I won't comment on the quality of Harry Potter - be it film or book. I rather enjoy reading all your funny posts.
But I honestly hope the comments about the spelling of the word "library" earlier on were meant to be jokes as well.
Or was my English teacher right in saying that American kids are too stupid to write their own language correctly???

Becuase it was either that or the Government of British Columbia. The bottom one is my own sucky website, 4 years in the making, and I havent even got one thing done. Besides, of of the stuff Wil posts is funny. (Am I the only person who likes Wil Wheaton ?)

That doesn't count thinking about doing it when I got the computer and thinking about doing it when I had my computer anyway. That was about 3 years 11 months.

I'm sure the "libary" joke was intentional. But, yes, most American kids are too dumb to write/speak properly, anyway. Same goes for the adults.

You know, I think I'm the only person who's ever linked to the Government of British Columbia website in my .sig. So, while I won't rule out coincidence, it does beg a truly terrifying question: "Does BWC have powers of perception?"

Yes, Wil Wheaton's web-site isn't that bad. Hating Wesley doesn't mean you have to hate him. He seems like an okay sort of fellow.
"Or was my English teacher right in saying that American kids are too stupid to write their own language correctly???"
Their language?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Ok, with "their" language I should have referred to the English-speaking part of the American population. (are there any left by now?)

Oh, Judas Priest, not another of those "oh my god we need to close our borders to anyone who doesn't speak english because we're for english speakers only no matter what the damn French statue in Socialist York says!"
Back on topic. Harry Potter. Boy with lightning-shaped scar. Sidekicks: Ron Weasely of the red hair and numerous sibling fame (one sister, five brothers); Hermoine Granger of the unpronouncable name and studious nature fame.

Thanks for the tip on finding the chopped scenes. I would've never had the patience to figure that out on my own. Hell, I barely had the patience to get through it even once I knew how.
To top it off, the scenes weren't even that good! Given the hoops one has to jump through, they should have another whole movie hidden there.
To those considering reading the books: I suggest skipping to Prisoner of Azkaban. It's darker and more sophisticated than the earlier books. Plus Rowling finally figures out how to write a decent ending.
