This scene will forever be the most important scene in any movie to me. This is a little girl who has been told all her life by her parents that she is a mistake and that she is worthless. This is a little girl whose family life is so horrible that books are her only escape. This is a little girl whose parents constantly belittle her for reading, the only pleasure in life she has. And in this scene, this little girl answers very shyly, because she has been conditioned to be embarrassed of her own existence. At first, she answers slowly, and without making eye contact. And in this scene this little girl is beginning to realize that maybe she is special. Maybe there are kind people in the world. Maybe she is worth something.
what would happen if you were too tall for the invisibility cloak though?
i bet hagrid used it one halloween to dress up as the headless horseman and scare some kids
you’d have to be taller than Death. how tall is Death? ask the Discworld fans
Death is 1.6 Rincewinds tall, except when he’s taller. Or shorter.
He sagged to his knees. He ached all over. It wasn’t just that his brain was writing cheques that his body couldn’t cash. It had gone beyond that. Now his feet were borrowing money that his legs hadn’t got, and his back muscles were looking for loose change under the sofa cushions.
Terry Pratchett - The Fifth Elephant (via terrypratchettparadise)
When Shakespeare popularized a form of sonnet that differed structurally from the earlier Italian sonnet, was he smashing the Petrarch-y?
