I realize that there were time constraints (believe me, I realize
this--I saw the movie with my five-year-old son), but did anyone else
miss the theme of Harry's fall from glory when the trio looses 150
points from Gryffindor in a single night? I really liked that part
of the book--Harry's emotional rollercoaster of a year going from
neglected nephew to fabulously famous boy-hero to despised classmate
to hero once again! It makes the victory of his house that much
sweeter at the end.
I also loved Dan as Harry and liked Ron more in the movie than I have
in the books. Hermione is my girl and I will hear no bad talk about
her (even the movie Hermione). I agree with all that James Potter is
irritatingly wrong.
The movie was slightly disappointing in that it did not capture all
the wit and magic of the book; however, it was still very good with
some excellent moments.
My five-year-old did think it was scary (lots of whimpering and eye-
covering during troll scene, chess game and showdown with V.) Of
course, I asked him if he wanted to leave...and was soooo relieved
when he said "no" each time. Hopefully we will not have
nightmares! Elle
