Harry Potter swap - finished!

[cloverofmist]

I have never read the books so I prefer the movies..

When descriptions from the book don't match the presentations in the movies, which do you prefer to see on your pony?

Hm... I guess it would depend specifically on the thing. I don't think I put too many things on my list that would be that different. When it comes to actual plot and characters I prefer staying true to the books, but I think the movies did a great job with the visual representation of the HP world.

Fave movie: Chamber of Secrets (I <3 Lucius in that one, but I hate the spiders!). I also love the first film even though the centaurs make me pull my hair out just because it's so fun kind of being reintroduced to everyone. (My favorite book is the 3rd but it's my least favorite movie because the director SUCKED.)

Movie vs. book accuracy: It just depends. I like the black/blue Ravenclaw from the later movies, but I like the book's version of the centaurs. I usually lean towards movie though. I think...

Pony update: In a rare couple of efficient days I got a bunch of sculpting done. I was lucky enough to have the bait I needed. If it comes together really quickly I may make a second pony (no sculpting needed on that one) just because it was so hard to decide between the 2 ideas I drew up and I want to make it!)

What is everyone's favorite book? Mine is hands down Goblet of Fire as that is when the story really "grew up" in my opinion and sooooo much happened in it.

Favorite movie: DH1 as it is the only movie that really followed the book.

I am very...uptight about the movies in comparison to the books as my first taste to the entire series was the movies and I was not all that impressed, but once I read the books (Started after Half-Blood Prince came out) I was in love. And the butchering of the fourth movie... I literally can not watch that movie anymore as so much was taken from it and just...no. /end mini rant.

Glitter: Yes, but don't over do it.
Metallic: Same as with glitter.
Flocking: No thank you.
Gloss or Matte: I prefer a matte finish

Forgot to answer the questions

I prefer the books, but I can live with the movie versions, too. The movies did pretty good job on visualizing the books, so for this swap go ahead and use them as an inspiration if you haven't read the books.

Fav movie?
Hard one. I guess everything after the three first movies, the first three were a pain to watch through for me... It was a shame as Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book.

Movie vs Book: I haven't read the books since highschool (6ish years). I would prefer the movies
I'm waiting on my bait :p

I won't throw fakies at you But you will LOVE them. So MUCH happens in the books that doesn't in the movies. They left out whole characters! I keep wanting to read the UK versions of the books. I saw a list of the terms they changed to publish the US versions and I was shocked! i.e. torch for flashlight etc...

Question: You are a Hogwarts student and it's a sunny Saturday afternoon  (and all of your homework is done). Where would we likely find you?

I'm thinking I'd be in the library anyway, dueling other Ravenclaws in the Transfiguration courtyard (anyone else play HP on XBox?) or pestering the ghosts asking them about themselves and their lives.

Bit late to the question-answering party, but here goes: 

Styling Size:  No objections here.
Glitter:  As long as it's not flaky and making a mess, I'm cool with it.
Metallic:  Sure.
Plain/Matte:  Also fine.
Flocking:  Not too fond of this, to be honest.
Books or Movies:  Either for 1-6, but I could never finish the 7th book, so I'd prefer the movies in that one's case.
Phrases:  Either context is fine.  I actually can't think of anywhere this one would apply, as far as what I like in the series.
Where would I be:  Probably just wandering the halls, admiring the architecture, and looking for secret passages and shortcuts.  I used to love doing that in the video games, as well as messing with the prefects at night.

Did I miss anything...?

THIS! Admittedly I have seen the movies more, because its easy.
But I have read the series at least 10 times...and I swear every time I re-read them, I fall in love with the details all over again <3
the HP book flowers are awesome!!
and I have a few shots of the wedding decor!
The table decor! The tops of the jars each had a different HP book art on it  (cauldron idea from nodivision)

Those pics are awesome Jupi! How big were the chocolate frogs?

For those who read the books, which is your favorite?

Also, has anyone here been to the Harry Potter world at Universal Studios? I really want to go, but I want to know how it is and if it is really as awesome as it looks.
