GIP!

As it looks like the trailer contains no better pictures of Tonks, I'll use what I've got.




...Have I mentioned this "I'm in yr _____, ____ing yr ______" thing is taking over my life? Someone says, "I'm in the kitchen making tea, want some?" and I yell back, "I'm in your kitchen, makin' your tea!" To which they look at me funny and say, "I don't even try to understand you anymore."

*laughs* Now, admittedly I'm not a great Harry/Ginny or Remus/Tonks fan - but that's largely because the canon executions were just...odd. Mind, I was willing to forgive all the pairing-up in HBP for the sole fact that Filch and Pince were part of it.

I really dislike how the H/G failed to develop over the series and instead was thrust upon us all in a rush. I love Harry too much for that kind of throwaway hormonal romance; that's just how I feel. The Remus/Tonks I didn't mind so much in terms of how it was presented, because Harry wouldn't have been much of a witness to it--it's just that I enjoyed having Remus/Sirius as a subtext couple, and was sad to lose that. (Yes, I know, there are lots of arguments as to why it could still be valid, but it was more fun to think that, y'know, maybe JKR had left that subtextual for a reason. Purposely.)

I had the same issue with the H/G - the first time the facehugger chest monster came up, I was hoping it was going to be some kind of creepy callback to Voldemort and CoS, but then it just turned out to be a 'romance' too superfluous in origin to give their scene at the end of the book any real emotion impact; plus, I didn't find Ginny very likeable in HBP. I also would have dug having the Remus/Sirius subtext preserved, but I wouldn't have minded the Remus/Tonks relationship if it weren't for the fact that it developed her character in no other way than In Love With Remus. I get that she was supposed to be a red herring, but with all the other odd choices in the plotting of HBP, I would have liked to have seen some of that page time going to other secondary characters if we were only going to see her pine and make inappropriate outbursts.

I can't say it better than that. ^_^
