One of life's pilgrims

[Error: unknown template qotd]

When I was first introduced to the world of Harry Potter (watching the first three films in one day, which included going to see the third on its release at a local cinema), I was quite drawn to Harry/Hermione, if I'm honest. I guess just being a bit old-fashioned and thinking that it's right for the hero and heroine to pair off together. This despite soon learning that it was a doomed ship. I still clung to it...

These days, I'm more slash-oriented, and Sirius and Remus is my number one OTP ever in any fandom - I just think there's something wonderfully sweet about them together, and they're almost but not quite canonical, and I've got a little happy place where ( spoiler ) they're living together in a cottage in Gloucestershire, where they're often visited by their adopted son Harry, on leave from teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. (I've got to write that one day.)

Also, Ianto Jones with...well, anyone other than Jack (who I'm convinced is going to break his heart), from any fandom I'm particularly fond of pairing him with George from Being Human and Sam from Supernatural, and one day I'm going to write my Big Slashy Epic Crossover which combines all three series and pairings into one...mess, probably.

And I really love Merlin/Arthur, but heck, that's canonical, so I don't have to want to see it. *g*

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be two films.

Which I think is good, especially as David Yates is directing.

And, as Kye has pointed out, it means more fandom meetups. Yay! Good Thing!

And there's still Half-Blood Prince to come later this year, so the world of HP-dom still isn't dead, even though the final book has been well and truly published (can I stop posting plot points under spoiler cuts now??!).

And on t'same BBC news page, I see that there's going to be a new Carry On film. Mmm. Dunno. I mean, I like the original films, but I think if Carry On Columbus proved anything it's that without the familiar faces, they're not the same. (Mind you, if ...England and ...Emmanuelle are anything to go by, even the familiar faces can't rescue a dud...)

David.
