Harry Potter And The Magical Carpet

We finally caught a screening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Did I say we? I meant me, and dragged B along with me. It’s quite amusing listening to a non-fan/non-reader’s perspective on the movie. Especially all his questions about movie details that you wouldn’t understand unless you’ve seen the previous 5 movies or read all 7 books.

For example,

• How come Dumbledore doesn’t need to speak to cast his spells?
• Why do they need wands?
• Where’s Gary Oldman? They should bring him back.
• That was stupid that they had Harry end up with Weasel’s sister. He should have come after Hermaphrodite.
• What was that thing he threw on Harry on the train? You know, the carpet that looked like the floor?

Yeah, that’s what B called the Cloak of Invisibility. A carpet that looked like the floor.

Then again, you should hear the questions I ask him about Angel or Buffy. Or X-Men.
