Halfblood Prince

[slumber]

Can I just reiterate my absolute adoration for Harry/Luna? I think they're fantastic together. Harry's so fucked up and Luna just gets that, same way that Harry's been able to figure out her quirks and just sort of roll with her oddities. (Doesn't help that the H/G scenes just look so FORCED.)

I've never read any Harry/Luna fics though. Problem is that Luna is such a difficult character to write. Anybody have any recs? I might go through the crack_broom tags.

PS. I love this movie. It's somehow lighthearted and dark all at once. I forgot how many EMO!Draco scenes existed here--he's always brooding in a corner or something--and UNF, that scene with Narcissa and Bellatrix in Snape's house! And yet at the same time it's like Harry, Hermione and Ron all discovered they've got hormones. Which is like. ABSOLUTELY the worst time to get them, arc-wise, but whatever.

PPS. And Blaise is quite fit. I couldn't be happier with that casting, truth be told.

PPPS. Who are those twin Slytherin girls? They're creeping me the fuck out. ETA: Mystery solved! According to bitchet, they're the mysterious Carrow twins. They look like they were cast for the movie specifically, and they even have Harry Potter wiki pages.

Hell yes to Harry/Luna! In the books I was leaning more toward Ron/Luna, but in the movies her and Harry are just so spot on together. The actress who played her... I can't remember her name... but she did such a brilliant job, I think. Movie!Luna had this air of tranquility about her that sort of gave weight to her oddities, if that makes sense. She could so easily have been overplayed and hammed up.

LOL, emo!Draco! He should just quit the wizarding world and become a folk singer, I think.

Evanna Lynch! :D And I love Luna, I don't know why exactly. She's HARD to write and I've never even tried, but. She's great.

Folk singer :|

Yes!! I've never tried to write her either, I don't think. And she served a great function in the story as well. And honestly, from book 1 I was a H/G shipper, but when it actually happened it was so wrong that I'm happy just to ignore it.

He would be an awesome folk singer. He could write angsty emo folk songs about the unfairness of stuff. And wear black turtlenecks.

Yeah the idea of H/G isn't bad either, I'd ship it since I'm not otherwise invested in what happens to Harry as much as others, but oh wells. :P

And then fish when he couldn't be bothered with the world? :| :D

Black turtlenecks would look FIIIIIIIINE on him.
