Delight-free

Sorry, no delights the last few days, unless you count my delight at seeing the new Fantastic Beasts trailer. OMG, it looks like it's going to be so cool, with its American magical sensibilities, its period costumes, and the beauteous Eddie Tremayne carrying a case full of mysterious beings ...

I was surprised at the 'meh' reactions I heard yesterday. It was just a teaser trailer, people, enough to whet your appetite for the movie, for new situations and characters within the JKRverse. I mean, the silly thing isn't coming out until November 2016. They can't reveal too much, too soon--it would kill the sense of anticipation. And it would step all over the build-up to 'The Force Awakens.' Obviously, there's professional courtesy between movie studios at work here.

No, I don't know what I'm on about either.

Stupid Report is kicking my ass. Groom and I are Christmas-bickering. Send hugs.

The trailer makes my heart go all pitter-pat with wizarding world love! I'm not sure I'll go all fannish over this as with the books (I mean with fic and such), but I'm going to enjoy the hell out of those movies, oh yes. The latest expansions of JKR's universe just hit an uncritically gleeful spot in my brain - I can't help it. And I love all the HP magical creatures lore anyway; it's one of my favourite parts of JKR's world-building.

I hope you and the groom will make peace soon! Holiday stress sure doesn't help on marital harmony. *sends hugs*

We made peace. We've been married too long to boggle about the little things--at least not for long.

Very excited about the upcoming movie!
