I don’t remember Luna’s bedroom ceiling.

Actually, I never read this book. Julia read it out loud to us while we were traveling in South Africa. For the entire time I thought that the three of them (harry, ron, and Harmonie) were in the habit of saying “H-E-Double Hockeysticks” when they wanted to swear. Turns out it was on the fly editing. I also don’t remember the pseudo sex scene. Hmmm..

As for the age thing…
I’m pretty sure Richard Harris (Dumbledore in movies #1 and #2) wins. Macabre, but true.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the aging actually. Even in the adults. TIme has passed, and the conspicuous aging makes the advancement in themes actually work for me. It also makes that pseudo-sex-scene hallucination a lot less creepy. Hermione (Emma Watson) is an attractive *young woman* at this point.

I’m really looking forward to the next film. If it is done as well as the last few, the payoff seeing all the ‘lesser’ characters step-up during the big battle will be great. Hell, I’ll admit that I’ll probably have to watch it a few time to actually catch all the action through teared-up eyes.

PS: I was disappointed that they didn’t show the painting on Luna’s bedroom ceiling. That is one of the biggest ‘tear-jerkers’ I’ve ever come across.

I echo the person who called out Draco for the “aged/grown most” list.

And, sadly, Snape as well. Love Alan Rickman, but he was not looking well in that movie.

speaking of characters that die, if you want to read a good book series that is almost wrapped up and is going to have and HBO show, check out G.R.R Martins “Song of Ice and Fire” series. the first book is “A Game of Thrones.”

here is a spoiler free review:

p.s. i would avoid reading anything else about the books except the review above. there are *a lot* of potential spoilers.

By this time in the story, not everyone is surviving every scene (that started in the last book IIRC).

SPOILERS AHEAD for people who haven’t seen any of the movies after the third (Prisoner of Azkaban):

Well, to be honest, it started in Goblet of Fire (with Cedric) and continued in Order of the Phoenix (with Sirius.) Of course, Dumbledore buying it at the end of Half-Blood Prince started to lay the groundwork for the rather large body count that is Deathly Hallows.

As for YakTrax, I’ll be looking for something similar soon. There’s too much ice to walk comfortably and too little to skate. Balancing on level terrain is still ok for me, but there’s this hill and I’m not keen on the idea of crawling up it.
