Snape, Poll, and odds and ends

[Denise]

Went with my son to see the movie today (he's 4).  We only missed a small
portion, but thankfully I've absorbed the book (can't say read, that's too
mundane, and I've literally bathed almost in the books! grins), and it
wasn't a plot-buster.  After the mirror, Ian looked at me, and said, Mommy,
I really have to go potty.  I did too, so we hurried off.  We got back right
when Norbert was hatching.  There were 5 people in the theatre after us 2,
total 7 (and it was Tinseltown) watching it.  The girls in back told me it
was their second viewing (if that helps with that poll?), and my son's
additional commentary didn't bother them.  As far as following the book, I
think they did rather well.  I understand that there's not every scene in
the book, and I was disappointed that one of my favorite lines was missing
"ARE YOU A WITCH...?"during the Devil's Snare scene.

As for Mr. Rickman.  HOT!  It was a bit weird seeing the man that I drooled
over with RH:PoT without the beard and mustache, and with the hair, but he
was the most perfect Snape.  He's one reason that I went to see the movie,
btw.  I like Snape, he's a wonderful character in the books, so
multifaceted, and that along with Rickman made it a one-two MUST SEE!

I LOVED the movie, and yes, I am planning to see it again.  I was lucky
enough to only pay 3.75 per ticket this time, but the snack bar took 10, so
it was still a great deal of money.  Next time, I told my son we'll be going
to the Jr. Movie theatre (aka the dollar-run) after Christmas, when Mommy
can afford it again!  Too bad there's not an intermission--almost everyone
of the folks in there ran out at least once!  The soundtrack is awesome
(been listening to the CD for ages now), and I think it's the bomb.  My
favorite actors in the movie were Hermoine and Ron.  For first-timers, they
were "bloody brillant."  My son's favorites are Hagrid and Harry himself.  I
think Harry was a perfect fit. :)

Of course, I'm a bit biased, I like Hermoine best in the books too!  (well,
beside Sirius and Lupin, but that's not like, it's lust, and there's a
deeper conversation right there!)

I can't believe the DVD is ready to be distributed already.  That just blows
my mind.  It used to be that you had to wait a year.  I am DEFINITELY
getting that DVD player for my Television now.  Watching Quidditch on the
computer screen just wouldn't be the same. Lol.

I have a viewpoint on the "fly-through."  If you've ever deal with ghosts,
wraiths, or other entities you will notice that there's a chill to them, as
if they are sucking energy out of you.  What if Voldie sucked out enough of
Harry's energy (aka psychic vampire-like) to escape.  He prolly figured that
Dumbledore was returning, and things could get tricky.
