It was annoying and super weird because in HBP, we got the perfect example for a good Slytherin with Slughorn. He showed that you can be attracted to power and be a little sneaky and greedy without being evil. And unlike Snape, he didn't have to sacrifice his Slytherin traits to fight the good fight. The hate on that house is so ridiculous.
YES. I just wish there'd been a student who got the same treatment. I'm planning one for my fic, and I'm super excited.
Emma Watson was impressive in the last 2 movies, but I'll never understand why they cast her in the first place. Her acting was quite terrible in the beginning, and she looks nothing like Hermione in the books.
Agreed. I find her beyond delightful as a person, but she is just not Hermione, is she? I might be a little bitter because I pretty much would have made a fantastic Hermione if I weren't American. And also not an actor.
Btw, what do you think of Michael Gambon's Dumbledore? I mean Dumbledore WAS kind of a douche, but his portrayal killed whatever magic was left in this character. He looked so agressive and creepy all the time, ugh.
I agree. I thought he did a pretty decent job in PoA, actually, but after that his performance was just off. If only Richard Harris had lived! He was wonderful and whimsical and fantastic!
