Harry Potter trailer for film 6

aaaaaaaaaaah harry pot pot, at last those big wigs at warner brothers are doing you the justice you deserve. It took them until the fifth film to get the formula right and now the trailer for film six looks like it could be even better. It gave me frickin shivers. It looks amazing; Dumbledore's narration gets me all nervous even though i know what happens. The setting of the cave for the hufflepuff horcrux looks just how i imagined.


BUT who is this giant imposter pretending he belongs in a potions lesson? Is this meant to be Professor Slughorn? Why is he 6 feet tall, and where the frig is his lovely bushy walrus moustache? Slughorn should be almost perfectly round, red faced due to excessive drinking and have a more impressive lip wig than Hercule Poirot. Imagery is so important with harry p, they need to get it right. At least Jim Broadbent who's playing him is likeable enough. Maybe he'll be able to pull it off. Perhaps i'll be too grief stricken by having to re-live Dumbledore's death to care.

  1. Love your blog, it's so exhilarating! Not least because you are dressed as a skeleton in your picture.

    Many thanks again for your time and assistance with our group's presentation powerpoint stuff. Think we did well and I thought everyone else's in the class was excellent too.

    Would be good if we could get handouts from everyone. It was all interesting.

    My blog has been taken off private settings now so you can have a mooch. Please say SOMETHING back to me!

    ps I also love that you have put feminism as one of your interests. Any particular favourite theorists? I love: Simone de Beauvoir, Helene Cixous and the Wife of Bath (who, despite being a fictitious character in The Canterbury Tales, and written by a bloke) was an early example of feminine indignation at being told she was subordinate to a masculine, linear discourse.

    I miss all that gender jazz...
