He's covered in blood again. Why is he always covered in blood?

1. So I saw Half-Blood Prince at 12:01 back on Tuesday night, and I know fan opinion's been mixed, but I thought it was awesome. HBP was my favorite in the series (though depending on what mood I'm in, my favorite book is also Prisoner of Azkaban and on occasion, Deathly Hallows as well), and I thought it was adapted very well. I wasn't disappointed by any of the cuts (especially if the rumor that they're going to open the next film with Dumbledore's funeral turns out to be true), and I thought they nailed the crucial scenes (particularly the showdown with Dumbledore, Malfoy, and then Snape). And it was easily the best-acted of all six films, not to mention the funniest.

Without a doubt, my favorite part was the entire Felix Felicis sequence--Radcliffe was brilliant throughout. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. And then it just perfectly segued into the scene with Slughorn in Hagrid's Hut, and that was really well done too. Overall, I had reservations about David Yates after Order of the Phoenix (which I didn't enjoy half as well), but I'm really excited for the last two films now.

2. I finished my khr_undercover fic a few days ago! That's about as early as I've ever finished something that was on a deadline, which is actually kind of sad, lol. Anyway, now that it's done and all (and since I've discovered I have absolutely no motivation whatsoever to even try and edit it myself XD), I figure I should get this beta thing sorted out.

EDIT: Removed the info pertaining to the fic in a likely futile effort to avoid giving people anymore hints now that the guessing part of the challenge is getting underway. XD
