Excuse me if I'm being redundant on anything somebody
else has already said, especially since I'm a newbie
and still have a load of messages left to read, but
I'm not entirely sure J.K. Rowling did make the final
cuts to the movie.  In fact, I'm pretty sure that she
stuck around to perfect the look, feel, and just about
everything of the movie, but she certainly didn't have
the tough job of being the person to make the final
decisions on the cutting room floor.  The director is
the artist.  He's the interpreter and, ultimately,
J.K. had little power over what scenes should be kept
and others ommitted. As for the cuts made, I think
that most of them were necessary, even if I can't be
completely sure of this because I haven't seen the
four hour long version (I wish!), but the movie did a
great job in extracting the essential scenes and
showing it on the big screen.  I'll be reading the
other fifty-something messages (do you guys write that
much every single day?!?!  I hope so! =) to get the
complete perspective about what everyone thinks.  By
the way, my name is Milly and I'm a Harry Potter
veteran, first discovering the books at age 18 when my
sister unwisely decided to leave The Sorcerer's Stone
on the dining room table while she went off to take a
shower.  She still hasn't found it!  mwahahhaha!! =)
But, yea, she can just buy herself another
copy...heehee...Well, that's it for now!  Have a great
rest-of-the-day, everyone!  

Warm greetings from Miami, FL...

Milly V.
