my thoughts

Well, i've been a BIG Harry fan for about 18months now and have been waiting 
for the movie with a cross between complete elation and utter dread.  I 
needn't have worried:)

I have to say i loved it and, for the most part, I think they plucked people 
and places right out of my head and put them on the cinema screen:)  

I think most people have agreed that Rupert and Ron was fantastic and, along 
with Hagrid, made me laugh out loud on may occasions! Though i was a bit 
miffed that they gave him the line that follows Hermione asking if they saw 
what Fluffly was standing on ("It's feet?! I was too busy with it's heads!") 
as in the book that is one of my favourite Harry lines!!  I agree with 
whoever it was that says Rupert Grint has fantastic comic timing for a 12 
year old:)

I thought Hermione was great, a little over the top at times, but still great 
all the same:) If I had one compaint about her, it would be that she is too 
pretty, no big teeth!!

Dan played Harry greatly I thought....he was very understated, and I think 
this stays true to the book, I feel that as Harry grows in the next books, so 
will Dan's portrayal of him.  How much did you say "awwww!" when he said 
"I've got presents?!" *another great facial expression from Rupert here which 
appears to says "Poor bugger! of course you have!"*

All other actors and supporting actors were great *who's that Rach, Sean 
Biggerstaff? What, i never mentioned him.....honest *ahem*!  And although 
oliver Wood was not as desperate and fanatical as I imagined him, I thought 
it was a great performance and you could see the hunger bubbling a little 
inside him:)

I did find myself saying "Oooh! they cut that bit out!!" a fair few times, 
but at the end of the day, it's a film and there is no way they could fit all 
my favourite bits in without killing
