It's not so much the appearance that bothers me (not what I imagined, 
but not something I'm totally adverse to either), but he 
didn't /feel/ right to me.  Dobby always struck me as having a lot of 
energy on the page--there's this sense of urgency in everything he 
does.  I didn't get that in the trailer--he felt kind of tired and 
half-hearted to me.
The bit with the car looks excellent, though.
