As a Darklord, I am intimately familiar with the particular brand of world domination J.K. Rowling has unleashed on the world. (And I'm a fan. Hey Ro, why don't you return my calls? All that stuff that happened in Malta is water under the bridge, baby!)
So even though I already know what will happen in the latest film installment of the Harry Potter series, I'm still really excited to see the movie.
There are a few favorite scenes from the book I'm particularly anxious to see depicted on the big screen.
Here are the 10 Scenes I can't Wait to See in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince":
- Luna Lovegood puts headphone on Harry and says "This song will change your life," but the headphones are cursed and so Harry's face catches fire
- Ron's brief, but nearly deadly, stint in an underground broom racing club
- Snape tells Malfoy to "Shoot the glass" in that great Alan Rickman voice
- Harry and the gang are offered Wizard Drugs. Can they stand up to the peer pressure, or will they risk it all just to fit in?
- Along with a little help from the castle ghosts, Ron expresses his true feelings for Hermione during pottery class
- Harry pulls the sword from the stone, holds it above his head and yells "I am the chosen ooooooooooone!"
- New professor Horace Slughorn introduces himself to Hogwarts with a rendition of "Wilkommen" from "Cabaret"
- The zombies
- After kissing Harry, Ginny Weasley pulls away and says in a dreamy voice "Now that's magic."
- Dumbledore shower scene
Comments
I'm seriously stoked for the Dumbledore shower scene. I wanna know what shampoo he uses.

That was...underwhelming. I wasn't expecting a bastion of originality but..jesus that was just boring.
Have you considered...trying *not* to be funny?

what this fella, WarpedElements, doesn't get is how to use a comma instead of....those...or....how to use a sense of humor.

WarpedElements has ein good point. Zis website makes decent villain jokes, but ze other material often falls flat. Ze villain swap und choosing ein evil pet? Ist sehr gut. Die re-cut movies, zis article und das stupid meat composer page? Ist Scheisse! Bitte focus auf die villain-humour more, ja?

Herr Oblivion, are you making fun of mein accent?

Ja.

Herr Oblivion, you have just moved up eight hundred places on mein 'To kill' list. If you keep zis up, you might even end up in ze top hundred of it.

This Warped Elements has a sense of humor, just not a boorish and childish one. And he uses ... for pauses. Consider it a dramatic pause if you will.
But it's ok. I forgive you. You're just like the herds of Transformers 2 fans who admit to being shallow and want mindless entertainment. It just makes conquering you easier.
*Insert maniacal laughter here*

And apparently he jumps back and forth between first and third person.

I totally am. I'm so glad you have me pegged via internet!
I just like good humor, stuff you obviously can't enjoy for its pure silliness. Good humor does not equal transformers 2, unless you are paying for a ticket specifically to laugh at it, which many supervillains wouldn't do, because we're cheap.
and pauses work, in say, a novel, not an internet comment.
but, judging by your comments and....pauses, I'm guessing you don't read novels.

Oooh swing and a miss. I didn't say Transformers 2 was 'good humor'. I said you were like those people, who like shallow and cheap entertainment. Stupid and fluff for the sake of entertainment shouldn't be encouraged. A bit of fluff inside something interesting, something besides the main point of a story or a movie, can be enjoyed. But fluff for the sake of fluff is just horrendous.
It's good to see that when you're not trying to be condescending, you're showing your inability to read and comprehend.
But again, I absolve thee.
Heh..yeah I don't read novels...
Hilaaaaarious.
