Seventeen points against the movie (not all L.O.O.N.) and five pros

[John Hancock]

Sorry, I can't agree with most of what you have said. The film was 
aimed at two audiences, those who had read the books and those who 
hadn't (yes, there are some). Now, for the film to be watchable it 
had to be a decent length, and leaving it uncut you'd be looking at 4 
hours+. So cuts had to be made which means that there would have to 
be slight changes and re-writes. Luckily, these changes were done by 
JKR so obviously they are gonna be true to the story. This should 
please the fans, but it would leave out just enough to make those who 
haven't read the books curious. I work in a school and have seen a 
sudden increase in children wanting to read the books. Maybe we 
should all stop nitpicking and just ENJOY*!

(To be honest, Dumbledore would not have been an effect Headmaster if 
he was constantly happy etc..... we do see his kind side and also I 
think what he thinks of Harry and Co. in the hospital scene at the 
end and therefore I think Richard Harris was pretty good as 
Dumbledore)
