Missing something

I've seen the movie tonight at the midnight premiere, so here comes another
review...

First off, I thought it was completely awesome and wonderful... I was
sitting in there with a huge beaming smile on my face the whole time.

Apart from the greatness there were also things that disappointed me. Yes,
they were very true to the books, but there were just things missing that
helped to create the unique HP atmosphere. For example during Quidditch. It
completely took my breath away and I don't think I've ever seen something
that awesome... but I sorely missed Lee's witty comments. True, Lee
commented, but how - it was boring! And Prof McGonagall didn't shake her
fist or knock her hat askew :-(  There were several similar things that I
just missed. It doesn't lessen the quality of the movie, or the fun I had,
but I really noticed it.

Another two things: First off - too little humour. They snipped out many of
those scenes and left out good lines. And - I didn't like the changed
ending. Of course, having Harry pass out and Dumbledore come to the rescue
ould've been a major anticlimax, Quirrell did a nice crumpling act, but I
didn't really think it was a good solution.

And another thing: who knows me from chat also knows that I spend my time
mostly being Mrs. Snape... and what can I say, I'm still in love, more than
ever
before. AR was very good. But  (I know I will get beaten for this - maybe
I'll
change my mind when I've seen it a second time, so don't sue me if I write
tomorow and say he is a really mean git in the movie) - what was it with all
the
robe and hair swishing? Sometimes I felt like he stuck too closely to his
role in
Blow Dry. And another thing is, he didn't really come over *that* mean - it
always sounded like he was being sly and cunning (he's a Slyth after all)
but
you never were sure if he wanted to give an advice or was
simply being a git. I really can't wait for the "teeth-scene" in GoF <g>.
I guess my problems with Sev are mostly due to the bad dubbing (did I say
bad? I meant horrible! Sad fact,but as I thought it would be - they never
manage
to dub right and dubbing AR is impossible).
And just to say it again: I love Snape, he's brilliantly portraied (hey, did
anyone
ever think I wouldn't? <G>) !!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, I also liked Lily - she's always been one of my fave's and the actress
looks good.

Did I mention I'm going again tonight, tomorrow night, Saturday and Sunday?
