On taking home the first ever Quill Book of the Year Award...
"I am still not used to the idea that so many people across the world are intimately familiar with the characters who, for so long, I alone knew. Awards like this, where readers themselves vote, are therefore especially meaningful to me." |

What if the plethora of Goblet of Fire pictures recently released could be rearranged to tell a different story? For instance, assume you’ve never read Goblet of Fire or any other HP story (and yet you magically know the character names…). What would you surmise from the photos? Perhaps you’d think Harry and Hermione were in love, given several of the photos depicting the two of them together. They look all lovey-dovey, gushy-mushy. In one particular photo, Hermione is wide-eyed, lips slightly pursed. Taken out of context of the film, you might think the two of them were not only carrying on a relationship, but in “secret” as well (wink wink).
Another “story” you could glean from the photos could possibly be the many men of Minerva McGonagall (say it with me: ew!). Seen in one with Ron and in another with Snape, you could easily wonder what her purpose is. One stony-faced photo might make you think she’s jealous of someone (Hermione with Harry?). Hmmm… Just what is Minerva McGonagall up to? And how about those Triwizard champions? What kind of story could you construe from the multitude of photos depicting Harry, Cedric, Krum and Fleur? Well, for Krum, perhaps you could assume he’s colorblind. Brown seems to be his favorite color (and yes – I know it’s a uniform – work with me here!). Given his rather drab taste in clothes, let’s hope he never gets together with Fleur – she of the baby blue. Brown plus blue equal ew. Wait, wait, wait… Let’s not forget our dear Cedric – he of the yellow and black (shoo bumblebee). He couldn’t go with Miss Delacour either. Yellow and black plus blue… My eyes hurt at the very thought. Harry, of course, is with Hermione anyway and thank goodness for that. (Hmm? Delusional? What?) Not only does pastel blue not go with red and gold (note to Fleur: pastel blue doesn’t go with ANYTHING), but Fleur’s face is simply too pointy for Harry. She’d end up hugging him and slicing his throat with her sharp nose. (Mmm? Judgmental? Me? Naw…) The Tasks look interesting… Out of context, it would appear that the Triwizard champions get burned, go swimming and get lost. (Ha ha! Get lost, Harry! … What, I’m only joking, geez.) So why do I think they get lost? There are quite a few pictures of spacy-eyed gazes, looking behind the shoulder and tall, green plants. Lots of interesting stories to be surmised from the pictures. All this out of context theorizing about the pictures make me want to watch the movie. So I’m waiting. And waiting… Yep, still waiting. |
