Well, I've always thought the main characters (especially Harry and Hermione) were very mature for their age, which was one of the things that got me willing to give HP a try in the first place (since I don't like kids and would never really read a book with kids as leads) but that didn't follow through in HBP. I thought there was too much focus on them being hormonal teenagers and that's one of the things I wished I'd never have to read in HP. I'm not against that side of them being showed (even though I'm not interested in any of the couples involving the kids), but I felt like I was reading a Gossip Girl book (random pairings, out of character behavior because of romantic interests, etc).

So to me all the Snape storyline was very refreshing, Draco's, too, and the opening scene with Bella is definitely the highlight for me.

I agree 100%, and it's nice to read those thoughts from a non-shipper It shows that it's not just people who don't ship those couples that were upset with the way things happened.

Well, to me Bella scenes are always the highlight For example, if someone mentions GoF to me, the first thing that comes to mind is Bella screaming "We alone were faithful!"

Some very sad news today.

Quote:
Helena Bonham Carter has halted filming on the new Terminator movie to fly back to Britain after four members of her family were killed in a horrific car crash in South Africa.

Bonham Carter's relatives were on a safari holiday in the country when a minibus they were travelling in on Wednesday spun out of control and flipped over after a tyre burst.

The actress' cousin Fiona Bonham Carter, 51, escaped with a broken shoulder. But Fiona's son Marcus Egerton-Warburton, 14, her mother Brenda, 74, and stepfather Francis Kirkwood, 75, all died.

Fiona's sister-in-law Kay Boardman, 54, also perished in the crash, in a remote area six hours' drive from Johannesburg.

Bonham Carter has now been granted indefinite leave from the set of Terminator Salvation in Albuquerque, New Mexico to fly back to the U.K. to comfort her distraught family.

A source tells British newspaper the Sunday Express, "Everyone here was in a state of shock when the news came through. I saw an assistant of Helena's who told me she is absolutely stricken with grief. She can't believe what happened.

The thread starter hasn't been around in a while. Maybe one of the mods can do it?
