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.

It's probably got to do with the acting ranges of everyone--Natalia Tena was all winky and flirty with Harry in OotP, Emma Watson's got her eyebrows doing all her acting for her, and Bonnie Wright seemed to have confused "Ginny" with "piece of cardboard".

And in the books, he doesn't seem to get Luna beyond recognizing her loneliness.

I think that's where it starts sometimes. :P But that's just me.

Ooh. Flora and Hestia. I'm surprised they actually got names!
