@ForgedReality, it is very much a "girl next door" thing. Maybe that's why people make what seems to me to be assumptions about her personality, she looks friendly, approachable and fun; but then her job is to look like something she's not. I find the girl next door look to be much more enduringly attractive than Angelina Jolie type drop dead gorgeous, but it is just a look. Calling this look cute rather than hot makes sense, but it's sexy cute. My 10 week old kitten is cute but that's a very different cute to Emma Watson!

I'm not sure what you mean with regard to @Kofi. I think he meant that men who grew up with the films and were around 12 years old when she was 12, so that's a fair enough crush - but now, as a 20 year old, they watch the first Harry Potter movie and those feelings are gone and they're left with a little girl who's cute like my kitten, not like adult Emma.

>> ^Kofi:

I get the feeling that if you grew up with the Harry Potter paradigm then she was someone you had a crush on. Now that she is grown up it's legitimate to sexualize her. No doubt she is pretty but she still seems like a 12 year old to me. Cute, yes. Sexy? Nope.

I didn't grow up with it--I lived through the entire 80s and 90s. I have never seen a single Harry Potter anything and I have no desire to do so. I don't find her "sexy" or "attractive" or "cute" or anything like that, and suggesting that someone would dig on underage chicks says a lot more about you than it does about the person you're accusing of such a thing.

I think she's very hot (and I haven't seen any Harry Potter films and don't have any weird under-age mental images) but the 'net's opinion of her seems nutty. Why do people think she's any less vacuous or self centred than anyone else? I can't help but feel that it's at least 90% because they find her attractive, which is ironically vacuous.

She is slightly pretty, but hot? I'll have to disagree with you there. Her hairy upper lip doesn't really do it for me. I find her rather average. Maybe it's the "girl next door" thing she has going on that get some guys feeling all tingly. No idea.

>> ^ForgedReality:

I honestly don't understand the big deal about her...

Woah, it's Harry Potter.

This just made me see red when I fist saw it. I have always loved books and reading. I used to get most of my reading from the library, and if I fell in love with the book, I bought it.

Unfortunaterly most of my books are paperback. They do feel cheap and are uncomfortable to read, especially if they are thick. If I get a hardcover book, I either really, REALLY loved it (like my 'Lord of the Rings' set, back in the 80's), or I was eager to read it and didn't want to wait for the softcover (I admit, Harry Potters, Sookie Stackhouse and Hunger Games are some of the series that I have hardcover books).

Anyway! If you are not going to read your book more than once, get it from the library, or buy softcover. Do not buy hardcovers and then have so little of respect for them that you can just chop them up to be a storage box.

Maybe Lauren Conrad is rich enough to just buy whatever she wants and toss it away after one use. I hope not.

Books are precious.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

If memory serves, in the original they also had the help of professional potter and dancer, Mr. Patrick Swayze.>> ^BagOTricks:

Making him a Marine undercuts the whole goddamn movie. The whole point was that it was a group of highschool students whose only experience had been some hunting and trapping in the surrounding area. Way to miss the point Hollywood. Fuck this movie.

I seem to recall that a potter, creating a pot would inadvertently transfer any vibrations- speech etc- through his fingers to the rings created whilst working, and that these could be "played back." Imagine being able to listen to someone discussing life in, say, ancient Rome, Greece, etc. I only hope I didn't just dream this.
