Some things should never change, and Harry Potter fandom is one of them

Oh my, it looks like we'll have to batten down the wank hatches when the last Harry Potter movie comes out later this year. Well, more so than any other development in HP fandom.

Why? Because they are changing Snape's death scene from the book. To make it more "romantic" apparently.

...Yeah, don't ask me. I just know I look forward to seeing what this does to the Snapefen. I must pre-emptively prepare popcorn.

In other news, Japanese scientists are working on cloning a wooly mammoth. Which is like the first step towards Jurassic Park, methinks.

And check out this dude playing the Doctor Who theme on musical Tesla coils.

To be honest, I think Snape's death in the book is very badly written and I do see this final film as the last chance to fix JK's myriad structural mistakes. I don't want them to save people who died in the book or anything like that, but Snape dies in a terribly anti-climactic way in the book and the character deserved better. Hell, the emotional part comes later when Dumbledore explains the entire backstory again (!!!) and we get to know Snape's actual role in everything. If the film can fix this in some way, I have no argument.

I just don't want them to go the other way and make it like the Snapefen want, which is to make Snape's death The Most Important Thing Ever To Happen, complete with weeping crowds and whatnot.

I'm positive it won't go that far, but I think Snape got short shrift in the books - especially the final one.

I think I've just seen too much whining from certain Snapefen about how dare those darn Harry Potter books be about Harry Potter.
