Alfonso Cuaron, we know better than you!!
Good God, HP Fandom! Aren't you tired yet?

It looks as if the "Sidekicks", a group of rabid Ron/Hermione shippers have started a petition to make sure that Prisoner of Azkaban Director Alfonso Cuaron doesn't cut the all important Ron/Hermione hug from the movie.

They are worried. My God, what will happen if Ron and Hermione don't hug? Then we'd be left with nothing but an action packed movie by one of the best directors around.

Yes, lets make a huge petition to make the director leave in the hug. I'm sure that will change his mind. He should know better then to defy the nutty shippers.

Best line: We, the undersigned, petition the Executive Production team of 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' to keep this lovely moment, "The Hug", in the movie, thus retaining the dramatic narrative as portrayed in JK Rowling's fantastic book intact, and vastly increasing our enjoyment of the finished article.

*chokes by laughing too hard*

HP Fandom, why aren't you taking your Prozac??

Psst. Alfonso Cuaron.

Petitions are worthless.

Yeah, I risk jurisimprudence rule-breaking with this, but I can't help thinking: "You, all of you! PLEASE, for the love of all that's good and holy, it isn't that freaking important."

Would it suck if one of your favorite moments in a book got cut out of a movie version? Yeah, it would.

But would you live to see another day if it were cut out, and is it worth getting worked up into an unholy lather about?


Cripes, if you must freak the fuck out about something like this, just go the LotR route and bash the film after it's done. I'm sure you can send away for a Movie Vs. Book Wank Starter Kit. The mantles of superiority are apparently quite slimming. ;)

What I want to see is, if they keep "The Hug" in, when they all start patting themselves on the back talking about how they "saved" the movie.

ANOTHER pseudoprotest against Alfonso Cuaron?
Don't get me started on this. My first reaction when he was announced as the POA director was of absolute joy -he's a great filmaker, I love his films and...eh... is Mexican, just like me.
But after months and months of Cuaron bashing, I am willing to declare POA as the greatest movie ever made, even if it sucks and just because. I can't remember if fans were so wanky during the COS and PS movies.

Besides, Ron/Hermione's is not the *important* hug in the book. (*innocent gaze*)

Oh good grief. Mr. Cuaron tried filming with the hug. He tried without it. He originally intended to put it in, and if he doesn't, guess what? It will be because it didn't work, or he plain old ran out of time.

I'd love to see it kept in - especially thinking of the huge 'awww' that the non-hug in Chamber of Secrets got - but I'm not signing a sodding petition. Mr. Cuaron was hired to do a job. Let the man do it!

Okay this just proves that some people have nothing else better to do than be a pain in the butt. I mean COME ON, it's a hug.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a major HP fan myself, but they just can't fit everything from the book into the movie, otherwise we'd all be sitting in the theater for hours and hours.

Why are people so crazy about things like this!?!

Cool. I'm an H/D shipper, so clearly I will be writing a petition demanding that the Quidditch game is kept to the narrative, in which they're 'so close their knees kept knocking together'. Because, as we all know, there is nothing that can't be accomplished with a petition. Power to the people!11
ETA: I'm also a Ron/Scabbers shipper, so they just better keep in 'I let you sleep in my bed!' or else my enjoyment of the finished article will be vastly decreased!
