| | |  Harry Potter considered a best high school flick
On the heels of their top picks for the 20 best fictional high schools (of which Hogwarts made the grade, of course), Entertainment Weekly has just published their list of the '50 Best High School Movies' of all time. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire came in at No. 36. Quote:
36. HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE (2005)
No, we haven't lost our minds. One of J.K. Rowling's ingenious ideas was to blend two literary traditions, fantasy and coming-through-school fiction (à la Tom Brown's School Days). That's particularly true in Goblet, which depicts 14-year-old Harry's heightened state of adolescent anxiety, about the big (Quidditch) game, about finding a date for the big dance, and about juggling homework while saving the wizard world from evil Lord Voldemort.
Thanks to Sugar Covered Quills for the tip! | |

i keep forgetting that its HP is set during highschool  , to me it doesnt feel like a highschool flick, rather its an adventure that just happens to take place in and around the school.

Hmm. I thought it would be OOTP. (:
Good choice though.
BTW, HBP trailer was AMAZING.
I'm still watching it. x]

Now i would have assumed that the teenage anger and angst of OOTP would have been the one! But okay, a sports theme fits.....high school - angst hormones and sports. Okay and studies too....

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I wish my school was like Hogwarts. Maybe all schools should be like Hogwarts, maybe kids would be a little more respectful to their teachers than they do now.

If I was going to Hogwarts I would have had a lot more nerve and stood up to alot more teachers. Once in SS (Social Studies) we had this sub-teacher and her name was like Ms. Carp or something like that and my friends and I were joking around the period after that and said it should be Ms. Cr*p and I saw her the next day (subing for my teach again) nd I called her that w/o realizing it and got 2 hrs of detetion! I would have loved Hogwarts ( I think the ymay have sent my application confirmation form to some one else by mistake!)
