Not sure if I needed that or not I couldnt remember the cut off date! But
better safe then get another howler right?!

First I was so glad to watch COS for Thanksgiving(US holiday) instead of
waiting 3 more weeks until Christmas!! I was not nearly as disappointed as
some of you!! My husband(Not an HP fan) even liked the movie!!

My scenes that really stand out:
The chamber door opening the way it did! I liked the round large sink in the
movie-I kept picturing a small bathroom sink so that helped get that image
out of my head.
I also loved the way the snakes slithered around the lock to open the
chamber! Really added that magical spell touch in my oppinion.
I thought Harry's eyes were way more focused on in the movie COS then in SS!
I could see his eyes had color although I couldn't really tell if they were
a blue or green? Even though I know they are supposed to be green I couldn't
tell!
I loved Ginny's shock of oh my gosh he is in my house look when Harry said
hello to her. I thought she did a fabulous job showing that she had feelings
for those people that haven't read the books.
I thought the image of the "the snake" was so well thought out! It really
brought the snake to life and I could see why it would be more feared then
just a large snake. Along with this I think Tom Riddle's character was
perfect. Handsome is a trait that draws people to follow someone even if
they know it may be wrong or evil in this case. Many evil people are
handsome and charming. This is perfectly played out with the character in
the movie adding that much more to my image in the book.
Dumbledore seeing the kids in Hagrid's house when they arrested him makes me
try and think hard what color eyes does he have. I loaned my book out to a
friend of mine and so I can't look it up-someone please reply to let me know
because I am wondering if this is a trait (maybe eye color) that might be
something Rowlings is getting to about Harry having his mother's eyes? Just
a thought.
I loved Lucius character in the movie! I loved the long hair pulled back-to
me it represented him hiding something deep within(yes we know what it is)
but it just added so much more to his look. His expressions were priceless
and really had that feared look to them to anyone that saw him.
I adored Mr. Weasley's character in the movie too! He was such a fun but yet
powerful looking man that he really brought all the boys looks together. I
wasn't thrilled with the twins in SS but somehow having him in the movie
brought their look to the table and made it acceptable casting in my
"characters" anyways.
I thought Doby was cuter and loved his expressions and movement in
everything he did in the movie. I really hated the way he looked in the
posters but seeing him in the movie really made me have feelings of caring
toward him. I thought he was much better played out in the movie than in the
book.
I left the movie feeling satisfied and definately cant wait to get the dvd
and have high hopes that it will have more extra scenes than SS did.

I hope I havent repeated anything I am sure I have but hopefully my imput
will be appreciated as I was trying so hard not to read the spoilers before
I saw the movie!!
