something wicked this way comes

- all of the Harry Potter films, even the good ones, are stilted and choppy as hell.
 - omg this movie LOVES the Harry Potter universe. all the magic and school life!!
- the trio all look good in this movie. DanRad is perfectly Harry-looking here. Emma Watson is good too since this is before she decided that acting meant being shrill and breathy and hysterical. AND I LOVE RON'S HAIR IN THIS MOVIE. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. OMGAAAH.
- I love Emma Thompson. 
- movie!Neville is so tall and lovely and adorable.
- god this movie just LOOKS great. omg so pretty.
- case in point: the Care of Magical Creatures class scene is SO PRETTY.
- how can Buckbeak look so good while the werewolf looks SO FUCKING SHITTY????? did they run out of money or something?
- at first I thought the pacing of the movie was strange, but it's not really pacing, is it! the minutae of the magical world/Hogwarts life isn't filler, it IS the movie. broken occasionally by the threat of Sirius Black. so PoA is the first and I think the only one to have a real directorial interpretation of the book. it's very much from Harry's point of view. 
- lulz the record player. Lupin is a such a dweeb.
- I hate that mustache.
- what is this Remus/Lily?
- lulz Percy.
- even with HAIR THAT I LOVE, movie!Ron sucks.
- Lupin and Harry bonding field trips. just mentioning it
- I love Prof. McGonagall
- I LOVE THE WEASLEY TWINS' HATS.
- I suppose it's very difficult to try to show ~invisibility~. 
- LULZ MALFOY'S RUSSIAN FUR HAT
- Harry is so great-looking in this movie.
- I love winter clothes. all the sweaters in this movie!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE. 
- omg crying scene. gross.
- there is something quite odd and dare I say, dodgy, about movie!Lupin. maybe it's just the pedostache.
- I love all the astronomy models and candles counting down in Lupin's office
- RON'S HAIRRRR, I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS.
- HAGRID'S SUIT.
- this movie is remarkably unemotional.
- "you tell those spiders, Ron." DANRAD I LOOOOVE YOUUUUU
- movie!Ron is such a sulky whining thing. BUT I LOVE HIS HAIR.
- Hermione is good in this one.
- the trio hugging. all those jackets an hair! RON'S HAIRRRR.
- I have a special fondness for Harry and Hermione as a team.
- OMG SO MUCH MAKE-UP ON DANRAD. IS THAT ROUGE?? LOLOLOL.
- Gary Oldman is amaaaaaaze.
- Lupin is a such a limp-jointed nasally braying ambiguous weirdo. PEDOSTACHE.
- I kind of REALLY LOVE movie!Sirius. his added dialogue is especially good.
- I CANNOT EVEN BELIEvE HOW FUCKING STUPID THE WEREWOLF LOOKS. FUCKING AWFUL.
- this movie does not hold together well at all.
- lolol Hermione slapping Harry's hand away from the Time Turner.
- hmm and now it's coming a bit together with the time travel part. Time travel makes everything better, obviously. 
- lolol Hermione's arm flailing running. I am damn fond of Hermione in this movie. 
- I can't decide if this, or any of the other, Harry Potter movies can stand on its own and make sense apart from the books. I think this one could, it's just that the plot is verrrrry patchy and doesn't match up with the book and it would evoke zero empathy from the audience.  
- LOL DUMBLEDORE. LOOK AT ALL THE STRAWBERRIES. THIS DUMBLEDORE, YIS.
- Harry's little dream cottage planning! his little face!
- "Yeah, I didn't think about that." action!Hermione!
- "That was so scary." awwww I love that.
- Hermione's such a star in this one. this is good because I find her fucking insufferable in the next movie. balance!
- LOLOL DUMBLEDORE A+.
- giggly in jokes!
- Lupin is suuuuuch a creeper omg. he is like a creeper alcoholic uncle who likes kids to sit on his lap or something. I worried that it was a sign of superficiality, that I resent this non-hot, non-wonderful Lupin, but NO, Thewlis plays Lupin like a fucking alkie creeper.
- WUT. THAT'S HOW IT ENDS???
- I like the end credits though.

bottom line: MOVIE!RON IS BEYOND USELESS BUT HIS HAIR, HIS HAIRRRRR
