I sort of wondered if Rowling just got so caught up with juggling SO MANY characters that she didn't have time to draw him properly.Mumsynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-1039741256812054082011-07-19T14:46:29.635-04:002011-07-19T14:46:29.635-04:00Amanda - Thanks, I hope you find some good ones.

I flew to NYC last week and just got back yesterday. I did see the HP exhibit in New York though, and it was awesome! I'm seeing the movie tonight!Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-17483712101916005962011-07-18T03:44:55.194-04:002011-07-18T03:44:55.194-04:00I needed the epilogue too.

This is my favorite HP book, and just reading this post is making me feel sad again!

Going to leave his kid! What a prat! I used to have such a crush on him, and I longed and longed to see more of him, and then when he finally had some stuff to do, in the seventh book, it was a lot of jerky stuff! And my crush on him evaporated completely. Hrmph.<br /><br />(However, I do love it when Harry tells him off, and then Lupin leaves, and Harry says, "Parents shouldn't leave their kids unless they have to." I always tear up at that part. Oh Harry.)Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-6239769225371403902011-07-15T11:15:56.606-04:002011-07-15T11:15:56.606-04:00I can't wait to see the movie!

I heard they shot it twice. The first time the kids had a bunch of make-up on to make them look older, but the director thought it looked too fake. So they reshot it months later with no aging make-up and just digitally enhanced them a bit later.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-64735447289716211382011-07-15T09:26:39.436-04:002011-07-15T09:26:39.436-04:00I loved the epilogue, too.
