Hunger Games Day 25: Your dream cast
I like the cast … I don’t love it, but it has grown on me. I think that Stanley Tucci as Caesar is spot on, along with Woody Harrelson as Haymitch. Jennifer Lawrence has really grown on me, but I think Dakota Fanning could have done Katniss justice.
Looking to the future Coin should be played by Meryl Streep, and I’d go with Ian Somerhalder as Finnick.

Day 23: Your favorite secondary character
Call me crazy, I am choosing Katniss’s prep team. I was a huge fan of Cinna, Flavius, Venia, and Octavia. … and I feel like they are some of the most underrated characters in the series.
I loved how devoted and loyal Cinna was, and I was so upset when he was beaten and later killed. Likewise, one of my favorite scenes is when Katniss...

Hunger Games Day 21: A pairing you don't get
hmm … do Peeta & Gale count? … well now it just seems funny to consider them a pair, nonetheless … I feel like there was not enough tension between the two of them. Maybe there should have been more drama? … or distaste for each other? … or fighting for Katniss’s attention?

Day 16: A question you wish had been answered in the book
What’s the deal with Gale?
Yeah, we got the update about what he’s doing … but he has absolutely no contact with Katniss? … there was no closure between the two of them … their storyline just fizzled.

Hunger Games Day 14: Your favorite tribute
Unlike everyone else who chooses Finnick, I am going to go with Johanna. She just seemed like such a cool badass
… and I have a soft spot for Mags; I just envision her as such a sweet selfless old lady, and I loved her bond with Finnick, and the way she volunteered to spare Annie.

Not that I am wishing death on him, but I would not have been upset if Gale didn’t survive.

Hunger Games Day 12: A character you wish hadn't...
Just one? … impossible.
I wish Rue did not die, but her death was such a key role in the story, too. The fact that there was so much death and sadness added so much depth to the series. … nonetheless I was sad to see Cinna and Seneca not make it.
… and from the 75th Games, I was so sad that Mags died, but found it so moving that she volunteered for the games, and then...

Hmmm … just that the story sort of fizzled in the end? … there was so much detail in the series, and then the brief glimpse of the future at the end of Mockingjay just seemed too vague.
