Harry Potter News and Commentary
Here’s a video for people who, like me, don’t have their copy of Beedle the Bard yet.
Watch… and either you’ll be transported into realms of delight or you’ll feel like your head is being pushed into a bucket of blancmange.
Maybe you’ll die laughing.

Bottomless bucket of blancmange.
Hurry up and get Beedle, we need your expertise re: the Hairy Heart.
Thanks,
I’m an expert in all things hairy.
Here in Canada the book (Bloomsbury edition) is being sold everywhere: in supermarkets as well as bookstores.
Red Rocker, on a side note you might want to avoid watching ABC Family channel this weekend. They’re playing the first four Potter movies. Just watched HPSS tonight. Seeing Richard Harris’ performance in the denouement of the movie makes me ever more firmly convinced that they got the wrong guy to follow him. But hey, I’m not complaining.
Oh wait, I am.
revgeorge, yeah, I saw that. I wanted to catch the part where Dumbledore tells Harry he can’t be wasting his life watching the mirror of desirE, but it was too early on and I was too tired to wait. But the point is: I wanted to hear Harris say those lines. His raspy, slightly syncopated voice is how I hear Dumbledore in my mind now. Everything that came after just hasn’t made an impact. Which is a very good thing, if you think about it.
It was great – HP, that is. I watched all of it, except some of the first when we were eating a late dinner. And yes, Richard Harris was perfect, absolutely.
But about that video. What was that, and what did it have to do with Beedle? Except in one scene it looked like the book she was holding was one of the expensive versions with the gems on the leather cover. I couldn’t understand most of the words, but something happens to my brain with music videos – I usually can’t understand most of it. Or maybe that’s just my age showing. (I have to admit that somewhere around half-way through, I fast forwarded to the end, but I’d had enough by then.)

I’ll never be able to write a story like LOTR. I could never act in a movie like LOTR. But it’s possible I could write a LAME song and get to act in a film clip that tries to look like LOTR. That’s a good short cut.
Korg, you spend too much time on YouTube.
Apparently the director of the clip is an Academy-Award winner.
‘And the award for best adaptation of a 14-year-old D&D player’s fantasy goes to…’
Korg, if it’s any consolation, you’ll be getting Half Blood Prince one day before it comes out in North America, July 16th instead of July 17th. So you can go to the theatre, and potentially see it three or four times before we do.
Assuming, of course, that Tasmania is on the same distribution list as the rest of the country.
