Hello and Information

[Laura]

Hi everyone,

I'm a new member to this list; I'm 25 and as big a Harry Potter fan 
as they come.  So far I've seen the movie three times in the theater, 
and once on bootleg video (ack!).  I don't recommend the video; the 
quality is terrible.  :)  Although I've found a few things to nitpick 
about the film (I didn't care for the appearance of the centaur, and 
they completely neglected to explain about Snape having been Harry's 
father's enemy at school), and of course it's not nearly as wonderful 
as the book, on the whole I've enjoyed it and would gladly go see it 
again.  

I haven't read many back messages for the list, so I don't know if 
anyone has already posted about this.  But www.petitiononline.com has 
a petition up asking Chris Columbus and Warner Bros. to please, 
please, please release a director's cut DVD, so we can see the full 
four hours of footage that were originally supposed to be in the 
movie.  If anyone would be interested in signing the petition, here's 
the address:

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you celebrating it today!
