Sounds like a pretty good deal, will work with our router and that as well. Not to mention free calls to Virgin mobiles! I could end up using none of my mobile phone credit at this rate, or next to none anyway.

Thoughts on Deathly Hallows
Well, after all the buildup, and expection, and (for me) seven years of waiting, I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows just before midnight on Saturday the 21st of July. That was slightly unexpected - I knew I had Sunday as well to read, and so I was taking my time (well it felt like I was taking my time anyway) and yet finished it Saturday, partly due to the fact that by 10 I was at the point that there was no point in stopping. My immediate reaction? A feeling of completeness and fulfillment. I didn't cry or anything, which I half expected to do, but I think I was so enraptured throughout, then so happy with the ending that I didn't, which is probably a good thing, but the film version may be a different story!
Is it my favourite? I don't know. I loved Prince, and the surprises within it. I felt that there were less surprises in Hallows, partly due, I suppose, to the fact that what could happen was narrowed down, and had been discussed so much, that a lot wasn't surprising for that reason. Also my favourite fan-fiction was scarily close in some respects - although I always said I read them to see someone's theories on what happens, it was still rather close on some aspects. I've started reading it for a second time, but I think at most it will be equal with Prince as my favourite.
I'm actually looking forward to hearing the actor's responses to it - this was the first time they had signed on to it before having the ability to read the book before hand, and so I'm looking forward to hearing what Dan, Emma and Rupert think. I think its going to be an interesting film - it is more cinematic than Prince, but I don't think I'd want to direct it - what to cut for starters, and I have no idea of which director, except perhaps Peter Jackson. I'm looking forward to the Polyjuice Scenes already - I'm sure Dan (and Emma and Helena Bonham Carter as well) are going to have fun with those! And it may be interesting to see what sort of classification it gets as well...
I've had a bit of a look around to see what people on the Internet think, and it seems that a lot do not like the epilogue. While I do (in the main) disagree with them, it would have been nice to see what careers they all went into, and also how George went on without Fred. Even just a mention of 'presents from Uncle George' would have satisfied me. I expect that Jo will answer a few of those bits and pieces at the webchat on Tuesday. I also like the fact that while the series was tied up nicely, there is still lots and lots and lots of room for fan fiction. There is, after all, nineteen years to fill in, and then there is the second generation. :)
So, overall, I'm happy, satisfied, however you like to put it. Thank you, J.K. Rowling, not just for giving me one of the best weekends ever, but for creating this amazing world that, no matter what people say, will be a classic that will continue on in the years to come, and that I will be always proud to say that I was, and will continue to be, a fan.
Oh, and I must admit it was fun watching all the newsbreaks and spotting us in the background - I was interviewed for '9am with David and Kim', but the guy asked me to explain HP in 30 seconds, with my immediate reaction being 'is that possible?' (plus I'm shocking at thinking on the spot) and turning round to the others, leading to Dana talking about Hogwarts and making it on, and me being cut. Ah well - I am destined to behind the camera after all, not in front :P

The Road to Deathly Hallows - viewing the Goblet of Fire, joining the Order of the Phoenix
...and acknowledging the Half-Blood Prince (ran out of room in the title).
Well, I'm now approximately 5 chapters into Half-Blood Prince. I finished Goblet Thursday, and in my rush to finish on time, I went straight into Phoenix, which I finished yesterday, which has to be the fastest I've read it since the weekend of its release. This means that I haven't had a chance to post about either until today, and that means I cannot remember anything I was going to say about Goblet. I did think about writing notes as I read it, but in some ways that seems awfully like school, and I didn't want to be doing that while reading it for the final time pre-Deathly Hallows. Maybe one day I'll do it, I don't know. The main reason I was blogging about the books was that I wanted to record my thoughts, but that's kind of been ruined by my forgetting - but then again it must not have been important.
Phoenix I found interesting to read post-film. Not that it pointed out things that the film cut that perhaps should have been in it (it didn't), but it did remind me of scenes that I now remember seeing photos of them filming - like McGonagall in a wheelchair by the lake reading the Daily Prophet announcing the return of Voldemort, and Harry's (or James', for that matter) double skipping stones on a lake. I can't help but wonder how much footage is lying around that they shot that wasn't used. Sure, there's always lots on a film, but they seem to have almost shot the book ending, then changed their minds and used the ending included (which I do like). I was also thinking too about how I think I almost like how Sirius is portrayed in the film better than in the books - I understand why he is like he is in the book (same as I understand why Harry is like he is in both book and film), but when I read the book the first time, I remember not feeling too sad that Sirius was the character who died (not to mention relieved I had finally gotten to that point - the big question for Phoenix was always who was going to die, and before reading I had guessed Hagrid, but at points in the book you think its Ron, Fang, Professor McGonagall or Hermione), partly because I didn't feel as emotionally connected to him, even if he was the last sort of family member for Harry. The film however, while it hinted at how much Sirius hated being locked up, he was still kinder, and you could really see how much he truly cared for Harry, and so I had a much stronger connection to the character.
As I said, I'm a few chapters into Prince, and due to the fact I haven't as yet started packing for the weekend, plus uni Wednesday and Thursday, and Toy Sale Thursday and Friday, I doubt I'm going to have time to post about Prince, and this may well be my last post before the Book (scary, I know!). I just thought I'd mention about how much I like the first chapter - 'The Other Minister'. I really like seeing how the Muggle and Wizarding worlds are linked, and like I discussed with others when we first got the book and saw what the chapter was about, how funny the idea is that people like John Howard, Tony Blair and George Bush would know that the wizarding world existed (though, as the Lexicon points out, none of those were in power at the time of Book 6 - Clinton was the US President at the time, and I think that Blair and Howard would have been just after, I know Blair was PM when Princess Diana died in 1997, anyway). The chapter does a good job as well of showing both sides of the story, the terror that Voldemort inflicts, and the immediate differences between Fudge and Scrimgeor. Its just a pity that the chances of it making the film are so, so small (even if I was directing, I'd cut it and go straight to Spinner's End).
So I'm afraid that's all, folks. In a few days, all will be revealed. As for what's after that, who knows?

