Would You Watch The Mortal Instruments TV Show?

Editorial, Fictional Characters, Television

The Hollywood Reporter announced that The Mortal Instruments will be renewed not as a movie sequel, but as a TV show (Image Source) So the question is: Would you watch The Mortal Instruments as a TV show? Our answer: Yes. Yes, we most certainly would. If Stargate: SG1 has proven anything, it’s that a TV series following a movie can actually out-do the movie itself. If Game of Thrones has proven anything, it’s that a book series translates better to the small screen rather than…

The First Law Series comes to an end with the incredible Last Argument of Kings.

Then in Before They Are Hanged we followed them through difficult peril over the vast reaches of the Union and beyond, well into the Old Empire. We got to see into the depths of their souls, and whether we…

Did JK Rowling Always Plan For Snape To Love Lily?

How Long Has This Been Going On?

Meanwhile, on Tumblr, someone took the time to solve the problem Professor Snape gave Harry Potter on the first day of class. I think the results will absolutely break your heart. I know it did ours.

How Long Has This Been Going On?

This is unbelievable, right? The thought that from the very beginning JK Rowling knew that Snape loved Harry’s mother brings on this whole new understanding for the way Snape treats Harry. He wasn’t just the difficult teacher and Rowling then adjusted Snape to fit the roll of the pining lover, but Snape was always pining after Lily. And he (and Rowling) had taken the time to put very serious clues into subtly revealing it.

For Potterheads, this is incredible. And heartbreaking. If Harry realized this riddle/problem at any point in his life, then no wonder he named his son after one of the greatest headmasters at Hogwarts. It’s a tribute to a formable foe yet friend.

Think on it Potterheads. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. You can at least blame the tears on something bothering your eyes.

Thanks to our friends Stuck with Harry Until The Very End for the image!

Open Your Ears To: Neverwhere Adaptation Review

Actors, Books, Editorial

We wrote on Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere before, and now that the Neverwhere adaptation has been released and we’ve had time to digest the content, we at Larkable have something to say about it. Usually this writer prefers actual audiobooks as opposed to adaptations, but this Neverwhere adaptation is unlike any other radio production you’ll hear. The stars of the BBC radio Neverwhere adaptation are James McAvoy (Young Professor Charles Xavier) and Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell). McAvoy gets to let loose with his full Scottish accent…

Which Character Are You?

Editorial, Fictional Characters, Other Stuff

Ever wonder if you’re the hero or the villain? Or just who exactly you are? Thanks to Tumblr, Google Images, and the Internet in general, now you can have a little better of an idea with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). (Image Source) So what is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator? The MBTI is a psychological questionnaire that helps categorize people into different personality types to help explain how people perceive the world. While you can’t put people into boxes, a personality usually fits quite nicely…
