sorry I haven't read all of the opinions and comments yet, but the biggest 
problem I have with the movie version is the casting of James Potter!  I 
wonder if anyone has the same feeling as I because that was the biggest 
topic in my group of friends when we saw it last night.  He looks really bad 
and doesn't look like Harry at all (doesn't Jame suppose to have messy hair 
just like his son? in the movie he looks bald and barely has any hair at all!), 
he looks like a really normal average Joe, like a random business man/car 
dealer or something (no offense to anyone who's a business man or car 
dealer)!  too normal and average looking, and he was suppose to be 
charismatic and popular back then while Alan Rickman Snape was supposed 
to be unpopular and "ugly"  when they were young?!?!? how unconvincing!  
poor Lily, she was so pretty!!  

anyways, I think the movie definitely is far from perfect, but I truly enjoy it very 
much and will go see it couple more times before the DVD comes out.
