Lisa Michelle (LisaMichelleAckles)

The one that started it all and one of the best. Looking back on this they all looked so young and it shows. When you watch this and then the latest of the Half-Blood Prince you can see how much Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton and all of the other young cast have matured. I love it. Truly a great start and loyal to the book, minus Peeves of course. I've always wished that Peeves was in the films, shame really, he's hilarious in the books!!!

The best lines (in no particular order):

Hagrid: "Who told you about Fluffy?"
Ron: "Fluffy?"
Hermione: "That thing has a name?"

Ron: "It's spooky! She knows more about you than you do!"
Harry: "Who doesn't?"

Mr. Ollivander: "Curious... very curious..."
Harry: "Sorry, but what's curious?" Mr. Ollivander: "I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter. It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather resides in your wand gave another feather... just one other. It is curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar."
Harry: "And who owned that wand?"
Mr. Ollivander: "We do not speak his name! The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter. It's not always clear why. But I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you. After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things. Terrible! Yes. But great."

Hermione: "Now if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed - or worse, expelled."
Ron: "She needs to sort out her priorities!"

Hermione: "Stop moving, both of you. This is devil's snare! You have to relax. If you don't, it'll only kill you faster!"
Ron: "Kill us faster? Oh, now I can relax!"
Hermione: [after Hermione and Harry sink in the Devil's Snare, Ron is still panicking] "He's not relaxing, is he?"
Harry: "Apparently not."
Hermione: "I've gotta do something!"
Harry: "What?"
Hermione: "Oh, I remember reading something in herbology... um..."
Ron: "Hel-!"
Hermione: "Devil's Snare, Devil's Snare..."It's deadly fun, but will sulk in the sun!" That's it! Devil's Snare hates sunlight! Lumos Solem!"
[she conjures a type of sunlight from her wand & Ron falls to the ground below]
Harry: "Ron, you okay?"
Ron: "Yeah."
Harry: "Okay."
Ron: [sigh] "Lucky we didn't panic."
Harry: "Lucky Hermione pays attention in herbology."

Hagrid: "You're a wizard, Harry!"
Harry: "I'm a what?"

[about Every Flavor Beans]
Dumbledore: "I was most unfortunate in my youth to come across a vomit-flavored one, and since then I'm afraid I've lost my liking for them. But, I think I could be safe with a nice toffee."
[eats it]
Dumbledore: "Mm, alas, earwax."

Hermione: "Neville, I'm really, really sorry about this."
[raises her wand]
Hermione: "Petrificus Totalus!"
[Neville's arms snap to his sides, and he drops to the floor, frozen stiff as a board]
Ron: "You're a little scary sometimes, you know that? Brilliant... but scary."

Seamus: "I'm half and half. Me dad's a muggle, Mam's a witch. Bit of a nasty shock for him when he found out."

Ron: "I'm Ron by the way, Ron Weasley."
Harry: "I'm Harry. Harry Potter."
Ron: "So... so it's true! I mean, do you really have the... the..."
Harry: "The what?"
Ron: "The scar?"
Harry: "Oh."
[shows him the scar on his forehead]
Harry: "Yeah."
Ron: "Wicked!"

Ron: "What do they think they're doing, keeping a thing like that locked up in a school?"
Hermione: "You don't use your eyes, do you? Didn't you see what it was standing on?"
Ron: "I wasn't looking at its feet! I was a bit preoccupied with its heads... or maybe you didn't notice? There were three!"

[looking at a recently-hatched dragon]
Hagrid: "Isn't he beautiful? Oh, bless him! Look! He knows his mummy! Hallo, Norbert!"
Harry: "Norbert?"
Hagrid: "Yeah, well, he's gotta have a name, don't he?"

Ron: "Mental that one, I'm telling you."

Ron: "Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow!"

Fred: "Well done, Harry. Wood's just told us."
Ron: "Fred and George are on the team, too. Beaters."
George: "Our job is to make sure that you don't get bloodied up too bad. Can't make any promises, of course. Rough game, Quidditch.
Fred: "Brutal, but no one's died in years. Someone will vanish occasionally, but they'll turn up in a month or two!"

Hagrid: "If that dolt of a cousin of yours, Dudley, gives you any grief, you could always, um, threaten him with a nice pair of ears to go with that tail of his."
Harry: "But, Hagrid, we're not allowed to do magic away from Hogwarts. You know that."
Hagrid: "I do, but your cousin don't, do he?"

Hermione: "Feels strange to be going home, doesn't it?"
Harry: [looking at Hagrid] "I'm not going home. Not really."


My Actor/Actress review:

I will always love all of the Harry Potter cast, they were all cast so perfectly!!! Daniel, Rupert and Emma are the perfect Harry, Ron and Hermione!!!

My favorite of the Harry Potter films. It's the one i've seen the most, i've lost count. It used to be my favorite of the books too until The Deathly Hallows came out, so maybe when the film came out it will replace this as my favorite.

The best lines (in no particular order):

Ron: "Why spiders? Why couldn't it be "follow the butterflies"?"

Ron: "Follow the spiders? Follow the spiders? If Hagrid ever gets out of Azkaban, I'll kill him! I mean, what was the point of sending us in there? What have we found out?"
Harry: "We know one thing. Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets. He was innocent."

Lucius Malfoy: "Mr. Potter! Lucius Malfoy. We meet at last. Forgive me, your scar is legend. As, of course, is the wizard who gave it to you."
Harry: "Voldemort killed my parents. He was nothing more than a murderer."
Lucius Malfoy: You must be very brave to mention his name. Or very foolish."
Hermione: "Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself."
Lucius Malfoy: "And you must be Miss Granger. Yes, Draco's told me all about you. And your parents. Muggles, aren't they? Let me see. Red hair... vacant expressions... tatty second hand book... you must be the Weasleys."