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (again, again)
And so I was right - the film was even better on a second viewing. My issue with the speed disappeared, and confirmed my feelings that Phoenix is like Azkaban - but without the plot holes.
Now its been released, I thought I'd mention a few things that I didn't talk about yesterday. First of all, there was a twist, even for a book-and-film fan like me. I'd read on the Internet fairly early on that Marietta Edgecombe had been cut, and that Cho would be the 'snitch' instead. This made sense, and in some ways would have been an easier way to break Harry and Cho up. However, they didn't develop their relationship up enough (something I was a touch disappointed about, but Harry and Sirius's relationship was far more important), and then, Snape tells us that it was because of Veritaserum. I loved that. I also loved the look on Ginny Weasley's face whenever Cho was mentioned when she was around. That's one of the great things about this film - that if something has been cut, it has been subtly hinted at, as well as those little 'fan' moments, like Ginny or the goat (I laughed so much at that).
The acting was brilliant of course - Evanna is amazing, and you can't help but grin stupidly when she's on screen. She's absolutely gorgeous. Not to mention Imelda Staunton is incredible as Umbridge. In some ways, Umbridge is the worst of the villians in the series, with her horrific punishments, and that the students cannot escape her. She's not outwardly evil like Voldemort, which in some ways makes her all the more terrible. Helena Bonham Carter is also fantastic - she is completely deranged! The original cast members are much improved, and Dan's crying is again an improvement on Azkaban. The only issue I have with that whole scene is that with the removal of sound and all it reminds me a little bit too much of Frodo and Aragorn in The Fellowship of the Ring, but that's okay.
Also, I must admit that I did find it a little funny that, again, lines were repeated from the previous film, and they had a different scriptwriter this time. In particular a line of Moody's at the start, but sadly I can't remember what it is! I also like how when Harry is explaining Patronuses (which should have been done in Azkaban) he basically quotes what Lupin told him. Oh, and they cut that weird line from the trailer! Though I'd still like to know where it's from. I guess if I went and watched the trailer again I'd probably figure it out.
I also like how Yates was able to truly show what being in school was like (in Defence Against the Dark Art Class), something Newell tried to do in Goblet and didn't quite work, yet Yates achieved it in one scene.
I should also mention the visual effects (being the multimedia person that I am). I'm still disappointed that they didn't make the centaurs like those in Narnia, but as they didn't really do a lot I suppose it doesn't matter anyway. With Grawp, they were able to put humanity into the character in a way I didn't think possible, not to mention Emma did a fantastic job acting against him. The thestrals, while looking different to how I pictured them, were still great. I would have liked to have seen flying on them from one of the characters who couldn't see them though. Tonk's hair change came off better than I expected, and I like how apparition appears. I'd love to know what effect Rising Sun worked on - perhaps the writing on the hand? I hope they update their website with that information.
So, overall a fantastic film (though am I ever going to say a Harry Potter film is bad?) that I'm looking forward to seeing again - in IMAX. I should mention too that one of my friends reckons the Dumbledore/Voldemort fight is one of the best ever - and he's a Matrix fan :P

