Thanks! I had Clams, Mussels, and Shrimp over Fettuccine Pasta with an Alfredo Sauce, and Teresa had Eggplant Parmigiana with Spaghetti with a Tomato Sauce. Everything was delicious!

Oh that sounds yummy. I didn't feel like cooking really so I put some fishsticks in the oven, white rice and salad.

jediwands

Sounds wonderful! Glad you guys had a nice time!

jediwands

You still somewhat cooked.

How do you serve your rice? Butter or some sort of sauce?

ds44

Plain. I use a dash of olive oil, some salt and a little onions/tomatoes before adding the rice and water.

jediwands

Yum, sounds delicious. I’m going to have to try that mixture.

. True that .

That's cool and I guess it makes sense .

So you think that he will be the most interesting one as far as being main character in a story.

That must have played a role for sure .

. Makes sense. You need to occupy yourself with non realistic stuff to escape the feelings and emotions of the real people around you.

secretk

That's good!

Ugh sucks. Yeah with your "luck" it's not surprising that you had to pay for that one specifically.

Not sure. I have no car so I can't pick it up myself from the shop, but I can't order it online too because the dimensions are not written there and I don't want another repeat of what happened last week. So I am not sure what I will do. On top of that I want black one and there are not that many black ones.

And I could say that the winter officially began here as well as today it started snowing.

jediwands

I think so. Or I guess you could say the way Rowling presented all of the children, it was obvious he would be the one to have the main role. Just based on his name alone and who he was named after, coupled with his personality, it makes the most sense.

Exactly!

jediwands

Yep, lol.

Pretty! It was snowing in Cleveland yesterday during the football game.

What about if you looked online at a store locally... you then called up the store and talked to someone about what you need, and they could talk to you about dimensions so you'd know it would work. So someone from the store could directly help you pick out the right one... then maybe they could deliver it to you?

Wow Michelle. Your description of Ginny in the books is completely different from the Ginny in the movies. Ginny was practically a non-entity in the movies, and her character could best be described as bland, and Bonnie Wright was sort of plain in my opinion. She's pretty in her own way, but she certainly isn't gorgeous like you described Ginny.

Conversely, I do think that Emma Watson resembled Hermione in the first movie, but in the subsequent movies, we were watching Emma instead of Hermione. To be fair though, I don't think that anyone could have predicted that Emma Watson would have turned out to be so breathtakingly beautiful as she got older, but they could have tried to keep her looking more like book Hermione rather than a gorgeous model.

secretk

I see. Well for your sake I hope that she gets to write such continuation of the story.

secretk

I hope that it was not too expensive!

Is there still snow now? Here it almost melted. Lucky me .

We will see. It's difficult because I want a black one and there are not that many black ones. I liked one, but it's not available in the store I trust. It is in stores that I do not trust so now I am trying to decide do I want to risk it or not. Having my luck (see last week) I am not sure if I want to to risk it .

Sorry to interrupt your conversation guys but maybe the issue was not how good looking Emma Watson was, but how the other actress was more bland like?

And it's not even only about the looks, it's the way the character is portrayed. It seems that the actress playing Ginny did not manage to make her interesting enough for the fans. Is it possible that the writers gave Emma more to do because the fans enjoyed her acting more?

I had a teacher once that told me something. I was really anxious and worried about my math application exam for high school. I could always point out something I don't know or something I need to work on (I used to be perfectionist but luckily I changed). She told met hat it does not matter how bad I am, it matters how good the others are. Even if I am not the best, if the others are not that good either, it would not matter as I will be still able to fight off the competition.

So maybe here it happens the same. Maybe fans focused on Emma's looks so much because the other actress was behind. And maybe what they should have done is actually cast an actress for Ginny that would stand out because this is what her characters was supposed to be.

Well, I don't necessarily fault Bonnie Wright for Ginny being bland, as I feel that was due to the writing, but I do think that Emma Watson/Hermione became a fan favorite early on so the people responsible for making the movies picked up on that and gave her better story lines and more screen time.
