Jan. 20th, 2006 11:45 pmIt is probably wrong to have experienced as much inappropriate lust as I did during the latest Harry Potter movie. However, that didn't stop me.
Lord Voldemort. Yes, yes, ultimate evil and without a proper nose. However, has better speeches than many villians, also sense of humor. Puissant, which is always a turn-on. Good voice, too, and that's more important than looks, anyway. You can always turn off the lights.
Malfoy, Sr. He's a fucking grovelling Death Eater, dresses like a Klansman who's been cleaning chimneys. (I cannot have been the only person absolutely choking in the theater to avoid making some kind of Grand Wizard comment during the film...my other thought was that DE gear would work really well for Invisible Pedestrian Halloween costumes.) Yes, granted. But shiny blond hair!* Cane! Aristocratic smirking!
Malfoy, Jr. He's getting a bit tall, but for some reason that isn't pissing me off. Possibly the height rule does not apply to my view of How Things Work.
Fred-n-George. The boys are certainly pretty to look at if you can work the lank thing. (I am so down with that that I could be a fucking comforter.) They also manage to do rather a lot with minimal screen time. It does not hurt that they're so... bookendy! (I am a book, of course. Oh, wouldn't that be fun!)
Ron. I never thought of Ron as a sex object, but damn, he's turning into one. I don't know why all the publicity stuff I saw for this movie made him look like ass without damn fine piece of in front of it.
The ladies of Beauxbatons. I loved the shot of their asses when they were entering the Great Hall. (I don't even like women, for fuck's sake.) Nice camerawork there, and those uniforms were disturbingly well-cut. Okay, they were on screen for, what, five whole seconds? That's more than the World Cup match (the actual match, not the prelims) got and how long does it take to look at badonkadonk**, anyway?
Snape. Given fandom's fascination there, I don't imagine that I need to do any damn explaining. I like him in the books and I like him even more when he's got Alan Rickman's voice.
Barty Crouch, Jr. What the hell? I didn't think he was even remotely appealing in the book. I can't explain this. Maybe it was the licky-thing, which appealed in a squicky sort of way. Possibly also the dark mark thing. I wish they made temporary dark-mark tattoos. I'd buy them.
Ginny Weasley. Still don't like women, but I can see the appeal from way over here in hetero-land.
Hermione. Turning exactly as nicely as I could possibly have hoped. Currently available in junior-miss size, the size you shouldn't want and know damn well you're not to have, but oh, it's lovely to look upon.
Cedric, mostly after he was a corpse. There isn't *really* anything wrong with thinking he was prettier dead, right? Right?
Our man Harry in the bath. It is WRONG (tm) for me to be checking out anything that age. Wrong. VERY wrong. I did it anyway. Yum!
The couch in the Gryffindor common room, which was featured as a substantial prop in one of the better Harry-n-Draco fics. I was so pleased to see it really existed that I spent several minutes of the film contemplating what the current Harry-n-Draco would look like arranged as per the fic in question.
*Like Zechs!
