COS on ABC

I haven't watched COS for a while, so this will be fun.

6:20 Is Harry sitting in Ron's lap in the car when they escape the Dursley house? It looks like it. Why hasn't there been any cast commentary yet? That's the whole reason I'm putting up with the commercials.

6:25 Yay! They inserted the scene with Lucius and Draco!!! *drools happily* What is it that the shopkeeper takes out of the box that Lucius says isn't for sale? God, I love Lucius ordering Draco around...

6:30 I really dislike Dan's hair in this film. They got it right in POA. And I had completely forgotten how H/D slashy this film is!

6:40 Where's the freakin' commentary? Hey, has anybody else gone to King's Cross station just to take a picture of the place where they film? *sheepish grin* The car scenes are cute, but Rupert's overacting is a bit annoying. He was so much more natural in POA. And why did they decide to put the whomping willow so close to the castle in this film? It makes no sense.

6:50 My cats REALLY hate the mandrake noises.

7:00 Kenneth Branaugh is brilliant! *nudges [livejournal.com profile] loony_moony*

7:20 Where's my commentary...? *whines*

7:26 EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Wow! Hair! Gah. Footage! But so short!!! Could Dan look any more like Elijah Wood?

7:35 Hagrid: "That bludger's been tampered with!" Thank you, Captain Exposition. Oh, and nice spit-take, Dan! :-P

7:45 I love that Justin Finch-Fletchley is the ONLY boy at Hogwarts who seems impressed by Lockhart. *snerk* "And this is my lovely assistant, Professor Snape!"

7:50 Library scene! I like that one. And this line by Hagrid is kinda pervy: "Harry, you look all hot and bothered." My husband used to use that particular phrase as a polite way of saying "horny". :-P

8:05 Was the whole "Maybe I'm the Heir of Slytherin" scene in the film? I'm having a hard time telling what's deleted and what isn't. If it isn't obvious, this one is my least favorite of the films...

8:15 Best line delivery in the entire film: "I didn't know you could read." *snerk*

8:18 *gasp* I've never seen that bit where Harry and Ron, still polyjuiced, run into Crabbe and Goyle! Wow!

8:33 The scene with Tom Riddle and Hagrid is a bit cheesy, with Hagrid being in shadow the whole time. OMG, is that a commercial for a VIBRATING razor???

8:48 Was the scene of Ron and Harry getting under the invisibility cloak new? And hairbow!Lucius! Heh.

8:53 Squeee!!!! Behind the scenes GOF footage! Dancing! Awkwardness! I'm already in love with Dan's hair. Wow.

9:06 I love how snarky all the teachers are towards Lockhart. There's always one loser teacher at a school, and all the other teachers talk about them behind their back, too. ;-)

9:18 Ron's wand backfiring on Lockhart is such poetic justice. And Branaugh plays it so well! "Do you live here?" *snerk*

9:25 Squee!!! More behind the scenes stuff! Harry and Ron snipping at each other -- so cool! Oh, I can't wait!!!

9:35 Is it just me, or does the basilisk fight scene have a bit of a cheesy Clash of the Titans feel to it? Great line: "Funny the damage a silly little book can do." Spoken just like a fundamentalist Christian, and from the mouth of the devil incarnate. Heh.

9:40 Eeee! Willy Wonka trailer! Johnny Depp!

9:50 Oooh! Lucius and his pimp cane! I love the way he's lit in this scene -- so ominous. And you gotta love Dobby knocking Lucius on his ass!

9:55 Who's the teacher in the funky hat sitting next to Snape?

9:58 Okay, I KNOW I've never seen the scene with Lockhart in the straightjacket before!!! Okay people, I need some COS-inspired porn now. Got any recs?

10:26 [livejournal.com profile] gmth has posted transcripts of the GOF-related stuff! Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

I'm annoyed that none of the DVDs have commentary on them :( I'm such a commentary whore. Loving the Futurama DVDs because each episode has commentary on them :D

EEEEEE They put in the extra Malfoy scenes! :D

I know! I love commentaries. *pouts*

[identity profile] emmagrant01.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
YES!!!!! *bounces*

Grump. Place we're staying isn't showing CoS. The ABC affiliate is running Jeopardy!!!

Is this the bonus scene from the DVD just put in its proper place?

[identity profile] loony-moony.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
And I just LOVE Kenneth Branagh. :D

What is it that the shopkeeper takes out of the box that Lucius says isn't for sale?

I always thought it was Riddle's diary...

Just FYI, but the cast will not be talking about CoS, they'll be talking about filming GoF. I'm taping with the TV off, then I can go back and FF to all the GoF goodies. Yay!

[identity profile] emmagrant01.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
He's just perfect!

[identity profile] madlori.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Dan almost has soccer-mom hair in this movie. Too coiffed. It might be longish in GoF but at least it looks shaggy and teenage, as opposed to PTA.

[identity profile] emmagrant01.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is. It's pretty cool to see it inserted, at least!

[identity profile] emmagrant01.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I always did, too, but it looked like something small. Hmmm.

[identity profile] emmagrant01.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's the only reason I'm watching! :-D

[identity profile] loony-moony.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
And Lucius' HAIR! EEEE HAIR! :D And the drama queen attitude! :D

[identity profile] emmagrant01.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Soccer mom -- seriously. :-P

haha, I'm at Kings Cross regularly and platforms 9 and 10 aren't next to each other... that bit is filmed between platforms 3 and 4. There's a little archway round the corner with a little "Platform 9 3/4" plaque over the top.

And the bridge that Harry and Hagrid walk across in the first film...? Boarded up to prevent people from jumping.

The fandom got really excited about #1. *laughs* It was talked about for weeks!

If anyone has the answer to #2 (the box), I'd be happy to hear it...

[identity profile] emmagrant01.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I have a picture of that archway! I walked across that bridge, but it was about a year ago.

[identity profile] son-of-darkness.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
haha, I have a picture of the archway, too. haha. We're so sad, lol.

[identity profile] emmagrant01.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I can only imagine that spawned a lot of Harry/Ron fic! ;-)

[identity profile] ex-ella-bane358.livejournal.com 2005-05-07 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
hee hee, I'm glad you're doing this Emma :)

Yay for the Lucius and Draco scene!!

And oh, the h/d slashiness is soooo there.

When are they gonna talk!!! I'm getting sick of these commercials, ugh.

[identity profile] emmagrant01.livejournal.com 2005-05-08 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
I know! I want to see the actors. I want to drool over Dan and Rupert's hair...

[identity profile] ex-ella-bane358.livejournal.com 2005-05-08 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my god, I know! Rupert's hair reminds me of John Taylor of Duran Duran!

YAY, they put the Gilderoy quiz part in!

[identity profile] lagreyeyes.livejournal.com 2005-05-08 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
*snickers* It did - oh my, yes.

(Just can't get into Ron, myself.)

[identity profile] emmagrant01.livejournal.com 2005-05-08 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, right! I forgot the quiz wasn't in the film.
