Letting the Fangirl Out to Play

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.

I'm not missing Bill/Fleur in the least so the less we see of it, the better. Remus/Tonks? Depends on how it's played and how badly Steve Kloves butchers it.

Unfortunately, if you saw what the guy playing Bill looked like in Prisoner of Azkaban, I'm not sure I want to see Bill. Supposedly he was promised the role if they included Bill again -- but he looked like a craggy farm hand, not The Hot Weasley. The Charlie actor was just as bad -- the only thing he had going for him was a resemblance to Chris Rankin. I don't know how the casting people managed to get cute kids for Ginny, Ron and Twins but mangled the two oldest and clearly hottest brothers. Sheesh...
