[HPFGU-Movie] Annoyed at Warner Bros/Dobby

[Katze]

I won't be seeing Scooby Doo. I never planned on it, and I'm not willing 
to see it just for the trailer. I suspect they'll post the full trailer 
eventually. It's interesting that you bring up Matrix, since Matrix is 
also a WB production. It's because of the Matrix that POA will be 
released a year later than anticipated.

I'm not worried though - before we know it, November will be here, and 
we'll get to see Harry Potter in all it's glory all over again. I'm very 
much looking forward to it! I'm excited just looking at the pictures, 
and my husband has already agreed that I can drag him to see it (maybe 
again and again?). It's great too because he hasn't read books 2, 3, or 4!

As for Dobby - I was quite surprised and somewhat disappointed with his 
appearance. He doesn't really resemeble the drawing he was supposed to 
be modeled after (not that I could tell - I didn't see a super long nose 
cause we never saw a side shot). I also imagined him talking really fast 
and almost like a little child. I expected him to be a little softer 
around the edges (even though they probably don't get to eat much), and 
much smaller. I imagined his skin more yellowish-green (perhaps his eye 
color seeped into his skin in my mind?), and I imagined his green eyes 
as bright as Harry's eyes are *supposed* to be. Oh well - maybe he'll 
grow on me.