Malfoy: [to Harry, disguised as Goyle] "Why are you wearing glasses?"
Goyle: "Oh, uh... reading."
Draco Malfoy: "Reading? I didn't know you could read."

Gilderoy Lockhart: [whilst flying out of the Chamber of Secrets with Fawkes, Harry, Ron, and Ginny] "AMAZING! This is just like magic!"

Harry: "Promise me something."
Dobby: "Anything, sir."
Harry: "Never try to save my life again."

Gilderoy Lockhart: "Hello. Who are you?"
Ron: "Um... Ron Weasley."
Gilderoy Lockhart: "Really! And,uh, wh-who am I?"
Ron: "Lockhart's memory charm backfired! He hasn't got a clue who he is!"
Gilderoy Lockhart: "It's an odd sort of place, this, isn't it? Do you live here?"
Ron: "No."
Gilderoy Lockhart: "Really?"
[knocks Lockhart unconscious with a rock]

Moaning Myrtle: "Oh, Harry? If you die down there, you're welcome to share my toilet."
Harry: "Uh... thanks, Myrtle."

Hermione: "He called me a mudblood."
Hagrid: "He did not!"
Harry: "What's a mudblood?"
Hermione: "It means dirty blood. Mudblood's a really foul name for someone who's muggle born. Someone with non-magic parents. Someone like me. It's not a term one usually hears in civilized conversation."
Hagrid: "See the thing is, Harry, there's some wizards, like the Malfoy family, who think they're better than everyone else because they're what people call "pure blood."
Harry: "That's horrible!"
Ron: [burps up another slug] "It's disgusting."
Hagrid: "And it's codswallop to boot. "Dirty blood." Why, there isn't a wizard alive today that's not half-blood or less. More to the point, they've yet to think of a spell that our Hermione can't do. Come 'ere. Don't you think on it, Hermione. Don't you think on it for one minute."

Dumbledore: "You both realize, of course, that in the past few hours you have broken perhaps a dozen school rules."
Harry & Ron: "Yes, sir."
Dumbledore: "And that there is sufficient evidence to have you both expelled."
Harry & Ron: "Yes, sir."
Dumbledore: "Therefore, it is only fitting that you both receive..."
[beams]
Dumbledore: "Special awards for services to the school."

Ron: "Can we panic now?"

Arthur: "Now, Harry you must know all about Muggles, tell me, what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?"
Ron: "Dad loves muggles. Thinks they're fascinating."

Lucius Malfoy: "Let us hope that Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day."
Harry: "Don't worry. I will be."

Ginny: "Mummy, have you seen my jumper?"
Molly: "Yes dear, it was on the cat."

Molly: "Now don't forget to speak very, very clearly."
Harry: "Diagonally."
[Harry vanishes]
Molly: "What did he say dear?"
Arthur: "Diagonally."
Molly: "I thought he did."

[after Harry pushes him down into the Chamber]
Gilderoy Lockhart: "It's really quite filthy down here."

[after Crabbe and Goyle eat the floating Sleeping Draught cupcakes]
Ron: "How thick could you get?"

Ron: "Have you spoken to Hermione?"
Harry: "She should be out of hospital in a few days... when she stops coughing up fur balls."

Moaning Myrtle: "Here I am, minding my own business, and someone thinks it's funny to throw a book at me."
Ron: "But, it can't hurt if someone throws something at you. I mean, it would just go right through you."
Moaning Myrtle: [swooping down towards Ron] "Sure! Let's all throw books at Myrtle, because she can't feel it! Ten points if you get it through her stomach!"
[punches Ron in the stomach]
Moaning Myrtle: "Fifty points if it goes through her head!"
[punches Ron in the head]

Harry Potter: "It's alright Ginny, It's over. It's just a memory."

[last lines]
Hagrid: "I'd just like to say that, if it hadn't been for you Harry, and Ron and Hermione of course, I would... I'd still be You-Know-Where. So I'd just like to say thanks."
Harry: "There's no Hogwarts without you, Hagrid."
(Harry hugs Hagrid)


My Actor/Actress review:

Love them all!!! Always will!!!

Mamma Mia! is an all time favorite film of mine. I saw it 5 times at the cinema as it was just that good. I loved all the singing and dacning and with already being an ABBA fan i knew all the words and could sing along! Everytime i saw it at the cinema it had everyone singing along and some were even dancing in their seats! It's a feel-good movie for the whole family to enjoy and watch together. It's a film that you never get sick of seeing and can watch it over and over and enjoy it even more!!! My favorite dance scene in the whole film is Dancing Queen as it pratically had nearly all the extras from the film involved and singing on the board walk down by the ocean was a perfect finish to the song. I also loved Honey Honey, Lay All Your Love On Me, Does Your Mother Know & Waterloo. The entire film is hilarious and so romantic at the same time. I can't wait for the sequel!!!

This is the best Terminator film to date. Well...it is to me anyway!!! I never expected it to be as good as it was. I thought Christian Bale did a fantastic job as portraying the adult John Connor and Bryce Dallas Howard did a star turn as his wife Kate. I especially liked the addition of Sam Worthington who played Marcus Wright. I loved that he was a terminator who didn't know he was a Terminator, and yet when he did find out he did everything he could to help John save the world, even giving him his own heart at the end to save his life so that John could continue his work wth the Resistance. I can't wait for the next one, as Christian Bale signed on for 2 more sequels, so i really hope they do another one!!!
