Vaguely weird GoF Q.

[heidi]

Does she show up again after the Yule Ball?
Because I don't remember if she does, and wouldn't it solve, and cause, problems with Film 5 if the beetle Maxime ate from Hagrid's beard actually was Rita?

See? I said it was weird.

I can't remember but I must say the idea has tickled me like whoa. Thank you, because that scene grossed me out so much and this idea makes it bearable to think about, at least. :-)

I love the fact that eating a human turned into a bug grosses you out less than simply eating a bug. *grin*

LOL! I didn't think of it that way, but you're absolutely right, that is very weird. *dies*

Yes, she's in the stands after Harry and Cedric come back, according to my friend.

Yeah, she's there at the very end. I remember wondering what the heck they were going to do about that for the next film.

IIRC, Rita is shown in the stands during the Third Task -- but I like your spin on things. :-)

I honestly don't see why Rita was even included in the film considering how much of her role was cut. There's no reason she has to be in OotP, either. The interview part of the plot could be very quickly expedited if it's just Luna's dad who interviews him for the Quibbler. No need for Rita to be blackmailed by Hermione, no additional plot complication. :)

SHe was also in the stands after the second task, taking notes and wearing something bright blue. I noted that because I remember thinking "She's supposed to be a beetle in the scene."

You are a very, very sick, sick woman, lol.

I hope it wasn't Rita because Rita was TEH SEX.

...a love triangle...


Of course it's not! It's a square! : points to icon and grins

Yes, so Viktor could give her the brush-off!

I haven't managed to see the vid, but I did see the 300 or so screencaps, and that was the nicest one of the two of them. And he was so enthusiastic about the idea of dancing with her, too, which was just sweet. And I'd buy Neville as another corner in the boks, but in the movie, he's clearly interested in Ginny and not Hermione, and they're just yummy together. I wish I knew what JKR has against Neville - he doesn't get Ginny or Luna, and he merits severe joy and happiness, the woobie.

Sorry to say it, but no, it's JKR herself.

Rumours
Luna and Neville will hook up in HP&THBP

The Luna/Neville shippers are much less vehement and scary than the Harry/Hermione, Ron/Hermione tribes, so I hope I won’t receive too much hate mail for quashing this rumour. I see Neville and Luna as very different kinds of people and while they share a certain isolation within Hogwarts, I don’t think that’s enough to foster true love - friendship, perhaps, although I think that Neville would always find Luna’s wilder flights of fancy alarming.
