My lil review

[Dixie Malfoy]

Hey all. :)  I haven't read anyone's reviews yet so bear with me if I 
say the same things as everyone else has. 

We don't need spoiler space here, right? Oh well, you've been 
warned. ;)

--The Dursley's--loved the bit where Dudley was coming down the 
stairs and the decided to go back and jump above Harry's cupboard. It 
really looked like the thought had just struck him to do so. I also 
liked how Vernon looked a bit out of it, almost crazy-like after 
nailing the post slot closed and then talking about how glad he was 
that it was Sunday. Amber I were talking afterwards about how great 
we thought Fiona Shaw did as Petunia, especially her little speech in 
the hut on the rock.
--Was a bit bothered about how they didn't CGI Harry's eyes green. 
Now, I'm no computer expert, but is it really that hard to CGI some 
eyes? Also, up until maybe about the Diagon Alley part, it looked 
like Harry had no glass in his glasses.
--When Harry told Hagrid that he didn't know he was a wizard, etc, 
doesn't Hagrid get really mad at that fact? He didn't seem to be too 
mad about that in the books. 
--I did like how Dudley stole the cake. Made the pig's tail part 
better. :)
--Liked Diagon Alley. What was above the Leaky Cauldron sign that we 
were supposed to look for? I didn't see anything there.
--I don't know why but I didn't really like that beret thing Mrs 
Weasley was wearing.
--Really wished that Fred and George had more lines. The "Honestly, 
mother" part is one of my favorites from the book but they took out 
the part where they talk to Percy about being a Prefect. I guess they 
didn't use it because it wasn't important to the plot? Oh well.
--I saw Neville and his gran at the station. :)
--Loved the scene between Harry and Ron on the train. It was cute how 
sad Ron looked about his lumpy old sandwich.
--Before Hermione told Ron about the dirt on his nose, was it even 
there? I never saw it until she pointed it out.
--Tom Felton is so cute as Draco lol. He didn't have that big a part, 
and with the exception of his funny screaming face, I thought he did 
a great-Malfoy job. :)
--I also loved how the Sorting Hat hadn't even touched his head when 
it screamed out "Skytherin!" hehe
--Liked the subtle moving pictures in the background. They moved but 
they didn't totally draw attention to themselves, except of course 
when the first years notice them but they were supposed too so oh 
well. lol
--I really thought their common room would be bigger. There seemed to 
be more than 10 first years and from the size of the group, it didn't 
look like there was even enough room for them in there, much less all 
of Gryffindor.
--I always imagined their beds to be bigger, but that didn't bother 
me.
--I liked Ron's reaction to Hermione levitating the feather--when he 
sulked and put his head down on his books. That was cute.
--Someone somewhere said that they didn't like Emma Watson at all so 
I kinda went in the theater thinking that she would annoy me too. 
(The scene from the commercials, which, by the way, wasn't in the 
movie, where she says, "He's rather disagreeable, isn't he?" in 
regards to Draco always bothered me. She moved her eyebrows too much 
lol) Anyways, I thought she did a good job.
--Liked the flying lesson and Draco's 360 on his broom. Did anyone 
else think that Harry was totally going to crash into McGonagall's 
window? LoL I know that wasn't supposed to happen, but that was a 
nice quick stop of his.
--Sean Biggerstaff. Scottish Accent. *fans herself* He is The Boy 
That Is Hot. It was funny how he tried to wrestle that bludger. :) I 
can't wait to see the movie again, not just because it's good but 
because of him. Is that too pathetic? Nah...lol
--Quidditch: really cool. Yes, they were zipping around fast, but it 
was still really neat. *sobs* My poor Oliver! *kicks Marcus Flint and 
advises him to get braces*  (the Slyth. Seeker was kinda cute too 
though)
--Ok, the Keeper gets knocked out and so does one of the Chasers. 
Shouldn't Gryffindor get at least a foul? Can they really play 
without a Keeper? Or is Madam Hooch just not paying attention? lol
--Didn't really understand why Harry surfed the broom. Couldn't he 
have just leaned a little bit more forward?
--Does anyone else, besides me, think that Devon Murray (Seamus) is 
adorable? Daniel Radcliffe is short right? Devon only came up to 
about Dan's shoulder lol. I just think he's cute.
--Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith *are* Snape and McGonagall IMO. They 
did a great job, even if they weren't used that much.
--Didn't like the Bloody Baron. Looked a bit too happy lol. Also, was 
it just me or was the Grey Lady, like, everywhere? Did you see her in 
McGonagall's classroom when the Trio ask to see Dumbledore? It looked 
like she was writing or copying something.
--The plaques--saw McGonagall's Quidditch plaque, but who is RJH (or 
was it LJH?) King? Just a made up character?
--Devil's Snare was neat. I never though about them dropping 
underneath it. Maybe I've always read that part wrong, but I always 
thought the plant was already on the ground.
Liked the Keys. Made it a lot harder to catch when they started 
swarming Harry and I liked that. I always pictured them moving like 
they were before he touched the broom and that's a bit too easy.
--Liked the chess game. Don't know if Heidi's posted yet, but I like 
her point that she made (or will make) about this scene.
--Really liked the end. It was interesting how Quirrel turned into 
dust. I always wondered, when they said that Voldie left him there to 
die, what they did with the body. Really thought it was cool how 
Voldie went through Harry. Dan did a great job in that scene.
--Why did Quirrel have really long fingernails? Did that bother 
anyone else a bit?
--Didn't think Dumbledore seemed too upset with getting an earwax 
bean, unless Harris did that to make it seem funny? 
--Cute photo album picture. :)
--Liked the Mirror of Erised scene where Harry's just sitting real 
quiet in front of it. I was like, "Awwww."
--The guy who was James--was too old and unless you count the 
glasses, he and Harry don't look that much alike.

I don't think I forgot anything. :)  On the whole, 4 out of 5 stars.
Liked the movie. Liked the scenery. Loved Sean Biggerstaff. ;)
