izmeinaIzzie was chatting with a fellow Serpent recently and got to drooooling over the masterful casting of Alan Rickman as Professor Snape (Which she did not like at all at all)
Izzie's favorite scene in ALL the movies - including the latest -is still the Grand Entrance of the Potions Master which is positively Poetic and in Izzie's eyes quite Shakespearean in tone. (A certain Friar possessing knowledge of the powers of some interesting poisonous plants comes to mind.)
And sure enough - this very same sagacious serpent (by the name of Nagini Black) has also sought inspiration with the Bard. Yet again Romeo and Juliet and found some fascinating snippets remarkably reminiscent of ...shall we say - a certain Prophecy.
Deja vu! Yesss. Iz did have the feeling it sounded sort of familiar but would never have dreamed of checking out Romeo and Juliet even though Izzie's favorite scene ever in all the movies (The Potions Master) did remind Iz ever so so much of the Friar and his consultation with Juliet concerning the use of certain narcotic plants to fake death.
*Iz buzzes off all excited looking for more Bardish clues and has a dreadful sense of forboding that most of them are going to be in Hamlet *
So can any culture vultures out there remember those verses and save Iz the temptation of straying from her auditing textbooks in search of poetic poisons.
