    Christmas

    in General Chat

    Posted

    I am going for hernia repair surgery on the 14th December, so I will need to take things a little easy this Christmas. The good thing about that though is that it means I have an extra long Christmas holiday from work and I am looking forward to an extended break, usually I would work right up until Christmas Eve but instead you will probably see me on here a lot more during this time. Hopefully I will be fit and well in time to go back to work in January.

     

    I love Christmas, we don't usually go away anywhere, it's the only time when really the whole family gets together, even my Grandad who is quite frail now, bless him, but he always livens things up and is good for a laugh. I love spending time with him. I love the food too, Christmas dinner is the best meal of the year and hopefully finished off with one or two drinks. All this comes complete with the Doctor Who Christmas Special, what more could I ask for? (except maybe Emma popping around to say hello? :P )

     

    Hope the operation goes alright for you pal. I'll indeed be working right up until Christmas eve!

    I, like everyone it seems, was taking in when seeing PoA. In the first 2 films I just thought the whole thing was amazing, I didn't really pay attention to any actor in particular as I was only about 10 back then, but I just loved it all. I did love the scenes with Emma in though, especially the "leviosah, not leviosarr" bit. The first time I remember taking quite an interest in the trio was when watching Newsround (BBC children's news) in about 2001/2002, just as they were filming CoS. They did a feature on how the trio were going through puberty and how they were changing quickly, and how that would look in the films. Me being an immature child still thought the idea of puberty was just hilarious, so I took great interest.

     

     

    It was not until PoA when I came out of the cinema just feeling utterly mesmerised by Hermione, and, in turn, Emma. I did a bit of googling of her, and found out what little info there was about her. I can't remember the first time I came across e-w.net, definitely not as early as most of you guys, but probably around 2006. I know that was when I signed up to Emma's official site; I think 2006 was when the official site came out. I didn't sign up to the forums until the end of 08/beginning of 09 I think, as it was never really my thing back then.

     

    It's great to see so many Emma fans around here. Most people seem to know Hermione, but not the great girl behind it all. At least in the past couple of years that's started to change.

    American Accent

    I remember that interview, that is sort of thing I was getting at when I said that some Americans seem to seem to drag words out.

     

    You can see that interview here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol_eWgxIGCE (also available on emma-watson.net to download)

     

     

    I think the opposite :P

     

    When I say Watson I use the font of my mouth, as opposed to my own name 'Hughes', that's with the back of my mouth.

     

    Yeh I'd agree, it's definitely from the front of the mouth.

     

     

    One place where this thread should go is Americans should post voice clips of their 'British' accents, and vice versa. Anyone not from the US/UK could try both. I'm not going first though... :lol:

    There is a quote from Emma that sometimes pops up on the homepage where Emma makes a good observation. When Americans say "Watson", you seem to make it sound like "Waaaaatson". That's the one of the big differences I reckon.

    I also love picking up on those sorts of things when seeing it a second or a third time. I'm not sure when I will go to see it again yet, I want to go this weekend but might give it a few weeks for the hype to die down a little and watch it in peace.

     

    I was considering doing that, maybe go on Christmas eve or something, then the Godric's Hollow scene will make me feel nice and festive.

    After a 2nd viewing, I love picking up on the little stuff you miss the first time round. Why George has a toothbrush in his ear i'll never know. I also loved the scene outside Umbridge's office in the ministry, where Harry let off those little walking things with horns on. They were so good!

     

    edit: just remembered they're called decoy detonators!

    I love tennis. Haven't played much this year due to exams but i'll start again next year. I've been to Wimbledon as well, which was pretty fun. (Emma has also been to Wimbledon :) )
