of "Prisoner of Azkaban" here in Munich.

It was a very grown-up audience; we two were the only ones in costume, but as we know that Where We Are Is Up, we didn't mind. My huge witch's hat made quite a splash, and the people in the row behind us sighed audibly with relief when I took it off before the movie began.


Just a few remarks:

The werewolf: Gah!! Euuchhh!! So not it! Whoever designed that creature should be fired summarily and condemned to the hell of doing wire removal for third-rate superhero action movies.

That. Wasn't. Moony.
Am in denial.

The chain of clues for Sirius/Remus: all missing. More than made up for by a) Snape's pointedly nasty "Old married couple" remark, and b) that desperate, passionate blather Sirius spouts at Remus to keep him from changing. The next time I see the movie, I must disregard the action in the foreground of that scene and listen solely to what Sirius says.

They hugged very intensely in the Shrieking Shack, too.

Buckbeak was well done.


While I was cycling home, I noticed a fat orange moon hanging low in the sky. So it was actually werewolf night tonight...

I am a shameless fangirl, and shall be watching the movie solely to bounce up and down during the "old married couple" line and the hug. To quote one lj review, "They don't hug like brothers, they cling like lovers." On the downside, I understand the movie is most bogusly Great Snape Moment-less. Nevertheless, I shall watch it for what it is: an adaptation, not the Book On Film. Or at least give it a good shot.

Ahahahh, well put! I shall try and metaquote you, so's to spread the word of the true wolf, or something!

And yes, Buckbeak was surprisingly well-done, and even sorta solid and gravitatious (?). At least compared to the were-CG.

Know what: I'm such a sad creature, I totally missed out on the full moon yesterday until I saw it. And such a beautiful one it was. Shame. No pack, no howl...
