Putting a positive spin on it.

I have decided that, if the film of GoF is uncanonically portraying Durmstrang and Beauxbatons as old-fashioned in their lack of co-educational status, this means that the homoerotica in both schools is rampant--and that Hogwarts is by comparison a hotbed of progressiveness and so there's even less homophobia there than we slashers pretend, in our giddy fandom brains.

So meh.

OMG, yes!!!

Though I'm interested in finding out where the twinks boys who supposedly came along from Beauxbatons got to. Curious. And in one of those screen caps, the guy on Krum's right is totally checking out his package. Just saying. :)

Agreed. There were SOME boys, or at least, some people from Beauxbatons that Harry thought were boys...

I wanted to see Durmstrang girls and Beauxbatons boys! Of course, I also wanted to see Harry nekkid, spied on by Myrtle, and I'm guessing I'm not going to get that either.

That was like, the best part of the book, too. Darn screenwriters.

I know there are too many things that will be changed for me to get up in arms about 'em. So I'll just hope that lots of slashfic gets inspired by this film.

Well, I think that's inevitable, really, but it's always fun if they can add serious fuel to the fire. :)

And bless you for using that icon. Bless you. :)

*grins* I saw you and said, "I know which icon I should use."
