#Dumbledoreness Galore!

Yuss! 7 more days to go! In case you follow me on twitter as well... you should have noticed my massive amounts of #Dumbledore posts. haha. This is because of http://www.whatwoulddumbledoredo.org/. I'm seriously thinking of taking up the Dumbledore Movie Night challange. Just in case I decide to go through with it, I've compiled my favorite Dumbledore quotes/lessons.

  • "Sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often. It's best not to say anything."
  • "Let us pursue that flighty temptress, adventure."
  • Just because it happens in my head doesn't mean it isn't real.
  • We must choose what is right over what is easy.
  • "By all means continue destroying my possessions. I daresay I have too many."
  • "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."
  • "...It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be."
  • "Don't count your owls before they are delivered."
  • "Oh, you know about Nicholas?" said Dumbledore, sounding quite delighted. "You did do the thing properly, didn't you?"

Haha. The last quote was, obviously, from Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone. I'm convinced that I must call it Philosopher's now. Have been for a few months actually. When I told my dad he just rolled his eyes. I mean, really.... Philosopher's sounds so much.... better. Don't you agree?

Anyway. KATE BOUGHT OUR HALF-BLOOD PRINCE TICKETS FOR 11:55 AT THE RIVERWALK MOVIES! w00t w00t! :DD

And today I watched the live streaming of the UK HBP Premier red carpet interviews and such with some ladies from the Press Association. They annoyed me a bit with some of their rambling. They said Hagrid was an ogre [*ahem* half-giant, thankyou], they forgot that "Lucius" was Malfoy's first name, they almost completely forgot that they needed to interview Rupert, then they proceeded to waste precious interview time with him with MORE THAN ONE question about his bout with Swine Flu. I mean, really. He's there, he ain't dead, obviously it wasn't that bad. Letsmoveonnow, kthanks. :) They also asked Gambon how he felt about filming his LAST MOVIE. Hmm, okay... TEN SECONDS earlier they had just been talking about having read all of the books. Apparently DH doesn't count? Gambon looked at them for a second like they'd lost their minds. haha. Made me laugh. Oh, at least they gave Dan some AWESOME questions. I was really happy about their interview with him. Dan was SOOO hyperactive it was hilarious. He was bouncing from interview to interview as if he wasn't soaking wet and had just consumed 3-4 double-caffeinated coffees. Of course, they had to ask the prerequesite, "What's different about this film?" And he answered with the standard, "Its getting darker again," answer. But he also talked about the romance and the comedy. And he talked about the obsessive nature of his Malfoy-hunt. I'm glad to know this movie won't be all quidditch and kissing. Even though those two are GREAT. ;) haha. I do hope they'll make clips of that interview available. I want to watch the Dan interview again. And I loved his suit. ^_^ It was beige with white piping, paired with a salmon button-down. I forgot what color his tie was, but I liked it. Stacy & Clinton would have approved. ;) Emma was wearing a gorgeous full-length dress, if majorly low-cut. Her interview was probably the least exciting. Her answers were vague, but to be fair her prompts were horrible. Then they wasted her last question on her college decision, which she isn't talking about. There were, of course, the kissing/teasing questions being bounced around. The full list of interviews I saw:

  • Dan
  • Rupert
  • Emma
  • Jason Isaacs [LUCIUS Malfoy]
  • Matthew Lewis [Neville -he was the first interview -LOVED IT!]
  • One of the Patil twins [dunno her real name, I assume it was Parvati?]
  • Tom Felton [of course. ^_^ Gorgeous boy, that Tom!]
  • Jessica. [Think that's her name. The one playing Lavender Brown.]
  • Bonnie Wright [I wantsss her hair! And the dress she was wearing!]
  • James&Oliver Phelps
  • Jim Broadbent [Sluggy!]
  • Robbie Coltraine [Rubeus Hagrid, at yer service!]
  • David Yates [at least they asked him some decent questions!]
  • Michael Gambon

They either didn't get to interview Alan Rickman, or I somehow missed it. :( Because they had some spotty streaming for a bit. Maybe it was the rain. It was POURING down. Apparently that's tradition now for London HP premiers. haha. Everyone was soaked. But that's alright. Rupert, Dan, & Tom look very handsome when they're a bit soggy. ;) haha. And I was very amused with all the accents going around. And British slang words. I loved it.

I am SO FREAKING EXCITED!

SEVEN DAYS! W00T W00T!

So. Be sure to put #Dumbledore in as many tweets as you can! Even random, non-HP related ones. ^_^ And remember, What Would Dumbledore Do? [Even though I disagree with the fact that they are using it as a blatant advertisement for LGBT/equal marriage rights/equality. Which, I'm not surprised. But, I'm disappointed that it seems to be the main focus. But who am I to complain... little miss conservativist.] Anyway, ranting aside, I'm scheming a way to get sticky-sticker paper for my "What Has Dumbledore taught Me" nametag/stickers on HBP night.

[7 days!]
