Madagascar & Harry Potter (no spoilers)

[allana]

We watched Madagascar this morning and it was wonderful! There were a bunch of kids in the audience and they were such fun :D Kids, it turns out, can be quite deliciously snarky. I loved the penguins....

Before the film started, I bought the new Harry Potter. I wasn't looking forward to it, as I loathed OotP, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. After three and a bit hours of engrossed reading, I'm all done and it's so much better than the last book. The ALL-CAPS of RAGE Harry has gone, thank Glod. Its sad, dark, more tightly plotted than the last rambling volume, and for once I was right about a few twists and outcomes. I feel jolly smug.

And now I shall nap.

I nabbed my sister's copy of Harry Potter while she was out this afternoon. Got to page 350 or so before she nabbed it back. I'm enjoying it so far, and looking forward to reading the rest tomorrow afternoon, after I wake up.

I bet she was thrilled to find you reading it ;) People get so territorial about their copies of HP!

Hope you're having a good shift....

Um. No, she wasn't exactly impressed. Just as she wasn't exactly impressed to get back from shopping to find me still in bed reading it...

This Harry Potter is better? This Harry Potter is better?! Eee! Must. Read.

I'm with you on the hating of OotP. BUT THIS IS BETTER?

Can't WAIT until Sunday when I can pick up my copy...

Yes, I thought it was much better. It's still receiving its share of negative reviews, though. I need to re-read it at a sane speed now ;)

The HP fen are going to go batshit crazy though!!

Aaaahhh, need it, need it! No, I don't want to know who dies! She is getting better as she writes, I thought so too. Hrmpf. Can't wait to get my hands on it...

I am also looking forward to watching Madagascar, all the more as the German dubbed version will be starring the voices of a couple of very interesting people, among them members of one of Germany's really good hip hop bands (Die Fantastischen Vier in case you want to know). *bounce*
