NURI! Call me at work too. I'm bored.

What would we talk about? You might be less bored if I didn't.

All six Harry Potter books basically play out the same way. Harry’s life is in danger, but we don’t know exactly from whom or why. It is left to Harry and Ron and Hermione to piece together clues. Harry keeps warning and worrying about Voldemort and his agents, who seem to be gaining powet. Other, even nominally beneficent, adults seem skeptical of Harry at best, making them into suspects.

I got this from Livejournal, and it has a point. Why is it that the basic plot of Harry Potter books seem to ALWAYS go along a standard formula?

1) Harry has trouble with uncle and aunt and gets rescued/goes to school
2) school goes normally for a while
3) Harry's life is threatened
4) Bad shit happens, everyone thinks Harry did it
5) Even though the school's filled with powerful wizards, they all seem powerless to stop whatever bad things that are happening, so it's up to our trio to save the day.
6) Harry finds out it's some agent of Voldemort, fights him, wins, saves the day, becomes the hero, wins Quidditch, wins the most points for Griffindor, goes home happy, only to repeat the cycle anew the next damn book.

Yea, how original, I'm sure.

Most serials tend to follow a basic formula, I'm sure. And in this instance.... *MILD SPOILER*

Harry doesn't really win. He just escapes with his life.

It's to keep an aire of familar around. Plus the plug and play method actually makes writing it easier I'm sure.

You could talk about anime that I don't watch and I could talk about video games you don't play and toys you don't care about.

You could call me at work... With my Verizon Agent line, long distance and minutes used are a complete non-issue.

There you go!

Harry Potter looks like Elijah Wood!
meaning I would do him. IF hes older than 18 of course, I don't want to pull a doug here

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #43 on:** Nov 28, 2005, 01:29:10 PM »

I wouldn't want you to pull on him, either.

B E C K · « **Reply #44 on:** Nov 28, 2005, 07:33:47 PM »

I hope Dan Radcliffe doesn't get as creepy looking as Elijah Wood. It was all downhill from "North" for that guy.... In LOTR he creeped me out almost as much as Smegol and that one ugly orc in ROTK.

Howzabout Frodo's role as the smiling murder-death-killer in Sin City?

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #47 on:** Nov 29, 2005, 03:35:18 PM »

gave him a "mystical "aura HAHAH

B E C K · « **Reply #48 on:** Nov 29, 2005, 10:22:27 PM »

I haven't seen Sin City.

tomduo · « **Reply #49 on:** Nov 30, 2005, 01:45:51 PM »

Frodo ate Nekid Carla Gugino's hand. She has nice tits.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #50 on:** Dec 01, 2005, 09:49:00 AM »

I figured that's what he would have eaten next.

tomduo · « **Reply #51 on:** Dec 01, 2005, 11:37:43 AM »

I would have.

Sam · « **Reply #52 on:** Dec 01, 2005, 11:41:25 AM »

I'm still waiting for my call.

tomduo · « **Reply #53 on:** Dec 01, 2005, 11:42:31 AM »

Maybe you should post here more.

B E C K · « **Reply #54 on:** Dec 01, 2005, 10:51:21 PM »

Maybe you should give me your number? :mellow:
