Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare
And full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff.
So teach us stuff worth knowing,
Bring back what we forgot,
Just do your best
We'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot!



1: The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2: Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3: There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4: Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5: Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6: His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7: The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8: The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9: The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10: More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11: Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12: Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13: Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Looks like it could be better than the last one ... but theb trailers are now a an art form distinct from the actual movie itself ... you can build a good trailer out of a junk movie ... eg the Star Wars Prequels. In some places

If it is to be better than the last then they have to get past the Hogwarts' playground acid feel of # 4 that felt like everything at the castle and grounds (epsecially the grounds ... and the graveyard) felt like it was shot on a side sound stage and then "laced" with a bunch of pyro-technich/cg graphics ... which the city shots from the trailer look like they at least get past some of that ... kinda feels a little bit Matrixy or something like that

Like I've stated before, and IMHO, these movies are all rushed into production compared to the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings intepretation and other "matured" treatments of fantasy literature. I like certain scenes and loathe others. I've come to see the movies as a collection of scenes from the books rather than cohesive as a whole story; that has enabled me to give the movies good marks by ignoring their most hideous aspects.

I thought it was coming out in December. Shoot that sucks.

Not off topic but how old can your kids be before they can start on the books?

 

Blogger Pauli said ... (December 01, 2006 4:58 PM) : 

I would say probably between 6 and 8 depending on the kid.
