Books & Authors - December 2006

How do the characters in the movie compared with the books size up for you? For instance, I thought professor Moody was too goofy looking, not scary. And I think that the ''new" Dumbledore is too harsh, not the kind, sweet Dumbledore I see in the novel.

There's this magical faerie in my back yard that's always sitting in the tree singing with an unnatural and mesmorizing voice. I see her outside through my window every morning softly gazing at me as she sings, but when I run out to see her, she is gone. No matter how hard I try, I cannot get close enough to her to tell her how I feel before she dissapears.
Any suggestions in how I can get her stay in the tree so I can talk to her?

Please answer only if you've read HBP. For some reason, i really trust Snape. And that's saying a lot for me, because i barely trust anyone in the real world, much less some apparently traitorous double-dealing man. So, why is it that i'm not only taken, but also unquestionably trusting of Snape?? Does anyone else feel this way as well? If so, why?

This has already been done before, but i can make it different.

Ok a group of elementary school kids (7 boys with weird nick-names, I know, already been done before) Find out that there might be some sort of treasure buried a long time ago, (that has already been done before).

But a story like that can always be different, you can come up with original riddles, but the riddles are really weird, like you have to do gross stuff, go to weird places and all.

I know I have to make this time-appropiate, if a treasure box was buried in 1600, chances are, the riddles wouldn't say "Go to the Video Game Store." For some reason there are 2 things to do to get to the treasure, ( I know, un-original), The boys, of course, split up, and don't become friends, and of course, like many stories, try and stop the other team from getting to it, (the boys don't want to share the treasure for some reason).

I have one question, if they were to do gross stuff in it, how could that be on clues?

You are writing about an actor and an actress(made up), they have the day off, they've been dating. The actor asks the actress why she picked the roles she played and how was that expressing a side of her and what is that side of her. They talk about each side and the actress asks the same of the actor.

What would you title the story? THanks

I think she is a gifted writer, although her books can be pretty depressing. I enjoyed The Rag Nymph the most. I've read probably five of her books. Can you recommend the least depressing ones to me? Thanks!
