R.I.P. I didn't realize she was so young. The glass-half-full part of me kept waiting for her to clean up. But like many have stated before me, I'm not surprised. My pilates instructor played Winehouse tribute songs this evening. Nothing like…

I see. They mentioned how his mother's love saved him plenty in other books/movies, IMO, whereas the fact that so many friends stood up for "good" in the end kind of spoke for itself. Harry and V falling off the cliff, in each others arms, screaming…

Saw Deathly Hallows Part 2 this weekend. It was entertaining but not great. The best parts were with Snape, which were also my favorites in the books (also a big Half-Blood Prince fan). Ending with them as a adults corny as fusk, but it was in the b…

Still need to watch S3! I just can't keep myself out of these spoiler threads.
