Letting the Fangirl Out to Play

[meddow]

Isn't anyone else just a little disappointed that we only get one shot of the Order itself in the OotP trailer. On the other hand

Though where on earth is Remus? Don't tell me Harry just decides to go along with the Order without Remus there. He's only been duped by a fake Mad-Eye Moody once before, which only lead to the death of one person. I suppose not quite as bad as choosing an escape convict over Snape before he gets an explanation like in PoA, but movie!Harry's a bit of an idiot (though he gives a good speech, I'll give him that).

Meanwhile my flatmate watched Daleks in Manhattan and she though the random decomposing thing was a Rutan too (well in her words "the enemy of the things" which I've translated to mean Rutans) and she's not half the fangirl I am (and I don't even think she's seen Horror of Fang Rock, just the documentary on Sontarans from the Sontaran Experiment DVD). Maybe the BBC is recycling old props.

Another thing, I cannot express how much I'm loving Heroes right now. Not only is there such a great villain in Sylar (I demand a Sylar vs. Voldemort cage match!), but one of the most complex and interesting relationships in the show is between a father and his daughter. It's tomato soup for the gen loving soul (Tomato soup is infinitely times better then Chicken soup.)

And finally, I was watching Singing in the Rain today and am totally in love with Gene Kelly. He's so dreamy.

Remus is definitely in there -- he's at the dinner table at Grimmauld Place and there are pictures of him holding Harry back at the end of the Battle at the Ministry. It is silly that he's not with the Order as Advance Guard but a lot of movie!verse logic makes very little sense. Sadly, I've heard tell that Tonks is only going to have about 3 minutes screen time which makes me really sad.

Gene Kelly is the man. Me love him long time and I can recite Singin' in the Rain in my sleep. Scary, that! :)

Maybe the help of Tonks prompts him to leave? I mean, how many pureblood, elitist Death Eaters have pink hair? ;)

But seriously, yeah, it's too bad, because I love that whole scene, where Harry is comforted by hearing Remus's voice, and Remus knows it's really Harry because of his patronus. At least it looks like they're keeping him holding Harry back after Sirius's death, though.

Gene Kelly's thighs are a thing of beauty! Did you ever see the Pirate? They're bare, there.

I too think its stupid that they didn't include Lupin in the Advance Guard. I mean, he's the only one out of the bunch who Harry knows and kinda trusts, cuz you can't say he knows Moody seeing as he wasn't actually 'Moody' in GoF!

But, I'll live. I'm really happy that we finally saw 'official' footage of the Order members. Weird how they line up to Accio their brooms, huh? :D
