lolx. she's a topless actress btw.

 

[stars]

Okay this is the first time, I see a large number of people saying Katie Leung is hawt. Haha. Cuz so far, everyone I met has been unhappy that ChoChang turned out that way.

Well I think she did okay. To me, she just didn't exactly fit the real description of the ChoChang in the book. But she was okay. (;

sycododo, yeah those fan sites. Geez. I think many years later, the Harry Potter series could be used in schools for Literature Studies. Haha!

defintely not.

harry potter isnt what you call literature. pop culture maybe. literature not. not as an accepted field of academia.

1) J K rowling targets her books at tweens/teenagers. look at the principal characters and you'ld know what i mean. it makes the book avaliable to a broad spectrum of readers, as they identify the characters with themselves and defamiliarise themselves (your average joe,same people , different world)

2) the way the characters are developed. pretty much standard fare throughout any fantasy novels. in fact, i think the casting of harry potter / the chosen one / the price vs. the dark lord/ the evil supreme penultimate , pretty much runs the common thread among ALL fantasy novels, requiring a supreme protanganist versus a supreme penultimate evil.

in fact , i feel the casting of harry potter as a tween - teenage wizard is deliberate to exploit the market again

3) theres nothing ground breaking about rowling's work. nothing technically special or unique. perhaps it would be fair to say that warm style she writes it, creates and develops the characters well enough for the readers/audiences to engage with the characters as it is reminiscent of their own lives at some point or another, yet altogether fresh and new as it is in a different setting(read: a magical world).perhaps it is the way Rowling allows us as readers to emphatise and feel for the characters through developing and focus on their nature, their struggles rather than the struggles of the world around them. character driven, but then again , nothing new.

maybe academia of pop culture/ literature ?

harry potter is escapisim, dosent serve to really bring about an issue or theme that makes you think. thats what literature is fundamentally all about. the presentation of the writer's perspective in an alternate manner for our common understanding and to urge us to consider it from that perspective.

+1

nicely said.

 

[BrainFailure]

it's definately the best HP movie so far!!

 

[WJ]

lolx. she's a topless actress btw.

i know :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

[sycododo]

i'd prefer the 1st movie.
or 3rd.
8)

 

[pepper-]

I was kidding on the literature stuffs, stars. Lol. I seriously doubt it's gonna be used as a Lit text myself.

HP movies are fab as it is. But well, they do spoil our imaginations, don't they? Lol. I don't really mind anyway

 

[candie]

HP movies are fabulous because:

1) You get to ogle at hot guys
2) You get to ogle at hot girls
3) They paint a picture of the book for you
4) THE GUYS ARE HOT!

Okay I'd better run before I get stoned. LOL =x

 

[MadWerewolfBoy]

the guys are hot? really? hmmm u like ang mos ah :lol:

 

[knightlaughalot]

basically in every harry potter movie, parts of the book were cut off. but the director didnt really have a choice. i mean even if we were the directors, we'd love to keep in below 3 hours as it'll cost lesser too. so i wouldnt complain too much anymore. and yes oogling at the girls for 2.5 hours is more than what body lusting guys should have. lol.

i havent watched the 4th movie yet. i feel disgraced to call myself a fan

i would love to see doroles umbridge and her oh so fantastic quill.

AND i wanna seee some kissing man! hahahahahhahahaha. *sorry*

and come on man, the way u guys talk about the french chick half naked is as though she's gonna be featured in another HP movie wearing nothing but a thong and swinging her wand around. (u idiot dont think dirty thoughts)

but that'll be interesting though

 

[shibby]

boring lah.........
hermione cute.......

 

[hiroshimorie]

the guys are hot? really? hmmm u like ang mos ah :lol:

I think Tom Felton is cute. And remember the Year 1 Gryffindor captain? Oliver Wood or something. HE. IS. SO. DAMN. CUTE.

 

[candie]

I AGREE! TOM FELTON IS SO CUTE! LOL! But this time I think the hottest of the cast are still the Weasley twins.

 

[sycododo]

go weasley twins!!
tom felton's hairstyle in the 3rd movie was like.... "BLEAHHH!"

 

[hiroshimorie]

YEAH. Weasley twins are cute.
