Harry could feel the scar on his forehead burning as he surveyed the wreckage of the past 3,500 pages. Sirius lay dead, Hedwig lay dead and Dumbledore lay dead. And now Voldemort lay dead. He alone was the ruler of Magic Land. “Did they really think I was going to stop there?” he cackled manically. “Now to take on the Muggles and that Pussy Jesus.”

uff das ist viel auf einmal…
through google find ich muehsam, deshalb frag ich dich gleich hier:
was ist eigentlich mit jake gyllenhaal passiert?? warum ist dre jetzt ein schircher mukimann und was hat der mit der peinlichen reese witherspoon am hut?
pfff. ich glaub er verkraftet den tod seines besten freundes nicht oder so.
wurscht ich muss jetzt auf die uni und ueberhaupt.. ich meld mich :D
Gibt Gottseidank immer viel zu lesen im Internetz. :)
Was mit Jake Gyllenhaal ist, weiß ich nicht so genau. Aber wenn du willst, recherchier ich’s und stells nächsten Dienstag unter AQATG online… ;)
Vielleicht hat er sich gedacht, er muss mehr Mainstream werden? Oder er hat für die Prince of Persia Rolle Muskeln aufbauen müssen. Vielleicht hat er sich einfach in Reese Whiterspoon verliebt? [Die finde ich übrigens gar nicht sooo schlimm.]
*shrug*
Lass von dir hören!
A new Dracula? Cross my fingers and hope very VERY hard it’s not bad! I fear it has equal potential to be really awesomely wonderful or really terribly disappointing…
And the Sherlock Holmes movie news: thankyou thankyou thankyou! Though I have a hard time picturing Jude Law in the Watson role… maybe I’ll have to wait and see!
According to the article, it’s based on notes by Bram Stoker himself. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not… I guess we’ll see.
And you’re welcome for the Holmes movie. Not that I had anything to do with it. ;)
Jude Law as Watson… I think it’s an interesting choice. Because my mental picture of Holmes and Watson is shaped by The Great Mouse Detective… So, I guess Jude Law is not a fat mouse ;)
