Don't read until you've watched the last Harry Potter movie

I have some complaints about the last half of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'...

1. I believe that the title of the movie was misleading. It should have been called 'A movie loosely based on the book-'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows''. Ok...I understand that the movie can never be as good as the book but seriously??? In some ways I can't blame the director or whoever is in charge of the story-line 'cause they cut stuff out of previous movies and there was a snowball effect (haha! An African talking about snowballs :)) I should say mudslide or something...) but I was disappointed. I can't help it.

2.Why oh why did they change small things in the movie? It annoyed me. The Ron-Hermione kiss happened in the wrong place, it was supposed to be Crabbe and Goyle in the Room of Requirement, Nagini was killed in the wrong place and at the wrong time, why did Harry drop the resurrection stone? What was with the pensieve?? As noted by a good friend of mine, the pensieve seems to have been made more portable. It was like the way people used to use floppy disks and now they use flash disks. Oh...more things; WHY did Snape give tears instead of memories?! What was with the almost gay scene between Voldemort and Harry? Why didn't that curse in Bellatrix's vault also cause the stuff in the vault to burn akina Harry? Why did Harry have clothes on when he went to 'kings cross' after he 'died'?(hehe...my reasons for being annoyed at this are purely professional) I have a million more grievances but the more I type the more depressed I get.

3.Why did they make Snape look like a member of Kiss(the rock band)? I spent a large portion of the movie half-expecting him to chuck an electric guitar from under his robes :) lay off the powder and eye liner people!!!

4.Harry and Ginny had no chemistry whatsoever.

5.I didn't see Fred die. We just see his body. Not nearly as dramatic as I wanted it to be.

6.When Voldemort was killing Harry why did he have to say 'avada kedavra' the way he did? It was HILARIOUS!!!It totally took away the 'Oh my God!' feeling I was supposed to have. I laughed so loudly that the people in front of me looked back as if to say 'you heartless bitch!'...but it was so funny!
So yeah. The last Potter movie...not so bad. It had its moments. Like Snape's memories. I was moved. In the book I felt so bad about it that I may or may not have shed a tear. Just one. That didn't necessarily come out...moving along swiftly...its the end of an era. I feel like I grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione so its kinda sad that their journey came to an end but I guess everything-good or bad(....good being the books and bad being the movies...hehe!)- has to end some time.

The pants dance

I like to lie to myself sometimes. This year, the lie was that I would like to spend my free time doing something constructive. So what did I do? Volunteered myself for some project for one of the student-based organizations at my uni. I have regretted this decision almost from the moment I made it. Unfortunately, I am quite lazy. Especially when I'm on holiday, and it doesnt help that the organization's headquarters is a million kilometres from my bus stop. I guess its a good lie to tell myself 'cause I have to keep hauling my lazy ass out of the house to do something constructive, but its so annoying. True, if I accepted that I am a lazy person and embraced it, I would be a fat and useless (but still awesome) person buuuut...its tempting :) Anyway,maybe if I keep pretending I'm not lazy, the hardworkingness (not a real word) will grow on me and I'll be those over-achieving people we all look up to and hate a little bit at the same time for making us look bad. I honestly don't know how I became lazy. As a child I WAS the ambitious type. A million sports, music, academics...blablabla...I was a pretty amazing child. I love baby-me. I think if baby-me could see me now she'd be a bit ticked off that all her hard work has gone to waste but whatever. What does she know. She's just a kid. I hope when I have kids they're like me until I turned 18. Then they should be like other more polite and well-mannered people :)
On a positive note, I have lost weight! YAY! Its like 1 kg and impossible to notice but considering that I have not managed to lose even one gram since high school I am celebrating with cake...'cause...you know...I can lose the weight I'll gain from eating it :). The thing I like about weight loss is I can fit into this pair of jeans that I like without doing what I call 'the pants dance'. I doubt that guys know what this dance is but ladies who are not particularly thin know what I'm talking about. That thing you have to do when trying to get into a pair of pants that fit you last week but are suddenly tighter. You tell yourself that its not you, its the pants and commence the pants dance which may involve some jumping, wiggling and writhing on your bed. Sometimes the pants dance does not work and you have to start thinking...maybe its not the pants o.O
