For one opinion, I do, indeed, and it occurs that
part of viewers' frustration with actors'
performances is the ickle bits of time the actors
had to portray our fictional friends.

Julie Walters as Mrs. Weasley, for instance. The
woman is a fine actress (her performance in
"Educating Rita" is memorable), yet she has all
of, what?, three lines in the HP movie. Same for
Fiona Shaw, one of England's fine stage and film
actresses, portraying Petunia.  

If only there could have been a miniseries,
following nearly every line in the book! Some
people may gasp at the literalness of the idea,
but others might consider that the characters
would truly "come to life" as the actors had
generous opportunity to interpret them.

Ah, we can dream. ;)
