There is now a full list of the topics to come here.
Trelawney vs. Firenze
This might just be one of the hardest HPMotW topics that I've had to face yet. In the books, I basically liked them the same. Trelawney seemed like a big old fraud and Firenze was a bit of a space-cadet. On the other hand, Trelawney is a nutty character that was fun to see and Firenze was exotic as a centaur teacher. Trelawney got pity out of me when the old toad lost her the job and Firenze got my pity with the other centaurs attacking him and kicking him out of his home. So if we are going based on the books, it's a tie. However in the movie, she was portrayed by Emma Thompson whom I adore so she got a little more love out of me merely for that. Her character on screen was so much fun.
Hmm, for some reason I don't rememeber them in the moveis.
ReplyDeleteAwwww I know how you feel. It took me awhile to decide between them, but Trelawney won out in the end! :)
ReplyDeleteThis IS a touch decision, Jaclyn. I asked me kids - they picked Firenze because "he's cool, really chill, a good astronomy teacher, he's good at divination because he's a centaur, and because he's a centaur!" Trelawney is "just mildly insane." LOL
