Jul 8 2008Instinctual Analysis of New 'Harry Potter' Photos
Over at the MTV Movies Blog, they have some new shots from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince complete with thoughtful, thorough analysis of each photo and how it may fit into the story. I, on the other hand, know very little about the Potter-verse (I assume people call it this), and had to keep referring to their post just to remember the name of the latest chapter (Half-Blood Prince? Whatever you say, Rowling). So my post for the same images is considerably less informed, but it has a lot of heart and can-do spirit.
Now it's your choice: an analytical dissection based on knowledge and insight, or go with my gut. (My gut is never wrong.)
A redhead boy is stuck in the world of 1920s Tron.
Young Portia de Rossi assigns her eyes genders; albino Jonathan Pryce sulks.
A youthful Steve Jobs receives a disaproving glance from the Emperor.
P.S. These are all accurate.

Read the book maybe?

LOL! I thought that was Chancellor Palpatine across the room from Harry also. Poor Maggie Smith -- she looks like a Dark Lord of the Sith now.

then again, the reality of those shots is much, much more depressing.

I'm just wondering, as I have read quite a few of your blogs already - do you like and respect anything? Because you seem to deride everything, even when you know nothing about it. Except female boobs. I've noticed you have quite a lot of good things to say about those (unless they're small) and frankly, I find that sexist and annoying. Try reading the books or watching the movies of Harry Potter before you deride it please. At least you'd have more informative and interesting things to say if you knew something of what you were talking about. Just saying.

I hope for #6s sake that he was being sarcastic and/or just wanting attention.. because man, if that criticism was real, thats some sad shit..
thats like writing into the onion and saying "how about a truthful article for once?", cause your "reading harry potter brings more enjoyment than boobs" thesis isnt all that strong. Just saying.

Wow, Ron gets boob pads? I guess Quidditch must be hard on the nipples. Maybe he just doesn't want anyone to know how cold he is.
I'm glad that this will be out soon, but I wish they'd hurry up and make the last one too, cause that book was fricken awesome.

#6, seriously. Some of us could check our news elsewhere, but we like to get it without sticks up asses. Its called a joke, and I understand if you're that into harry potter, you've probably never heard one before.
I for one died at these pictures and their interpretations.

See in my mind when I read the books nobody looked that gimpy, and Malfoy had trousers that were not in an argument with his shoes.

#6 has small boobs

I've never understood the popularity of Harry Potter. The sequels are so repetitive and boring. There are so many other Fantasy books/movies that are much better. The idea of the orphan magician isn't even original. There's "Sword in the Stone", "A Wizard of Earthsea" and Gaiman's "Books of Magic" to name a few.

While I enjoyed the Harry Potter books, I agree with #16. Harry Potter IS Frodo.
18. whistle - July 9, 2008 2:51 PM
I liked Harry Potter better when he was in that Troll movie.
19. parvax - July 9, 2008 3:53 PM
I'm an unabashed Harry Potter fan and I laughed out loud to all of the analyses. Why read this blog if you don't have a sense of humor?
20. Kirsten - July 10, 2008 1:35 PM
Those pictures are so nice! It makes me wanna watch the film even more!!
21. Squishy - July 12, 2008 9:42 AM
Damn, Rupert looks lame. He is also still projecting that whiny, anal retentive, look he loves over-using. I hope they do this book justice and don't change or take too much out!
22. Squishy - July 14, 2008 1:30 PM
@17 ~gasp~ Harry Potter is a poofter?!
23. Linestepper - July 14, 2008 4:26 PM
@6: Everyone else has had more sex than you.
