>3) The final scene. It did bother me that Harry killed Quirrell using 
his bare hands. They could just show Quirrell get burned and knocked 
out without turning into a pile of ashes and then show Voldemort's 
spirit leaving him and going through Harry's body. 
Overall, I loved this movie and watched it twice. The second time was 
even better than the 1st.
  
I wasn't too keen on this bit either, but after the second time viewing I don't think Harry intended him to crumble to bits. After he grabs Quirrell's hand and it crumbles, Harry looks at his hands as if he can't believe what just happened. Then he and Quirrell rush towards each other and Harry jams his hands onto Quirrell's face. He than pulls away and looks with horrified amazement at his hands again, still unable to understand the effect it is having on Quirrell. I think the book way was better when he just fainted and Voldemort killed Quirrell when abandoning him, but I don't think movie-Harr was a deliberate murderer.

On a slightly different subject, I didn't mind Harry having blue eyes particularly - I know the ideal boy would have had green eyes, but it's pretty difficult to find a black / dark brown haired boy with blue eyes instead of hazel or brown, let alone trying to find one with green eyes! If the lenses and special effects didn't work, so be it - it's still pretty close to the right colour!

I also like the menacing Snape in the movie - I don't think he should have slammed his way into the classroom - looked as if he was running late and hurring to start the lesson! But I think I would have been fooled into thinking he was the menace, not Quirrell!

Back to lurking!
