meddowI want to be Emma Thompson when I grow up. She just rocks so much.
When I was as busy, I had three rabid plot bunnies gnawing at my brain. Now I’m not, suddenly they don’t want to be written. My good mood is apparently bad for creativity.
With all the photos coming out of Tonks on the OotP sent does anyone else think that Tonks is going to be given an expanded role in OotP? Look what happened with Hermione; they found a female lead and decided that Hermione wasn’t just good enough as the bookworm, she had to be smarter, prettier, she had to have special physical butt-kicking abilities and got all of Ron’s good lines. Probably all in the name making her a better female role model, which is shit for women since if our female characters are flawless, then it makes human females feel like crap because we have flaws and can never live up to that level of perfection. They completely missed the point the canon-Hermione is awesome just the way she is.
But getting back to my point, the filmmakers now have a female character that fights crime and saves the world and all that for a living, which makes me wonder if they will expand the role somewhat. Whether or not this will be a good thing, I don’t know. Same could go for Ginny.