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (again)
I'm listening to the soundtrack currently...it is rather weird to see the words 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' in my iTunes playlist. The score is rather different, but its pretty, and I'm looking forward to the music book, even if I'm not sure how well these themes are going to play on piano. Plus it has a touch more of 'Hedwig's Theme' than Goblet as well, which is great. I'm not sure as to whether it overtakes Azkaban as my favourite though. They are so different, which is fantastic, but Azkaban will always have a soft spot in my heart. After now two different composers (and I expect Nicholas Hooper will be hanging around for Prince as well), I can't help but wonder if it would be kind of weird to go back to John Williams for the seventh (or Chris Columbus, or Alfonso Cuaron, or Mike Newell for that matter). We shall just have to wait and see.
As I mentioned yesterday, I'm seeing the film again tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to seeing how the film plays on a second viewing. While it felt like it ran so fast on the first viewing, a second viewing always feels longer. The 'running fast' thing may be just me by the way - one of the first comments I heard at the end of the screening by someone was "that felt like a real film". Perhaps I'm just so used to the length of the book, I don't know. I was thinking today as well about the fact how everyone talked about splitting Goblet into two, but yet that never came up for Phoenix - it's pretty obvious that there's not enough story for two. I was also thinking about how Phoenix was the first book released after the films, and how Phoenix was the first book release I went to....(I'm getting sentimental again, I know).
There's more stuff I'd like to comment on, but in case some of those who read this happen to check it before seeing the film, I won't mention it yet. But there are some cute little 'fan' moments that made me laugh. I'm also looking forward to the fact some of the people coming have never been to Gold Class before, and I must admit we have never 'done' Gold Class to this scale (we normally order standard movie food, this time we're getting dinner food. But I'm still getting a choc-top - must not break tradition, well that tradition anyway. I did kind of break one by seeing it in Vmax first - was worth it though, if nothing else for the experience).

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Okay, I confess.
I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix today.
Through a friend of a friend, we were able to get double pass to a preview screening run by Village Roadshow this morning. We had to leave our mobile phones in the car, with no other hand held devices on us, and arrive a half hour early for security checks. There were TV cameras and still photographers outside, and people in suits, and periodic checks by Village staff. It was all very exciting. Not to mention that the movie was incredible. I won't talk about it now (we're not under non-disclosure agreements as far as I know, but I'd like time to let it sink in), so I'll leave that until after when I see it on Wednesday.

The Road to Deathly Hallows - Meeting the Prisoner of Azkaban
Well, just as I thought I was getting my reading back on track, I was sick Sunday night. My plan had been to finish Azkaban Sunday, then watch the film that night. Did not happen. I ended up finishing it Monday, which then meant I couldn't watch the film until last night, thanks to stocktake.
Continuing on from my last post, I could see more of a link between Azkaban and Phoenix this time around - apart from the Sirius link, there's also a hint of the anger that is to come from Harry in the future. I'll talk more about that though when I get to Phoenix.
I did have more to say on Azkaban, but now I can't remember what! I do find it a little odd how, in the space of a few hours, Harry is able to go from hating someone he hardly knows, to wanting to live with that same person - says how bad the Dursleys are, I suppose. And I like how Sirius goes from being called by his surname, to being called Sirius - by all of the main trio, actually, yet even in the later books, Professor Lupin is still called by his surname.
I remember being pleasantly surprised seeing the film for the first time - the series went from having a very-much-big-blockbuster feel, to a more arthouse like feel. I think that, without having seen Phoenix, Alfonso Cuaron has to be my favourite director - he just seems to have this innate ability to tell what is right for the film and the world. Yes, he did some not-so-great cuts to the storyline, but it is such a visual masterpiece, and has my favourite soundtrack of all time, I can forgive him.
Also, I won't talk about the acting again, but last night I couldn't help but notice how much I love the scene with Aunt Marge. Apart from the fact most of the lines are taken from the book, watching Fiona Shaw as Aunt Petunia is just so great. I also must admit I like how they closed the film with Harry getting the Firebolt. Oh, and while I hated the fact that they changed the credit style at first, now I have it on DVD, I love watching the footprints.
And let me just go on the record - I think when JKR said the film forshadowed Deathly Hallows, I think she was referring to Harry and Lupin on the bridge. I'm just as likely wrong, but oh well.
The next few posts in the 'Road' series, by the way, are probably going to be a little messed up, as I'll be seeing the Phoenix film before I finish the book (and guessing will be itching to post about it) and I also probably won't be able to watch Goblet beforehand either (or finish the book for that matter - I'm only about 12 chapters in!)
